An equal and normal circulation OF the blood Is

by stagnation Of the blood in that organ; diseases Of
tie KIdn Us. Inflammation of the Lungs, Disease Of
the Heart, &c by the same cause, viz: Improper Cir
c%ulatiOn; and from the sam cause spring all minor
forms of disease. To discover a certain cure then.
for these diseases, the first great enquiry necessary
is. What causes the blood to circulate
Fer centuries it h as been a matter Of much udy
among scientific and medical men; and while any

make this grand discovery, also.
Acknowledging that life is the gift OF the Creator,
and that 'in Him we live and move and have our be-
ing" we still venture the remark. that as the planets
move in their spheres. and all vegetable life is gov
erned by certain absolute laws, SO animal life is
traceable to a fixed cause, which remove or destroy.
and death, the certain effect, follows.
Analysis of the red corpuseles OF the blood show
them to be compounds of iron, sulphur and ~PhcsPho-
rous.
The air We breathe. we know to contain a very large
proportion Of oxygen
'xygen brought in contact with a metal, evolves or
emits electricity.
Electricity brought in contact with a muscular aber.
causes tito contract.
These facts being iHdisputakle. we have now the So
luton as to the motor or motive power Of TIE heart.
The oxygen in the air We breathe coming in contact
with the iron in the red corpuseles of the blood cnits
electricity. which coming in contact with the heart
causes il to contract. and hence the power VIII ch ex-

.ScrOfula. Or Kings Evil.

is a constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes yitiatcd.
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 nav
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is yariously
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 ~vcnereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
shtution, descending Z" from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation :" indeed.
it seems to be the rod Of Him who saws, al
will visit the iniquitics 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, 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-
items not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks eff other diseases; conse-
qucntly 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
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 are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, 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 a medicine We supply in
