Scrofula. or Kings Evil,

Is q constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, II
pervades tho whole body, and may bttrst out
in disease on any pnrt Of II No organ Is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which It may
not destroy. The scroitilous 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 venerem infection. What
ever bc its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed,
1t seems to be the rod of Him who says, {"
will visit the iniquities Of the fathers upon
their children" ~
It's effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tuberclos; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, cruptions or sores. This foul cor
.uption, which gcnders IN the blood, deprcsses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu-
tions not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks Of other diseases; conse-
qucntly vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scroflous in their nature,
arc still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of tile 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 OF
arc aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter Of all our people are scrofulous
their persons are invaded by this lurking in.
fection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovat.
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in.
vigoratc it by healthy food and exercise

Compound Extract Of Sarsaparilh

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bincd 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 ERuPTIvH
and SKIN DISEASES, ST.. ANTHoNY's FinE,

TED or IMPURE BLooD. Tie popular belief
in "iopuity file 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. ..r-t -

gn
By mulc',iag the inexperienced reader
will understand that we. mean the placing OF
leaves, straw, refuse hay, grass, or other
material upon the surface OF the soil, around
the base of fruit trees, and various other
plants: We hope every reader Of the Agri-
culturist will look into the benefits of this
process II is possible, doubtless, to over
rate the importance of the practice, but there
is little danger oft. To our view, it is one
Of the most useful processes in orchard and
garden culture. Ofcourse, it is not to be
employed without regard to time and season.
It's value appears chiefly in times of drouth,
preserving a healthful moisture of the sur
face Of the soil. II also saves hoe-labor in
keeping down weeds and scarifying the earth
about trees and plants boon IN .
Ha fruit-garden is not carefully titled in
midsummer, the ground becomes hard and
dry, and an army of weeds invade it, which
by the evaporation from their leaves pump
the soil still drier than it would be II bare OF
vegetation. But cover the ground between
and around the trees with a few inches thick
OF forest-eaves, or straw, or tan-bark, and
the soil will continue moist, and few weeds
will appear. The trees, too, will make a
better growth. ,,.,r
Yet mulching should be applied with some
care and discrimination. For instances it
should seldom be used in early Summer, ex-
cept in the case Of newly planted trees. :
From April to June, It would be better to
keep the soil clean and loose with the cultl-
vator and hoe tor, II covered earlier, 1t
would keep out the genial heat of the sun,
and SO retard the growth OF both leaves and
roots. Wait until the ground gets well
warmed and viylicd, until the manures have
peen wei worked INTO the SOL by the hoe,
early Summer seem Insufficient to Keep the
ground properly MOST then put on the
blanket OF leaves or straw, or refuse hay,
or cut weeds 80 treated, 1t will matter
little whether 1t rain, or not for several
weeks az a ulhe, Tor the mulch WIN arrest

We arc enabled here to offer the community a
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with CO. tainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity Such remedy is Invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CrRg" exprls the miasmatc poison Of FEVER

yelopment of the disease, if taken on the first ap-
prUach Of its prcmonitory symptoms. Itisnot only
The best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
Of complaints, but also tho cheapest. The large
quantity we supply for Il dollar brings it within the
reach OF every body; and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AuuE prevails, every body should
have it and it freely both for cure and protec-
ton. a great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for The speedy and certain
cure Of ntcrmitents is that it contains no Qninine
or mineral, consequently produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu-
ton. These cured by it are left us healthy as If
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Agne is not alone the consequence OF
the miasmatic poison. A great variety Of disor-
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, rheumatism, Cont, Headache, Blind
