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, It
peryades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from It's attacks, nor is there one which it may
not DESTROY. The scrofulous faint 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, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending /" 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"
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-
tons 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
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 cur 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 medicine we supply in ttes ~

W"My wife tells the truth three
times a day." remarked a jocose old
fellow at the same time casting a very
mischievous glance at her. "Before
rising in the morning, she says: 'Oh
dear, l must get up, but don't want
to- After breakfast she adds-sW ell,
/ suppose | must go to work, but don't
want to : and she goes to bed, saying
There I've been fussing all day and
havn't done anything" :

~HEApAcHE is the favorite sign by which ma
ture makes known any deviation whatever from the
natural state of the brain, and viewed in this light
it may be looked on as safeguard intened to give
notice of disease which might otherwise escape
attention. till too late to be remedied; and its indI
cations should never be neglected. Headaches
may be classified under two names. viz: Sympto-
matte and Idiopathic. Symptomatic headache is
exceedingly common and is the precursor of a
great variety of diseases, among which are Apo
plexy, Gout, rheumatism, and all febrile diseases
In its nervous form it is sympathetic of the disease
of the stomach constituting SICK headache of hepa-
tic disease constituting bilious headache of wor1ns
constipation and other disorders of the bowels as
we'll as renal and uterine affections. Diseases of
the heart are very frequently attended with head
aches; An&mia and plethora are also affections
which frequently occasion headache. Idiopathic
headache is also very common, being usually dis
tinguished by the name of nervous headache, some
times coming on suddenly in state of apparently
sound health and prostrating at once the mental
and physical energies, and in other instances it
comes on slowly, heralded by depression of spirits
or acerbity of temper In most Instances the pain
is in the front of the head over one or both eyes,
and sometimes provoking vomiting under this
class may also be named Neuralgia.
For the treatment of either class of headache the
Cephalic Pills have been found sure and safe re-
medy, relieving the most acute pains in few min
utes and by its subtle power Graduating the disea-

From the Neac England Farmer
whose editor has in answer to inquiries,
gathered them from various sources,
we copy the following modes for the
benefit of our readers:
16 OTIS. of salt, and OF of saltpetre,
for each 100 lbs. beef.
Rub the pieces all over with salt, and
pack it in edgewise, and after layer
is completed, take an axe or maui and
pound down solid. Then sprinkle on
little saltpetre and I'll up all inter-
stices with salt, and so on until the cask
is full. Those who do not like salt
petre may omit it without injury to the
meat. ~
Mr.. A Wanzer, who communicated
this recipe to the Albany Caltiuator,
says he has sailed his beef in this way
for fifteen years, that it needs no soak
ing before boiling, and will be tender
and sweet the year around. BY this
way of sailing, it makes its own brine,
and never wants repacking, nor the
brine scalding. If the brine should
not cover it in the spring, sufficient may
be added for that purpose.
Take barrel and turn it over an old
pan or kettle, and burn cobs or hard
wood for seven or eight days, keeping
water on the head of the barrel to pre-
vent its drying. -.-,..-[-
Make a pickle as follows: -
Coz. of saltpetre, OTIS. of molasses,
gallons Of water, for each 100 lbs. OF
ham.
Boil and skim the pickle thus pre-
pared. Pack the ham in the barrels,
and when the pickle is cold pour it on
to the meat, and in four weeks it will
be excellent, very tender and well
smoked.
Another,-Make pickle as follows
5 pts. of molasses, 5 OF. of saltpetre.
and gallons of water, for each 100
pounds of beef or ham.
Boil those over a gentle fire, and skim
eff the scum as it rises. Pack hams
with the shank end downward, and
when the pickle is cool pour it over
them or the beet. They win require to
lay in the pickle from two to six weeks
according to the size of the pieces and
the state of the weather-as they re
quire to lay in the pickle longer if thu
weather is cold.

And years are on his shoulders laid
A heavy weight for him.

At cradle and she pillow,
And earned our porridge by the sweat
That trickled down bis brow;
Yet never heard we him complain,
Whats'er lis toll might be,
Nor wanted s'er welcome seat,
Upon his solid knee.
And when our boy-stresgth came. John,
And sturdy grew each limb,
He brought US 70 the yellow field,
To share The toil with him.
But he went foremost IN the swath,
Tossing aside the grain,
Just like the pillow that heaves the soil,
Or ships that clear the main.
Now We must lead the van, John,
Through weather foul and fair,
And let the old man read and dozs,
And tilt his easy chair;

which, while it cures the above complaints with
tainty is still perfectly harmless in any quantity Such
remedy is invaluable in districts where these affecting
disorders prevail This "CURE" expels the miasmatic
poison of FEVER AND AeUE from the system, and pre-
vents the development of the disease, if taken the
first approach of its premonitory symptoms. 1t is
only the best remedy yet discovered for this class of
complaints but also the cheapest The large quantity
supply for dollar brings it within the reach of every
body and in bilious districts, where FEVER AGUE
prevails every body should have it and freely both
for and protection 1t is hoped this price will place
it within the reach of poor well the RICH
great superiority of this remedy any other
discovered for the speedy and certain of Interm
tents is, that it contains Qunine mineral
queny it produces qunism other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution Those cured by it
left healthy if they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence of the
miasmatc poison great variety of disorders arise from
its irritation, among which Neuralgia. Rhcsmatism
Go,a, Headache Blindness, 7ootache Earache Odta,rh
Asthma PdIpitation, Painful Afectim of Ge Spleen,
Mysteries, Pain in the Bo,Ces cbc Paralysis, and De-
rangement Of the onach all of which, when orginat-
ing in this cause, put the intermittent type, become
periodical. This "CURE" expels the poison from the
blood, and consequently them all alike 1t is
invaluable protection to immigrants and persons travel
ling temporarily residing in the maarious Districts
taken occasionally daily while exposed to the infec
ton, that will be excreted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to pen into disease.
Hence it is valuable for protection than cure
and few will suffer from Intermittens if they avail
themselves of the protection this remedy affords.

TWENTY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS SAvED-Mr
Spalding has sold two millions of BOTTLES of hi:
celebrated prepared Glue, and it is estimated tha
each bottle at least ten dollars worth of bro
ken furniture, thus making an aggregate of twenty
millions of dollars reclaimed from total loss by this
valuable invention. Having made his Glue house

greater service by curing all the aching heads with
