CHICAGO WITHOUT PoLICE.-The en-
tire police force Of Chicago was discharged by
Mayor Wentworth on Tuesday morning last.
The Times says:
Doubtless the Mayor had various reasons for
taking such step, the most apparent Of which
was to render IL out Of the power Of the Com
missioners 10 use the old force as temporary
drill III as,ers, and then dismiss them. The act
Incorporating the Police Commissioner Board
permit. the Board to retain such Of the pres
ent police .orce as they may deem expeaient,
giving them the power, at any time, to dis
charge them. But the same act provides that
all policemen appointed by the Board shall
hold such appointment during good behavior.
Hence. If the Commissioners need the experi,
encs of any Of the members Of the old force,
they must grant them sll the privileges of new
msraber.. In our opinion the Mayor was right
in thus looking to the interests Of those men
who have served thssPrblie 50 long and 50

SCrOfula, or Kings Evil.

isl 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 nercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered on unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and hlthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all hy the venereal infection. What
ever be Its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stltutlon, 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 commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulcereus 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
rupton, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies OF llte SO that scrofulous constitu-
ions 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
winch, 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 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
lection, ana 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
