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, 1t
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 varioOsly
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 8. from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation (" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, 81
will visit the ~iniquities of the fathers upon
their children"
It's effects by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, III
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 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-
ouently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature
are still rendered fatal by this faint M tn
system. Most of the consumption which de
climates the human family has its origin dircctl.
in this scrofulous contamination; and man,
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from Q
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous
their persons are invaded by this lurking il
fiction, and their health is undermined 10y |
To cleanse it from the system we must removal
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and il
vigorate it by healthy food and excrcis
Such q medicine we supply in

A SUN PICTURE What a pity children
should ever grow up. The other day, pass
ing through an entry of one of our public
buildings, We saw two little bows. of the
ages of six and eight, with their arms about
each others neck, exchanging kiss after kiss.
1t was such a pretty sight, in that noisy den
OF business, that one could but stop to look.
The younger of the children noticing this.
BOXED up, with a heaven of love in his face.
and said, in explanation, He is ma brother p
Pity they should ever grow up, thought we.
as We passed along. Pity that the world,
with its clashing interests of business, love.
and politics, should ever come between them.
Pity that they should every coldly exchange
finger.tips, or, more wretched still, even ex.
change glances. Pity that one should sor-
row and grieve, and hunger, ana thirst and
yearn for sympathy, while the other should
sleep, and eat, and drink, ~unmindful of his
fate. Pity that one, with meeky folden
hands, should pass into the land of silence,
and no tear of repentance and affection fall
upon his marble face from the eyes of his
brother" Such things have been. Tha,
is Why we thought, pity they should ever
grow up-"HeaVen lieg 50 near as in our in,
fancy"

enterprise and worth. Which will be pros
pared, honored and trusted by his fellows,
and which is in danger Of being carried
down the gloomy ways Of degradation and
vice.
II YOU wish to find lads for servants, ap-
prenticcs, laborers or clerks, who would be
honest and active, and prompt ana faithful,
look for them among the cold water boys. II
you wish to know who are hereafter to oc-
cupy the position of honor, and influence,
and trust in our communities, who are to be
our ministers, lawyers, teachers, Legislators,
Judges and statesmen-who are to be the
men Of greatest integrity and enterprise and
worth in every department Of life, you will
find them among the cold water boys. The
boys who are beginning life with a solemn
pledge never to buy, sell or taste intoxica-
ting liquors of any kind, are the lads who
are the promise and hope of the world. Chris

RECEIPTS FOR MAKING DRUSKARDs.-Let
the child nurse every time it cries, and when
weaned, il is more than half q dyspeptic.-
Now as often as it cries, give it a piece Of
bread aud butter, and at the age of three or
four. il will he a confirmed d~yspeptic. This
constitutes a very important step towards
drunkenness. At this age, thoughtlessly, as
usually is the case, put a quantity Of spice,
cloves, cinnamon, pepper, nutmeg, ginger
and other like condiments into the little boys
~victuals increase the amt as he grows older,
and at the age Of ten or a dozen years, he
will call fgr more. Give him all he can
stand without bringing tears to his eyes too
often; a. the age OF fourteen OF sixteen he
will conclude that the more such stimulus he
can use, the more manly he Is. Pa, and un
Gle, and cousin George, eat a great amount Of
it. Nov If the boy calls for strong tea and
coffee, aud commences the use of tobacco, he
may be considered safe on the road to ruin,
and his mother has nothing more TO do to
bring about, especially IL her son is under the
influence Of some beer saloon, for the next
step is rum, gin, whiskey and brandy.

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
bincd 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-
tons which arise from j. such as ERUPrIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHoNY'S FIRE,
RosE, or ERYsIPELAs, PIMPLEs, PUsTULEs,

RHEUMATISM, SYPHILITIc and MERcUEIAL Dis
EASES, DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed. ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITA
TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in " iapurity of tie blood" is founded in truth,
for s~crofula is a degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rilla is to purify and regeneratc this vital iuid,
without which sound health IS impossible Ii
