Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

Il a constitutional disease, corruption OF the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, 1t
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
In disease on any part of il. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which II may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mercurisl 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, IL is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation =" indeed,
1t seems to be the rod Of Him who says, al
will visit the iniquites 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
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
rupton, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies Of life, SO that scrofulous constitu-
tions not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants but they have fur less power to with
stand 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 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 OF
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous
their persons are invaded by this lurking in.
| fection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovntt
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in.
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise
Such 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 affec-
tions which arise from it, such as ERuPTIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHONYs FIRE,
RosE, or ERYsIPELAs, PMPLEs, PUsTULEs,

indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITA

in " inpwity Of the blood !" is founded in truth
for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. Th'
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa
rlla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid
without which sound health is impossible il

Five Persons Burned to Death on the
Prairies

Prairie,
We learn from the Story County (Iowa)
AdUocGte Of the lst inst, that Daniel Swear
ingen, recently from Tuscarawas county in
this State, passed through Nevada with
his family on the Monday previous, with
his wife and four children, on his way tc
his farm near Fort Dodge. They were
overtaken by fire on the prairie The Ad
vOcote says:
Without other warning than moments
sensation of heat as felt through the cover
of the wagon in which they were all travel
ing in fancied security, they were overtakeu
by fire on the prairie. Before any measures
could be taken for protection, the wagon
cover was in flames. In a moment the bed
ding and other infamable material in the
wagon was on fire, and before Mr.. S. could
make his way out of the wagon through
the flames, his clothing was on fire. Un.
fortunately as he fell out of the wagon, he
was kicked by one of the horses, and for a
time stunned beyond ability to help the 9th
ers. He revived in time to see his wife fal
from the wagon, burned to death, and tc
drag from the flames one of his children,
already dead. His own clothing was burn
cd entirely from his body, and he is severe
ly burned, especially in the head, face and
hands. He is at present sightless, but
hopes are entertained OF his recovery, and
that his eye-sight is not destroyed, Two
of the children were Utterly burned up il
in the wagon. Of one, nothing could bC
found but the skull; the other a charreC
mass, in which was no trace of humanity
left.
One of the horses was burned to deatl
in the harness; the other succeeded in free
ing himself, but is badly burned.
The dead are Mary Ann, the wife of Nj
Sweariugeu, aged 80 years; Sarah Jane
Rebeca Ellen, George Dalton, and Sabrins
his children, aged respectively, eleven, nine
seven, and two years.
The calamity occurred about seven mile
northwest of this place on the Fort Dodg
rode, in a small basin, or commencement
!, of water channel.

CoNTENTED WITH THEIR CONDITION.
Two smart enterprising "boys," perhaps
twenty-eight and thirty years old, passed
through here last week on their way to Can
ada. At last years prices they were worth
probably 81 400 apiece in the Richmond
market One of our townsmen we are told
collected small sum, and rendered them
so much aid and comfort. Wo hope he
will not be indicted under the provisions
of the Fugitive Slave Law.
The "boys" are safe ere this and were
eonceited enough to think they could stake
care of themselves. ."--Akron Beacon.

He took the ague badly,
Aud It shook him, shook him sorely;
Shook his boots of and his toe-nails;
Shook his teeth out and his hair on;
Shook his coat all in.o tatters,
And his shirt all into ribbons;
shlrtless, eoatless, hairless, toothless,
Minus boots, and minus toe-nAils;
still It shook him, shook him till II
Made him yellow, gaunt and bony;
Shook him till he reached his death-bed;
Shook him till 1t shuffied for him

Having made him as cold as could be,
Shook the earth still down upon him,
And he lies meath his grave-stone,

Ague Cure,
roR THE SPEEDY CURE OF

Intern mittcnt Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical meadache, or BILIOUS
for the VIII ole class OF diseases Originate
ing I'm hillary arrangement, caused by
the Malaria OF Miasmatic Countries
We are enabled here to offer the community
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such a remedy is invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CURE" expels the miasmatic poison of FEVER
AND AGuE from the system, and prevents the de-
velopment of the disease, if taken on the first ap
proach of its premonitory symptoms. tits not only
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity we supply for dollar brings it within the
reach Of every body and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body should
have it and it freely both for cure and protec-
ton. A great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
Of lntermittents is that it contains no Qunne
or mineral, consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu-
ton. Those cured by it are left as healthy as If
| they had never had the disease.
| Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence Of
| the miasmatic poison. A great variety Of disor-
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
| NeuraL1iG, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blind
ness, Toothache, Eardche, CdtarTh, Asthma, FdI-
pitation, Painful fectiof Of the Spleen, HySter-
| les Pain in the BoioeLs, Cole, Paralysis and De-
rq,,qement of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the intermittent
type, or become periodical. This " CURE" expels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t is an invaluable protection tc
! immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken occa
sionally or daily while exposed to the infection
that will be excreted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to rpen into dis
| ease. Hence it is even more valuable for protec'
ton than cure, and few will ever suffer from Inter
mittents if they avail themselves of the protection
this remedy affords.
