AYERS
COmpOnnd Extract Of Sarsapari!!a,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bhed 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 Scroiula, hut also those other afiec-
tons which arise from it, such as EnuPTlvE
and SKIN DISEASES, Sr. ANTuoNY's FmE,
RosE, or ERysIpELAs, PMrLRs, pusruLEs,
BLoTcmEs. BLAINs and BoILs, TUMoRs, TETrER

RnEuMATIsM, SYrnIILTIc and MERcUnIM Dis
EASES, DnorSY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL CoMrLAiNrs ARISING FROM VITA
TED OF MPgnE BLOOD. The popular belief
in ibpmity ofMe JiOod" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is u degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue Of this Sarsapa-
rla is to purify and regencrate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible III
contaminated constitutions.

Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is a constitutional disease, q corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor Being in the circulation, it
peryades the whole body, and may burst ou.
in disease on any part of il. 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 vcnereal infection. What
ever be its origin it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generatiOni" indeed,
It seems to be the rod OF Him who says, al
will visit the iniquities Of the fathers upon
their children"
It's effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulccrous 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-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous conf
plants, but they have fur 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 taint III 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
fecton, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse 1t from the system we must renOvatc
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in-
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine VIC supply in
