from his eye flashes the power to light up
his placid and stern features, and his So

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill Of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal nalady. 1t is COM
bined from the most active remedinls that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.

A very curious law case was recently
before German court arising from the
following circumstances:
"A gentleman sat at o faro table in the

eral plays were made, and the cards which
the gentleman continued unchanged to

after several more accumula,ions had

the playeratoek no notice Of the request.

incommode the other players!', said the
croupier. The same motionless silence.
A person sitting next the offender took
hold Of his hand The winner was dead.
As the body was being removed, the
croupier drew back the money he had
showed toward the dead body, alleging
that the game based upon reciprocal en-.
gagements could not exist between the
dead and the living. The heirs Of The
defunct presented themselves the day af

The question was carried before the tribu

Scrofula, or Kings Evil.

Is constitutional disease, 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 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, il 10 hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending s from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation; indeed.
IL seems to be the rod of Him who says, 81

It's 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
xuption, which genders in the blood, depresses
tbs 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 in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs. arise from or

One quarter of all our people are scrofulous; /;
