Salaries in the Sixteenth Century.

The stipend of John Knox was 400 marks
"A sum which has been represented us
very paitry, and which will appear soon to
all who estimate the Scotch shilling as
equivalent to an English penny. Accord
ing to this valuation, Knox's salary would
be in sterling money f22 As sd. But the
fact is that at this time the Scottish coinage
had not dopreciatoG so much in value. vi.
timateiy the Scotch money fell to about a
twelfth part OF the valuo OF the sterling coin,
so that pound of one was worth no more
than Is 8d of tho other. But at the time
We speak of the Scottish money, ia its
downward fall, had reached only half way
to This its lowest deep, and 400 merks were
equal to E44 8s l0d of sterling coin. II
We compare this sum either with the price
OF provisions, or with the salaries paid to
other important functionaries, we shall find
that Knox had no reason to complain of his
treatment. Comparing it with the prices
OF grain, Principal Leo, states that KnOx,s
salary was equivalent TO stipend OF Ii
ehalders. which is above tho average Of
benefces in Scotland. At about tho sam,
time Bordeaux was sold in Scotland fo
about 50s sterling, the tun. In Englanl
the samo price for hogshead of GascoI
wine was considered an enormous charge
and Malmsey vino was sold for 4d quart
1t appears that in Scotland tho price o
sheep was Is Sd sterling, and butter solC
for led tho stone. Taking all things int
account, it appears that G44 in tho middl
OF the 10th century is very nearly equiva
lent to f600 in the middle of the 10Th. |
We take tho comparison from a difTeren
point OF view, placing Knox's omolumont
beside those of other public men, it will ais
be found that no was exceedingly we'll pal,
Tho judges of the court of sessioe in thos
days had smaller salaries than Knox, eac
being entitled to a little moro than G3
sterling. In l545 tho chief justice of th
kings bench in England had salary q
E70. At the accession of Henry oach Baro
OF the Exchequor had but 946 l3s 4d.-
Roger Ascham. as Latin secretary TO quee
Mary, had salary OF E2o.

MEDICAL.
Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is n constitutional disease, n corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes yitiutcd,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation it
pcrvades the whole body, and inny 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 vnrously
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 vcncrcal infection. What-
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stituton, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who snys, 81
will visit the iniquities Of the fathers upon
their children"
It's effects commence by dcpo ition from the
blood of corrupt or ulerruus matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tuberclcs; in the glands, swcllings; and on
the surface, cruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which gcndcrs in the blood, deprcsses
the energies Of life, so that scrofulous consttu-
tions not only suffer from scrOfulous COM
plants, but they have far less power TO witlI-
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
qucntly vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous III their nature,
nre still rendered fatal by this tnint 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, arise from or
are 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
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply III
