thing beyond this. At the base Of all his ease

is the same spirit which lies at the root Of every
Christian virtue. 1t is the thoughtful desire Of
doing in every instance to others as he would

to others for the mere sense of pleasing but how
he can show them respect how he may avoid
hurting their feelings. When heis in society he
scrupulously ascertains the position of every one

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this everywhere
prevailing and fatal maiady 1t is combined
from the most active remedials that have been
discovered for the expurgation Of this foul disor'
der from the blood, and the rescue of the sys
TEN from It's 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

belief in "imppity of the blood, is founded in
