Scrofula, or Kings Evil.

is 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 in 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-
stituton, descending +" from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation; indeed,
1t seems to be the rod Of Him who says, 81
viii 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
tuberclcs; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which gcnders i'm the blood depresses
the energies of life, 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
arc 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.
Tocleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
yigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in

We are enabled here TO offer the community
remedy which, while il cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity Such a remedy il invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. i his
'ACuRE" expels the miasmatie poison OF FEVER
And AGUH from the system, and prevents the de-
yefapment of the disease, if taken the first APP
proaehpf Its premonitory symptoms. Tits not only
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
OF complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity we supply for dollar brings it within the
reach OF every body and III bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGuE prevails, every body should
have it and it freely both for and protec-
ton great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
of Intermittents Is that it contains no Qunne
or mineral, consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the consttu-
ton. Those cured by it left healthy If
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague IL not alone the consequence OF
the miasmatic poison. A great variety Of disor-
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheun,atis,n, Cont, Headache, Blind
ness Toothache Earache Cata,yh, -Asthpa IaL-
pitatton, Painful dfection Of the Spleen Hyster-
Es, Pam "a the BoiceLs, Colo, Paralysis and De-
ra,qenaent Of the stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause. put on the Intermittent
fgpe or become periodical. This "CURH" expcls
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. Ii il an invaluable protection to
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing i'm the malarious districts Ii taken occa-
sionally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excrefed from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to rpen into dis
ease. Hence ii is even more valuable for protec-
ton than cure and few will suffer from Inter
mttents ii they avail themselves of the protection
| this remedy affords.

The Defeat at Bulls Run.

With the meagre information before us it is
difficult to say upon whom the blame for the
unfortunate battle of last Sunday should rest.
There has been miSmanagement or treachery
somewhere, or our troops are not the brave
and determined men they have had the credit
for. Probably the reason is that an advance
upon the enemy was made before our army
was properly prepared for it. If so, the cen
sure rests upon those who have for weeks past
urged so persistently and vociferously the
great forward movement upon Richmond y
Our military leaders have been bewildered
by this cry Of impatience so constantly ring
ing in their ears and have probably yielded to
the public wish against their own convictions
of policy. 1t is certain that many of the
troops engaged were but little drilled The
Minnesota regiment, for instance, has been
only about month in the field. We hope
whatever may have been the cause of the de-
feat, that hereafter all will content themselves
to let Gen. Scott make an advance move
ment and attack the enemy when he thinks il
is the proper time.
Our latest dispatches reduce the number Of
killed on our side to between 800 and $780,
This is much more favorable than the first re-
port of our defeat. Still we are chagrined te
learn that our troops fled from the field in 6
panic. The lessons of this battle, we trust
will have beneficial effect. They will only
nerve our people to redoubled efforts, as they
have already in Rhode Island, and make then
more cautious in future.-Daily, oath.
