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 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, "I
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 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 or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fection, 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

In about an hour the grass caught FIRE, and thu
clouds Of smoke shut out the opposing armie
from view. We had not as yet lost man from
our regiment. In the obscurity the enemy
changed their line, and the eighteen-p Founders
supported by our regiment, took new position
on little rise of ground. As we moved on tc
the spot, a six pound shot carried away the

we slept, however, but little, thinking we might
be attacked in our sleep.
The enemy had been very severely handled,
owing to the superiority Of our artillery. The
gunners went into it more like butchers than
military men; each stripped off his coat, rolled
up his sleeves, and tied his suspenders around
bis waist; they all wore red flannel shirts, and,
therefore, were in uniform. To see them lin

History OF the Stars and stripes.
BY ALFRED b. STREET.

The most interesting incident connected with
the battle Of Saratoga was the unfurling for the
first time the Stars and Stripes at the surrender
Of Burgoyne.
Bunker Hill was fought under red flag bear
ing the motto "Come If you dare" but on the
l4th of June, 1777, the Continental Congress
States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and
white on q blue field, representing new con-
stellation." This was made public on the Sd Of
September following. Previous 10 this our ma
tonal banner was the Union Flag, combining
the crosses OF st. George and st. Andrew (taken
from the English banner) with thirteen stripes
alternate red and white. The banner of st.
Patrick ureland's emblem) was not combined
with the crosses Of st. George and st. Andrew
In the standard OF Great Britain until 1901, the
year Of the union with Ireland.
The stars Of the new flag represented the
new constellation Of states, the idea taken from
the constellation Lyra, which signifies harmony
The blue Of the field was taken from the Cove
nanters' banner in Scotland, likewise significant
OF the league and covenant Of the United Colo
MES against oppression, and incidentally involv
ing vigilance. perseverance, and justice. Tht
stare were disposed in circle, symbolizing th,
perpetuity Of the Union, the circle being th,
sign Of eternity. The thirteen stripes showed
with the stars, the number Of the United Colo
MES, and denoted the subordnation of III
States to and their dependence upon the Union
as well as equality among themselves. Th
whole was blending Of the various flags pre-
vious to the Union flag, viz the red flags Q
the army and white ones of the floating batter
ies-the germ Of our navy. Thered color, also
which in Roman days was the signal Of defiance

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 3crofula, but also those other affec-
tions which arise from it, such as ERUPTIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHoNY's FIRE,
ROSE, or ERYsIPELAs, PMPLEs, PUsTULEs,
BLoTcHEs, BLAINs and Bons, TUMoRs, letter
and SALT RHEuM, ScALD HEAD, RINGwoRM,
RHEUMATISM, SYpHnITIc and MERcURIAL Dis
EASES, DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITIA-
TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in inppity ofhe blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. 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.

Now military Tactics.

In the olden times, the solid columns and the
desperate charge generally won the battle; but
light, active troops, spread over an extended
field with good rifles, could soon slaughter the
best drilled columns in the world, armed With
smooth-bored muskets and handled 10 the old
fashioned pasteboard style. Modern tactics re.
quire more extended field for mannuvering; /;
hence greater care is necessary In handling the
soldiers, and intelligence on the part Of the SOL
diers s necessary for taking up proper positions,
to save themselves and harsss the enemy to the
greatest advantage. Formerly the position Of
an army could be approached within 300 yards
without experiencing injury from infantry fre.
With the modern rifles they could not approach
nearer than 1000 yards. Cavalry must now
keep at respectable distance until they can dash
in under cover Of the smoke, CT be preceded
with riaemen and artillery.-Seientjfc Anai-

Ague Cure,
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF

FOX TIE SPEEDY CURE OF
intermittent Fever, or Fever and ARue,
hemttsnr hema pr;o%scs' %sver' Gnia Fever p,, Dumb
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
Cor the whole class OF diseases Originat-
Ing In hillary dcrnngemcnt, caused by
the Malaria of Miasmatic Countries. 4
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
"CURB" 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. tits not only
the best remedy ever 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 AND AGUE prevails, every body should
have it and use it freely both for cure and protec
ton. great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Intermttents is that it contains no Quinne
or mineral consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the consttu
ton. Those cured by it are left as healthy as il
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence Of
the miasmatic poison. A great variety of disor-
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blind
ness, Ioothache, Earache, Cdtd,Th, Asthma, Pal
pitation, Painful affection ofMe Spleen, Hyster-
ics, Pain in the BoioeLS, Colo, Paralysis and De-
rangen,ent of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the Intermittent
type, or become periodical. This CURE expes
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t is an invaluable protection TO
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken occa
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.
