military importance of this extreme northeast

upon the country.
1t seemed to be wholly overlooked in tho
readiness with which the nation assented Ia
tn, A-hburton Treaty, which gave to Grea'
Britain all that part OF Maine lying north OF
the st. John. What was then surrendered
was undoubtedly regarded by the country al

when. in truth, it almost discovered what nigh

VOL. VIII. NO. 10. NEW SERIES.
Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is constitutional. disease, q corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
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 taint 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 " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generations" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, 81
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children -...
Its effects commence by deposition from the
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, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruptiOn, which genders 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-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint 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 tiIe liver, kidneys, BRAIN
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from OF
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people arescrofulous
their persons are invaded by this lurking In
fection, 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 in

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-
tons which arise from it, such as RnupTIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHoNY's FIRE,
RosE, or EnYs1PELAs, PMpJEs, PusTuLEs,
BLoTcHEs, BLAINs and BoILs, TUMops, letter
and SALT RHEUM, SoALD HEAD, RINowoRM,
RHEUMATISM, SYrHILITIc and MERcUR1AL DIs-
EASES, DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITIA-
TED OR IMPURE BLooD. The popular belief
in "imp,oity ofMe blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

Who Cots the SteaIings Z

The following extract from a letter written
by one Of the volunteers from Keokuk, to the
Cedar Rapids Times "a Republican paper), ap-
pears to show that TIE anticipated stealings
from the appropriations made by the State Of
Iowa for the benefit of the volunteers, have
already been commenced by somebody some
where. When $6UO is filcbed from the sum
charged to the expenses Of one company, it is
fair to presume that there are great many
Republican Floyds In Iowa quietly pocketing
in advance, the extra sums the people will BY
and by have to pay in heavy taxes No doub
the account in reference to many other State
Agents needs as much sitting as that referred
to in the following extract: ...... -......... +.
