Compound Extract Of Sarsaparilla,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bined 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 Scrofula, but also those other affec-
tons which arise from it, such as ERurrIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, Sr. ANrHoNY's FIRE,
RosE, or EnYsIPELAs, PMpLEs, PusruLEs,
BLorcHEs, BLA1Ns and BoILs, TuMoRs, TErrKB
and SALT RHEUx, ScALD HEAD, RINcweRN,
RHEUMATISM, SYPHILIrIc and MEncunIAL Dis
EASES, DRopsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILIrY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING PROM VITIA-
TED OR IMPURE Bloom. The popular belief
in "in,p,nity Of the blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration of the bleod. The
particular purpose and virtue Of this Sarsapa-
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible IN
contaminated constitutions. @

Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

il a constitutional disease, corruption Of tha
blood. by which this fluid becomes vifated,
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, Nth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and
above ali, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the CEN
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 iiquities Of the fathers upon
their children" - ,Itt1 %
It's effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, N
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, Is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellngs; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresscs
the energies of Life, so that scrofulous constta-
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 natures
are still rendered fatal by this taint 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 OF
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter Of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
lection, 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

Ague Cure,
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF


Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Aguet
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
ing I'm hillary deransement, caused by
tho Malaria OF Miasmatic Countries.
We are enabled here to offer the community a
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, 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 AGUE from the system, and prevents the de-
velopment of the disease, if taken on the first ap
proach of its premonitory symptoms. Itis 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 in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGuE prevails, every body should
have it and it freely both for cure and proec-
tion. A great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
Of Intermittenis is that it contains no Qunne
or mineral consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constita-
tion Those cured by it are left as healthy as if
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence OF
the miasmatic poison. A great variety of diser-
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Cont, Headache, Blind
ness, 1oothache, Earache, Catayrh, dsthma, Iial-
pitatie,,, Painful 1fecfion OF the Spleen, Hyster-
ics Pain in the Boicels, Colo, Paralysis and De-
rangemeat of The Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the i',tern,iae,t
type, or become periodical. This " CURE cxpels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t is an invaluable protection 10
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarous districts. If taken eeca-
sionally or daily while exposed to the infection.
that will be excreted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to rpen into dis
ease. Hence it is even more valuable for protec-
ton than cure, and few will ever suffer from Inter
mittents if they avail themselves of the protection
this remedy affords.

Sir, when the Congress Of the Uni
ted States assembled here on the 3rd
Of December, 1860, just sevenmonths
ago, the Senate was composed of six
ty-slx Senators, representing the thir-
ty-three Safes of the Union, and
this House of two hundred and thir-
ty-seven members-every State be-
ing present. 1t was Il grand solemn
spectacle: the ambassadors of three
and-thirty sovereignties and of thir-
ty-one millions of people, the might
lest republic on earth in general
Congress assembled. In the Senate,
too, and this House, were some Of
the ablest and most distinguished
men Of the country; men whose
names We're familiar to the whole
country-some of them destined to
pass into history. The new wings
Of the Capitol had been but just re-
Gently finished, in all their gorgeous
magnificence, and, except Il hundred
marines at the navy yard, not a SOL
dier was within forty miles Of Wash
ington.
Sir, the Congress of the United
States meets here again to-day; but
how changed the scene! Instead of
thirty-four States, twenty, three only,
one less than the number forty years
ago. are here, or in the other wing
OF the Capitol. For:y-six Senators
and one hundred and seventy three
Representatives constitute the Con
grcss of the United States. And of
these, eight Senators and twenty-tour
Representatives,, from four States ou-
ly, linger here yet Us deputies from
that great South which, from the be-
ginning of the Government, contrib
uted so much to mould its policy, to
build up its greatness, and to control
its destinies. All the other States of
that South are gone. Twenty-Five
Senators and sixty-fve Representa-
tives no longer answer to their names.
The vacant seats are still here aud
the escutcheons of their respective
States look down now solcmnly and
sadly from these vaulted ceilings
But the Virginia of Washington, and
Henry and Madison, of Marshall and
jefferson, of Randolph and Monroe,
the birthplace OF Clay, the mother
of States and of Presidents: the
Carolinas of Pinckney and Sumter,
and Marion, of Calhoun and Macon !:
and Tennessee, the home and burial
place Of jackson; and other States,
too, once most loyal and true, are no
longer here The voices aud the
footsteps of the great dead of the
past two ages OF the republic lnger
still, it may be, in echo. along the
stately corridors Of this Capitol, but
their descendants from nearly one
half of the States of the republic
will meet with us no more within
these marble halls. But in the park 5
and lawns, and upon the broad aven-
ues of this spacious city. 10000 sol
diers have supplied their places; and
the morning drum-beat from a score
Of eneampments within sight of this
be4eagued capital, give melancholy
warning 10 tHe representatives oi tiit
States and of the people that amid
arms the laws are silent.
Sir, some years hence-I would
fain hope some months hence, If |
dare-the present generatian will de-
mand to know the cause Of all this
and sonic ages hereafter, the grand
and impartial tribunal Of history will
make solemn and dilligent inquiries
of the authors of this terrible revo-
luton.
