OF Bafin, Behring, Muller, Vancouver,

object which induced these commanders

ocean, viz: the discovery Of = North
West Passage, from Bafan's Bay, to Be-
herring straits In the Pacific Ocean. -
This was the favorite schcms of the
British Government, in order to obtain

ScrofuAa, or Kings Evil

is a constitutional disease, corruption. of the blood, by which this fluid becomes vitated, weak, and poor Being in tho circulation, it pervadcs 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 scrofu!ous taint is variousy caused by merc,lrial disease, low living, disordered or unhealthy food. impure air, filth, and filthy habits, tho depressing vices, and, above all, by the vcnercal infection. Whatever be its origin. it is hereditary in the constitution, descending from parents to children unto the third and fourth gcncratioa;" indeed it seems 10 bc the rod of Him who says, Il will visit the niquities of the fathers upon their children"
 Its effects commence by deposition from the blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in tle lungs, liver, and internal organs. is termed tu5crcles; in tho glands, swelings; ard on tho surface, crup;ions or sores. This foul corrup- ton, which gcndcrs in the liood. dcprcsses the energies of life, so that scrof!ous constitutions not on.v suffer from scrofuous complaints but they have far less power to withstand the attacks of other diseases: consequently, vast numbers perish by disorders which, although not scrofu- lous in their nature arc still rendered fatal by this taint in the system. Most of the consump- ton which dccimatcs the human family has it's origin directly in this scrofulous contamination; and many destructive diseases of the liver, kid neys, brain, and; indeed, of all the organs, arise from or arc aggravated by the same cause.
 One quarter of all our people arc scrofulous their persons arc invaded by this lurking infcc- ton, and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse it from the system VIC must rcrovlte tho blood by an altcrativc medicine, and inv, ,.orate it by healthy food and exercise. Such 1nedi- cine VIC supply in

tho most cticctual remedy which the medical skill of our times devise for this everywhere prevailing and fatal ma.ady, It is combined from the most active rrmcJials that have been discovered for the cSpugaiioa of this foul disor- der from tho blood, and the rescue of the sys- tenn from its destructive consequences. Hence it should be employed for tho cnrc of not only scrofula, but also those other affections w..ich arise from it, such as rRurrIvE and SKIN DIs- EASES, ST.

Tho popular belief ia "impariiy of the uood," is founded in truth, for scrofua s degeneration of the blood. Tho particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsa- paria is to purify and rcgcncatc this vital fluid, without which sound health is impossible in contaminated constitutions.
