Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is a constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
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 taint is variously
caused by mercural 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 i'll the
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation; !" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, ~
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, swelngs; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders i'll tie blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu-
tions 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 i'll 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 or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people ore 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 i'll

AYERS
Compound Extract Of Sarsaparilla,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times 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. ASTIIoNY's FIRE,
RosE, or ERysIrELAs, PMrLEs, PUsTULEs,
BLoTcHEs. BLAINs and BoITs, TuMoRs, letter

RHEUMATISM, SyPHIILrIo and MEncURIALDIs-
EASES. DRopsY, DYsrErsIA, DEBIIlTY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM NITIA-
TED OR IMpURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in imp'uity of fUe blood is founded in truth,
for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rila is to purify and rcgcnerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

Constipation or Cos,iveness.

No one of the nmany ills flesh Is heir to'' is
so prevalent, so little understood, and so much
neglected as Costivensss. Often originating
in carslessness, or sedentary habits; it is re-
garded as q slight disorder of two little con-
sequence to excite anxiety, while in reality it
it is the precursor and companion of many of
the most fatal and dangerous diseases, and
unless early eradicatedit will bring the suffer
er to an untinely grave. Among the lighter
evils of which costiveness is the usual at
tendant are Headache, Collie, rheumatism,
Foul Breath, Piles and others of like nature.
while long train Of frightful diseases such as
Malignant Fevers, Abcesses, Dysentary, Diarr-
hea, Dyspepsia, Apoplexy, Epilepsy, Paralysis,
Hysteria, Hypochondiisis, Melancholy and
Insanity, first indicate their presence in the
system by this alarming symptom. Not un-
frequently the diseases named originate in
Constipation, but take on an independent ex-
istence unless the cause is eradicated in an
early stage. From all these considerations it
follows that the disorder should receive i'm
mediate attention wherever it occurs, and no
person should neglect to get a box of fCephalie
Pills on the first appearance OF the complaint,
as their timely use will expel the insidious
approaches of Disease and destroy this dan
gerous foe to human life.
GREAT DrscovRRY.-Among the most i'm.
important of all the great medical discoveries
of this age may be considered the system OF
vaccination for protection from Small Pox, the
Cephalic Pill for Ielief of Headache, and the
use Of Quinine for the prevention of Fevers,
either of which is a sure specific, whose bene-
ats will be experienced by suffering humanity
long after their discoverers are forgotten.
