the most efectual 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 oaly Scrofula, but also those other affec-
tons which arise from it, such as ERurTIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, Sr. ANrHoSY's FIRE,
ROSE, or ERYsIrELAs, PIMrLEs, PUsTrLEs,

RHEUMATISM, SYrnILIrIC and MEncrRrAL Dis

indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM NITIA-
TED OR IMPURE BLoop. The popular belief
in " in,pm'ity Of the blood" is founded i'll truth,
for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rila is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

~Tbe National InteU;oencer

HThe National Lntelzigencer says
the Richmond Enquirer of 1914 held a
very different style of language from the
Richmond Enquirer of the present day in
discussing the "right of secession" as will
be seen in the following paragraph con-
tanned in that journal in the year 1914:
"No man, no association of men, no
State or set of States has right to with
draw itself from this Union of its own ac.
count. The same power which knit us to-
gether can unknit. The same formality
which formed the links of the Union is
necessary to dissolve it. The majority of
the States which formed the Union must
consent to the withdrawal of any one
branch of it. Until that consent has been
obtained, any attemptto dissolve the Un-
Ion or distract the efficacy of its cons;itu-
tlonal law is treason-treason in all intents
and purposes.

The RESULT IN THIS SrArE.-It is ru-

an intense, and we feel almost inclined to
add, unscrupulous Breckenridge man, refu-
ses to send after the returns from the diff
ferent counties that have not sent in their
official returns, although bis oath of office
requires him to do so. If he fails to dis
charge his duty, or by connivance throws
the vote of this State for Bell, for the pur-
pose of saving his Breckenridge friends,
who have made large bets that Douglas
would not carry Missouri-we say if he
has done so, perjured himself by violating
his oath of office, he had better have his
neck insured before he again visits St. Lou

ScrOfula, or Kings Evil.

is a constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes yitiated.
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation. il
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 NAV
not destroy. The scrofulous taint 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,
1t seems to be the rod of Him who says, 81
will visit the iniquities 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
ruption, which gcnders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu-
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 scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
cimates 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
fection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine. and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine We supply III

A Err
Ague Cure,
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF


Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
ARue, Periodical Headache, Bilious
Headache. and Bilious Fevers, indeed
for the vh oil class of diseases Originate
ing in 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 remedy is invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CURE" expels the mlasmatic poison of FEVER
AND AGUE from the SYSTEM and prevents the de-
velopment of the disease, if taken the first ap-
lroach of its premonitory symptoms. Its 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 use it freely both for cure and protec-
tion. A great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure OF lntermtents is that it contains no Qninine
or mineral, consequently it produces no quinisIn or
other injurious effects whatever upon the consttu-
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 dIser-
ders arise from It's irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Cont, Headache, Blind
ness, Ioofhache, EIrache, Catnrrh, asthma, I'dl-
pitation, Painful ifcctiOn Of the Spleen, Hyster-
irs, Pain in tie Bo1ctGs, Cohc Paralysis and De-
rangen,ent Of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause. put 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 10
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarous 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 ripen 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.
