blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, il
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
III disease on any part of it, No organ il free
from its attacks, nor IL 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 venereai infection. What
ever be its origin. it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending !" from parents to children
unto the third aid fourth generation :" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, Il
will visit the iniauities of the fathers upon
their children
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or uiccrous matter, which, i'm
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubcrcles; III the glands, swelhngs; and on
the surface. cruptions or sores. This foul cor
rupuon, which gendcrs in the blood, dcpresses
the enalglea Ut 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-
quenty vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous In their nature
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the

One quarter Of all our people are scrofulous !;

We are enabled here to offer the community
remedy which, while il cures the above complaints

quantity Such a remedy is invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This

vnlOpment of tile disease, If taken the tlrst APP
proaeh Of It's premontory symptoms. tits not only
tlle best remedy yet discovered for this class
OF complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity supply for dollar brings Ii within the
reach OF every body and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGrR prevails, every body should
have it and il freely both for cure and protec-
ton. A great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
of Intermtients is that 1t contains no Quirsine
mineral. consequently II produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu-
tion. Those cured by 1t are left healthy If
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague il not alone the consequence Of
the miasmaiic poison. A great variety Of dsor-
ders arise from its irritation. among which are

the poison from the blood. and consequently
them all alike. II is invaluable protection to
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. Htaken
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

this remedy affords.
