ASCROFULA, OR KINGS EVIL, is n con-
~ stitutional disease taint corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated weak
and poor. Being in the circulation, it peryades
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 yariousy caused by mercurial
d isease, low living. disordercd or unhealthy
food impure air, filth and filthy habits the depres
sing vices, and, above all, by the ycncreal nfec-
ton. Whatever be its origin it 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, Il will visit
the iniqulties of the fathers upon th9ir children
1t effects commence by deposition from the blood
of corrupt and uicerous matter, ,wh Oh in the lungs

the glands, sweilingsi and on the surface, erup-
tions sores. This foul corruption, which gem
ders in the blood deprcsses the energies of life
that scrofuous constitutions not only suffer from
scrofulous complaints but they have far less power
to withstand the attacks of other diseases consc-
quentiy, vast numbers perish by disorders which,
although not scrofulous in their nature, are still
rendered fatal by this taint in the system. Most
of the consumption which deccminates the human
family has its org directly in this scrofuous con-
tamination, and many destructive diseases of the
liver, kidneys BRAIN and indeed of all the organs
arise from or aggravated by the same cause
One quarter of all our people scrofulous; their
persons are invaded by this lurking contamination,
and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse
1t from the system we must renovatc the blood by
an Alternative medicine and inv goratc by healthy
food and exercise. Such medicine we supply in
