Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is o constitutional disease, corruption Of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation. it
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 faint 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 venereal infection. What.
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending I" from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation; indeed.
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, IL
viii visit the iniquitics Of the fathers upon
their Gladden.
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood OF corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs. liver, and internal organs. is termed
tuberc!es; IN the glands, swe,lings; and on
the surface. cruptions or sores. This foul cor
rup;ion, which gcnders i'll the blood, dcprcsses
The energies Of lie, so that scro.uous consii;u-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants. but they have Car less power to with
stand the attacks of otic. diseases: consc-
qucntly vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous i'll their nature.
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
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, aE.sc from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarteE Of all our people are scrofslous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined By it.

SADLY TRUE.-Three gentleman from
the Southern part of the Territory, ono
hundred and fifty miles from this place,
WHO had been to Atchison for proyi.
sions, were caught in the heavy snow
storm on Tuesday. and compelled to
.'lay BY" because their cattle could
travel no farther in the snow. Their
statement is truely sad one. They
had then been eighteen days from home.
One Of them had his little daughter
with him. and left the balance of his
family, with a very little provision to
subsist upon till he should return. An
other had left his family in about the
same condition. The third had left a
wife and ten children. with only twenty
pounds Of flour and one bushel of corn
TO live on while lie would go to and
return from Atchison for some proyi-
siOns. Those men can not possibly ge,
home under twenty eight or thirty days
from the time they started away, and in |
case Of high waters from the melting of |
the snow, of continued stormy wealth,
er, they may be detained week or ten
days longer than tina. time. These men
were here without money; and We are
glad TO say that our citizens have re-
sponded TO their necessities to the bes,
OF their ability, by giving them money,
shelter and something to eat. and pro-
rinder for their cattle This storm has
been hard stroke on the poor of Kan
sas. May the calamity soon be averted.
