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 expurgaton 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 Scrofula. but also those other affec-
tons which arise from it, such as ERurrIvB
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANrHoNY's FIRB,
RosB, or ERYslrELAs, PlMrLrs, PusrvLss,

indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING PROM VITA
TED OR IMpuKE BLOOD. The popular belief
in in,p,vity Of the blood" is founded in truth.
for scrofula is a degeneration Of the blood. Tho
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
Iilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid.
without which sound health is impossible II
contaminated constitutions.

inE In nili"ry 1Msr.nEement, canned ~
We are enabled here to offer the community
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 FnvIh
AND AGUE from the system, and prevents the do
velopment of the disease, if taken the first aI-
proach Of its premontory symptoms. tits not enly
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
of complaints, but also the cheapest. Tho large
quantity supply for dollar brings it within the
reach Of every body and in bilious districts, whsro
FEVER AND AGuE prevails, every body should
have it and use it freely both for and protso-
ton. 4 great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of lntermittents is that 1t contains no 0n'no
mineral, consequently it produces no qsinisn or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu.
ton. Those cured by it are left rs healthy n II
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 arc
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gsnt, Headache, Blind
ness I0othache, Earachc, C0tarrh, asthma, Pal
pitation, Painful Afection Of the spleen, Hyster-
ics Pain in tie Bosceks, Colo, Paralysis and d.
rangensent Of the Stomach, all Of which, whsa
originating in this cause, put on the Mternitfr,t
type, or become periodical. This "CrRR" expets
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 malarous districts If taken coca
sionally or daily while exposed to the infection.
that will be excreted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into dis
ease. Hence it is even more valuable for protec-
ton than cure, and few will ever suffer from Inter-
mttents if they avail themselves Of the protection
this remedy affords.

ScrOfula, or Kings Evil

il constitutional disease, q corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiatod,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, 4
pervades the whole body, and may burst oak
in disease on any part of it. No organ is FREQ
from its attacks, nor is there ono which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, Alth
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 1" indeed,
it seems to be the rod Of Him who says, X
will visit the iniQuities of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from tia
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, cruptions or sores. This foul cer-
ruption, which gendcrs in the blood, dcpressss
the energies of life so that scrofulous constitx.
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 faint 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 the organs, arise from OK
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 is undermined by it.
10 cleanse it from the system we must renovato
the blood by an Alternative medicine. and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in

has the accounts but if the Judge will nos
settle with him, he ' ill balance all his books

We would therefore recommend your Hon.

fer you to report of committee on said Clerks

Ne would say to your Honorable Body that
the accounts for 1856 were kept by the Re-
corder on unbound paper, u portion of which
is undoubtedly mislad. We therefore rec.
