SCROFULA, Or KINGS EVIL, is a con-
- stitutiona disease, tant, corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated weak,
and poor. Being in the ation, it peryades
the whole body, and may burst out in disease on
any part of it. No organ is free from its attacks
is there which it may not destroy. The
scrofulous taint Is yariously caused by mercurial
disease, low living disordered unhealthy
food, impure air. filth and filthy habits the depres-
sing vices and, above all, by the venereal infec-
tion. Whatever be its origin, it is hereditary in the
constitution. descending from parents to children

the iniquities of the fathers upon thsir children
1t effects commence by deposition from the blood
of corrupt and ulcerous matter which. in the lungs

the glands, swellings; and on the surface, erup-

ders in the blood depresses the energies of life SO
that scrofulous constitutions not only suffer from
scrofuous complaints, but they have far less power
to withstand the attacks of other diseases conse-
quently, 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 deceminaes the human
family has its origin directly in this scrofulous
tamnation, 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 people scrofulous their
persons are invaded by this lurking contamination
and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse
it from the system we must renovate the blood by
