Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is a constitutional disease, corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitatcd,
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 toint 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 venercal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary i'll the con-
stituton, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation; indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, "I
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulccrous matter, which, i'll
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubcrcles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, cruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which gcnders in the blood, depresses
the energies Of life, that scrofulous eonstitu-
tions not only suffer from scrofulous conf
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 i'll 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 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 arc scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking ir-
fiction, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must rcnovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in

A Short Story by Dickens.

Dickens tells The following story Of an
American sea captain:
On his last voyage homo tho captain
had on board young lady of remarkable
personal attractions-a phrase uso as bo-
ing ono entirely new, and one you mover
meet ia the newspapers. This young lady
was beloved intensely by five young gertIo-
men, and in turn was in lovo with them all
very ardently, but without any particular
preference for either. Not knowing how
to mako up her determination in this d.
lemma, she consulted my friend tho cap.
tain. The captain being of an original turn
of mind says to the young lady: Jump
overheard. and marry the one who jumps
after you" Tho young lady struck with
the idea, and being naturally fond of bathing
especially in warm weather, as it then was,
took tho advice of the captain. who had n
boat ready manned in case of accident.
Accordingly, tho next morning, the five
lovers being on dock, and looking very do
votedly at tho young lady. she plunged into
tho soa, head foremost. Four of the lovers
Immediately jumped in after her. When
the young lady and hor four lovers were
out again. sho says to the captain, "What
am to do with them now, they are so wet:'
Says the captain, "Take the dry oDe." And
the Young lady did, and married him.

the Malaria of Miasnsatic Countries.
We are enabled here to offer tho community
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such remedy is invaluable in districts
where these afllicting disorders prevail. This
"CURE" eXpels tho miasmatic poison Of FEVER
AND AGUE from the system, and prevents the de-
yelopment of the disease, if taken on the first ap
proach of its premOnitory symptoms. ltis not only
the best remedy yet discovered for this class
of complaints. but also the cheapest. The large
quantity We supply for dollar brings it within the
reach Of every body; and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body should
have it and it freely both for cure and protec-
ton A great superiority Of this remedy over any
other discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Intermittents is that 1t contains no Qunue
or mineral, consequently it produces no quinism
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu-
ton. Those cured by it arc left as healthy as il
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence of
the miasmatic poison. A great variety Of disor-
ders arise from its irritation, among which arc
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blind
