PICTURE OF LIFE In youth we

PICTURE OF LIFE In youth we
seem climbing up hill on whose top
eternal sunshine appears to rest. How
eagerly we pant to gain its summit
But when we have gained it, how diff
ferent is the prospect, on the other
sidel We sigh as we contemplate the
waste before us, and look back with a
wistful eye upon the howery path we
have passed, but may never more re-
trace. Life is like a portentious cloud
fraught with thunder, storm and rain,
but religion, like those streaming rays
of sunshine, will clothe it with light
as with a garment, and fringe is
shadowy skirts as with gold.

AYERS Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla,

the most cfectual remedy which the medical skill of our times can devise for this everywhere prevailing and fatal malady. It is combined from the most active rcmcdisls that have been discovered for the expurgation of this foul disor der from the blood, and the rescue of the sys- tenn from its destructive consequences. Hence it should be employed for the cure of not only scrofula, but also those other affections which arise from it, such as ERUpT1vE and SKIN D1s- EASES, ST. ANrHoNY's FIRE, ROSE, or ERr- s1rELAs, P1MPLEs, PUsruLEs, BLorcHEs, BLA1Ns and Bo1Ls, TUMoRs, TErrER, and SALT RHEUM, SCALD HEAD, R1NGwoRM, RHEUMATISM, SYPHIL1rIc and MERcUR1AL DISEASES, DRopsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and, indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM V1r1ArED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief in "imp,uity of the blood," is founded in truth for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsa- parlla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid without which sound health is impossible in contaminated constitutions.

Scrofula. or Kings Evil.

is . constitutional disease, corruption of tho blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated, weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it pervades the whole body, and may burst out in disease on any part of it. No organ is free from its attacks, nor is there one which it may not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously caused hv mcrcurial disease, low living, disordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth, and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by the venereal infection. Whatever be its origin, ir is hereditary in the constitution,- descending "from parents to children unto the third and fourth generation" ;" indeed it seems to be the rod of Him who says, T will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon their children
 Its effects commence by deposition from the blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed tubcrcles in the glands, swellings; and on the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul corrup- ton, which genders in the blood, depresses the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitutions rot only suffer from scrofu'ous complaints, but they have far less power to withstand the attacks of other diseases: consequently, vast numbers perish by disorders which, although not scrofu- ious in their nature are still rendered fatal by this taint in the system. Most of the consump- ton which decimatcs the human family has it's origin directly in this scrofulous contamination and many destructive diseases of the liver, kid ncys, brain, and, indeed of all the organs, arise from or arc aggravated by the same cause.
 One quarter of all our people are scrofulous i; their persons are invaded by this lurking infec- ton, and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse it from the system we must rcnovate the blood by an altcrative medicine, and invigorate it by healthy food and exercise. Such medi- cine we supply in
