Scrofula, Or Kings Evil,

is constitutional disease, n corruption Of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vi;iated
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst ont in
disease on any part of it. No organ ID free from
its attacks, nor is there one which it NAV not
destroy. The scrofulous taint is yariously cauGed
by mercurial disease, low living, diSordered or
unhealthy food impure air, filth, and filthy
habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by
the venereal infection. Whatever be its origin
it is hereditary in the constitution, descending
+" from parents TO children unto the third and
fourth generation;" indeed, it seems TO Ee the
rod of Him who says, will visit the iniquities
of the fathers upon their children"
lis 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, swcllinGs and on tie
surface, eruptions or sores. This foul corrup-
ton, which genders i'll the blood dcpresses the
energies of life, so that scrofulous constitutions
not only suffer from scrofulous complaints, but
they have far less power to withstand the attacks
of other diseases: consequently, vast numbers
perish by disorders which, although not scro.u-
lous in their nature are still rendered fatal by
this taint in the system. Most of the consu1np-
ton which decimates the human family has Its
origin directly in this scrofulous contamination
and many destructive diseases Of tic liver, kid
neys, 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 infcc-
lion, and their health is undermined by it. To
cleanse it from the system we must renOyate the
blood by an Alternative medicine, and invigorate
it by healthy food and exercise. Such medi-
cine we supply in

Compound Extract Of SarSapaFilla

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this everywhere
prevailing and fatal ma!ady. 1t is combined
from the most active reInedials that have been
discovered for the expurgation of this foul dsor-
der from the blood, and the rescue Of the sys-
TEN from its destructive consequences. Hence
it should be employed for the cure of not only
scrofula, but also those other affections which
arise from it, such as ERUPTIvE and SKIN Dis
EASES, ST. ANTHoNY's FIRE, ROSE, or cry
sIrELAs, PIMPLEs, PUsTULEs, BLoTCHEs,
BLAINs and BoILs, TUMoRs, letter, and
SALT RHEUM, SCALD HEAD, RINGwoRM,
RHEUMATISM, SYPHILITIC and MERCURIAL
DISEASES, DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY,
and, indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM
VITIATED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular
belief in "imp,uity Of the blood" is founded in
truth, for scrofua is a degeneration of the blood
The particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsa-
parilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.
