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 Scrofula. but also those other afFec-
lions which arise from it, such as ERuPTivE
and SKIN DISEASES, ST.. ANTnoNY's FIRE,
RosE, or E%nYspELAs, PIMPLEs, PUsTuLEs,

indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING PROM VITA
TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in "impmity ofhe blood" is founded i'll truth,
for s~crofulR is a degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue Of this Sarsapa-
rilla is to purify and rcgonerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

Our Advice, to all who are in any way
troubled with Erysipelas, Canker, Salt Rheum
S~crofula, or other forms of humor, is to use
Dr. s. A. Weaver's Justly celebrated and new.
sr failing remedies for these complaints. We
have no doubt that at least half the chronic
complaints in existence have their origin in
some form Of a humor, which only needs ia
be eradicated from the system, to save them
from an untimely grave. We are Glad that
Dr.. Weaver has turned his attention to lthis
class of diseases, which have been SO onua
neglected, and which have so rapidly in
creased in almost all parts ofthe world. The
thousands who have already been cured, are
but SO many living certificates, appealing to
differing humanity, and attesting the worth
Of a truly valuable discovery.

ScrOfuia, or Kings hVll,

.
is q 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, md 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 faint ia variously
caused by mcrcurial 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 i'll the con-
s%titution, descending - from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation /" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, 81
will visit the iniquities Of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects IN by deposition from the
blood OF corrupt or UlcerOus matter, which, i'll
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tuscrcles; i'll the glands, swellingS; and on
the surface, cruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which gcndcrs in the blood, dcpresscs
the energies Of life, so that scrofulous c%onstitu-
tons not only sulTsr 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 s%crofulous i'll their nature,
arc still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most Of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
III this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
arc aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their 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
yigorate it by healthy food and exercise.

Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
for the whole clRSs OF diseases Originate
ing In hillary arrangement, caused by
the Malaria Of Countries.
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 a remedy is invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CURE" expels the miasmatic poison Of FEVER
AND AGuE from the system, and prevents the de-
yelopment of the disease, il taken on the first ap-
proach OF its premOnitory symptoms. Iii not only
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
Of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity we supply for a dollar brings it within the
reach of every body and in bilious districts, where
FEVER y AGuE prevails, every body should
have it and use it freely both for cure and protec-
ton. Agreat superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure Of 1ntermittents is that it contains ne Quin:
or mineral, consequently it produces 20 ouip; me
other injurious effects whatever upsn the SIN or
ton. Those cured by it are left as : SonstltGr
they had never had the discs sc. Aeaithy as II

nr;a;r 1t Of tho Stomach, all of which, when
SSrrS" .ating in this cause, put on the intermittent
" re, or become periodical. This "CURE" expels
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 excroted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into dis
ease. Hence 1t 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.
