Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

l. 4 constitutional disease, corruption of the
blood. by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being III the circulation, it
peryades 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 mcrcurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above ali, 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 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 ulcerous matter, which, IN
the lungs, liver, and intcrnalorgans, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders III the blood, depresses
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-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, 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 scrof,lous;
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

FOR THE SPEEDY CURE or

FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague.
Asae, Psriodicai Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
Ing I'm hillary arrangement, caused by
the Malaria of Minsmattc Countries.
We are enabled here to offer the community
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such remedy is Invaluable in districts
"CURE" expels the miasmatic poison of FEVER
AND AeUE from the system, and prevents the de-
velopment of the disease, if taken on the first ap
proach of its premonitory symptoms. tits not only
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity supply for dollar lrings it within the
reach of every body; and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGUE prevails, cgery body should
have it and use it freely both for and protcc-
ton. A great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
of Intermittents is that it contains Qninine
or mineral, consequently 1T produces no quinlsm or
other injurious effects whatever upon the consttu-
ton. Those cured by it are left as healthy as If
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 are
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Cont, Headache, Blind
ness, Ioothache, Earache, Catd,ah, Asthma, Pal
scs, Pain i,s the Bosceas, Cole, Paralysis and De-
rGngen,ent of the Stomach all of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the iaternitfent
type, or become periodical This :" CURE cxpels,
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. It is an invaluable protection to
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarous districts. If taken occa
sionally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to rpen into dis
ease. Hence it is even more valuable for protec-
ton than cure, and few will suffer from Inter.
mittents if they avail themselves of the protection
this remedy affords.
