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 faint is variously
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 " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, 81

blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that s~crofulousc ~onstitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not s~crDfulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
inmates 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 OIL

goinE ste2hily, but surely to the inebriate's
destiny n I'VE need not say that we felt bad,
for sN Jour past recollections came wildly
to o lhind. We offered him food but no
money, as we told hlm we were sure that he
would use it for drink. Do said he, 8 give

shall dieP We looked at him more closely
and saw that he was bordering on delirium.
Our hearts were touched and we gave him
what he desired, and urged him to try and
reform. His answer was that it was too late.
In the evening, as we called into one of the
station houses, We found him begging for a
lodging. We asked him if he recollected
what he said about drinking when we first
commenced years ago. He said he did, and
that when he said it he supposed that he
thould never lore drink, but he found now
that he did, and that he possessed burning
desire for its continual use. In the morning
he came to US again. We offered him foo
but he did not want it-drink was his only
desire. As we think of his whole history
and of our past friendship, we are led to ex-
claim, Boys, beware of the first glass!

the most ~efectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is CON-
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the e~xpurgation 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

A Warming to Young Men,

In nearly all the larger towns and cities
young men form themselves into clubs, of
various kinds, to enable them to pass away
the hours of the long Winter evenings So
cially and pleasantly. They are, many of
them, among strangers, far away from the
home circle, and the pleasant associations
which gather round the hearthstone of their
childhood, and they find it difficult to get
into society. Their time, after the business
hours of the day are past, drags heavily,
and they are ready to take up with almost
anything WHICH offers in the shape of amuse-
ment or recreation. A club of jolly good
fellows has many attractions under these cir
cumstances. Whilst we would not curtail
the real enjoyments of the young, especially
under such circumstance as we have detailed
above, we would warn them against those
which are injurious to either soul or body.
An old merchant related in our hearing a
few evenings since, his own experience, and
observation in regard to this matter. When
he left home to go into business in the city,
he felt lonely in the evening, and longed for
companionship. He was difident and had
no influential friends to take him by the
hand and introduce him into society. A
friend invited him to Join a social club, they
spent their time in song and jest, eating and
drinking, and general jollity. He kept a list
of all who belonged to the club during his
connection with it and has traced their his
tories since. Of forty-nine, but three now
remain enjoying a green old age. Most o
the others went to early graves the victims
of intemperance. Very few of them were
ever successful in business, though some o
them were young men of fine business ca
pacity. Our venerable friend thinks thu
seed of their ruin were sown in a club room
He said, with great emphasis, "Rad 1 al
iron voice, through our whole country
would say to every young man, beware Q
the club room, and especially the room of
drinking club. Many a young man is ruinet
there before he is aware of his danger"

their penetrating properties search, and cleanse,
and mvigorate every portion of the human organ

its healthy ~vitalities. As a consequence of these
properties, the invalid who is bowed down with

health or energy restored by a remedy at once SO
simple and inviting.
Not only do they cure the everyday complaints
of every body, but also many formidable and
dangerous diseases. The agent below named is
containing certificates of their cures and directions
for their use in the following complaints: Costire-

So wide is the field of its usefulness and so nu-
merous are the cases of its cures, that almost
every section of country abounds in persons pub
licly known, who have been restored from alarming
and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its
use. When once tried, its superiority over every
other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape
observation, and where its virtues are known, the
public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections of the
pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate.
While many inferior remedies thrust upon the
community have failed and been discarded, this
has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits
on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro-
duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to
be forgotten.
