Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

il a constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated
weak, and poor Being in the circulation, it
pervadcs tho whole body, and may burst out
III disease aAy part of Ii. No organ is free
from It's attacks. nor is there one which II may
not destroy The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mercurinl 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, ii Is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending ;. from parents TO children
unto the thlrd and fourth generation = indeed.
il seems to be the rod of Him who says. II
Will visit the iniquities Of the fathers upon
their Children
It's effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which. in
tAe lungs, liver, and internal organs. is termed
tubereles: III the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, ernptoiis or sores. This foul cor
ruptlon, nAlch genders III the blood, depresses
tie energies of life. that scrofulous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofalous COM
paints, but they have far less power 10 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 tant in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
cnntcs the human family has ITS origin directly
III this scrotulous 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 arc invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health il undermined hy it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renoyate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
Nirorate id by healthy food and exercise
Such medicine we supply In
