Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is a constitutional disease, q corruptisn of the
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 valiously
caused by mercurial disease, low living. dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending d" from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation :" indeed.
it seems to be the rod of Him who says al
will visit the iniquitics 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
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and On
tho surface, cruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, dcprcsse5
the energies of life, so that scrofIous constitu-
tions not only suffer from scrofuous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases consc-
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous il their nature
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed of all the organs arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking IN
fecton, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse il from the system we must renovato
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigOrate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such q medicine we supply in

Compound Extract Of SarSaparilla,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill Of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation Of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue OF the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure Of
not only scrofula, but also those other asIec-
tions which arise from it, such as ERUrTIyB
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTuoNT's FIRE,
ROSE, or ERysIPELAs, PIMPLEs, PUsrULEs,
BLotcHEs, BLAISs and Bons, TUMoRs, letter
and SALT RHEUM, ScALD HEAD, RIN0woRM,
RHEUMATIsM, SYrHILITIc and MERCURIAL Dis
EASES, DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM NITIA-
TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in " mpurity fhe blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration Of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue Of this Sarsapa-
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital huid
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.
