weak. and poor. Being in the circulation, it
peryades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part Of 1t. No organ Is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which 1t may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, hlth

above ali. by the ~venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-

quently vast numbers perish by disorders

climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofufous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
