scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is a constitutional disease, corruption Of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiatcd,
weak, and poor. Being in tile circulation, it
peryades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease OH any part Of il. No organ Is FREQ
from its attacks, nor il there one which it may
not destroy. The scroful0ns taint is yariously
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 vrncrcal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary i'll the con-
stitution, descending 4" from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation; indeed,
it seems to be the rod Of Him who says, III
will visit the iniquitics Of the fathers upon
their children"
It's effects commence by deposition from the
hood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs; liver, and internal organs is termed
tubcrclcs; in the glands, swcllings; and on
the surfncc, eYuphons or sores. This foul cor
ruption which gcnders in the blood, depresses
the ciicrgics of lilc so that scroilous constitu-
tons not only sulfer from scrofulous COM
! plants, but they have fur less power to with
| stand tho attacks Of other diseases; consc-
| Glently vast numbers perish by disorders
| which, although not scrofulous IN 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 scrofillous contamination ! and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, Of al the organs, arise from or
arc aggravated by the Same cause. s1 h'.
One quarter of all .our people are scrofulous;
their person, arc invaded by this lurking in
! fccton, and their health is undermined by it.
| 10 cleanse it from the system we must renoyate
III blood by an Alternative medicine, and in-
Vi rate II by healthy food anu exercise.

Ccmpallnd Extract Of Sarsapari!la,

the most clrecttai remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing aud fatal malady. 1t Is COM
bincd from the most active rcmcdials that have
been discovered for the cxpurgatiOn Of this foul
disorder from the bleod, and the rescue OF the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should he employed for the cure Of
not only Scroiulu, but also those other affec-
tons which arise from it. such as EnuPrIvR
and SKIN DISEASES, Sr. AHTnoNY's FIRE,
RosE, or ERvsIrELGs, PlMTEs, PUsTuLrs,

EASES, DnorsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEnILIrY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS AmsiNG PROM VITA
TED or IMrrRB DLooD. The popular belief
in "i1phri,y ofMc blood" is founded in truth,
for scroinla is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue Of this Sarsapa-
rila is to purify and rcgenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
con illuminated constitutions.
