MEDICAL
Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is n constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitated
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, il
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 tant is variousy
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 vcncrenl 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
1t seems to be the rod Of Him who says, Z" l
will visit the iniquitics Of the fathers upon
their children
Its effects commence by deposition from tho
blood of corrupt or ulcerou3 matter, which, III
the lungs, liver and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptons or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which gcnders 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-
qucntly vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in tho
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 tho organs arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are serofulous /;
thOir persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, 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 i'll

FEMALE CURIOSITY TO SEE A BATTLE
A St. Louis correspondent of the Salem
REGISTER, writes as follows, under date ol
May 11th, in relation to the late disturb.
ances, which resulted in bloodshed:
From our own personal observation OF
the affair, we should pronounce the firing
by the soldiers an absolute necessity. II
is painful to think OF women and children
being thus killed /; but until women learn
that a battlefield is no place for them,
they must take their chances. The
movements Of the troops was blocked by
women in the fields and on the road
while every hill top and all the surround
ing honses, were filed by them. 1t was
known that if the arms were not surren.
dered there would be a bastle-and ye
s0omen ,oalked directly into tie lines, ana
had to be driven back al tie point Of Mt
5ayonet. They laughed and talkra a.
though IL auere a holiday sAow, and ever
wondered why their valiant sons, brothers
and husbands, should surrender to such
ga mass Of Dutch" The terrible lessor
Of yesterday may do them good, but W,
fear not, for they were on the street las

COnSumptiYeS.

An equal and normal condition of the blood is
health. An abnormal, that is to say, an excess
i've or deficient circulation or stngnuion of the
blood, is disease. To illustrate -lorpiGity of the
Liver is caused by stngnation OF blood in that or
gan diseases of tho Kidneys, Inflammation of the
Lungs, Disease Of the Heart, &c, by the same
cause, namely! Improper circulotion; and fIom
the same cause spring all minor !orms OF disease.
To discover a certain cure, then, for these diseases
the first great enquiry necessary is, What causes
the blood to eli cuatGl
For centuries it has been matter of much
study among scientific and medical mon; and as
many experiments have been made, aud much
labor expended upon the enquiry, il has been left
to his century among its other wonderful in
crease in knowledge, TO make this grand discov-
cry, also.
Acknowledging that life is the gift of the Crea
tor, and that ''in Hin we live and move and have
our being" we still venture the remark, that as
the planets move in their spheres, and all yegeta
BILE lfn is governed by certain absolute laws, so
animal life is traceabe to n fixed cause, which
removes destroys, and DEATH the certain effect,
follows.
Analysis of the red corpuscles of tile blood shows
them to be compounds of iron, sulphur anG pbos.

The air we breathe, we know to contain very
large proportion OF oxygen.
