blood by which this huid 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 mercurial disease. low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venereal Infection What
ever be its origin, ii is hereditary in the con-

unto the third and fourth generation; indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, II
win 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 internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, erupnons or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which gcndcrs in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu-
tons 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

We are enabled here to offer the community a
remedy which, while il cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such remedy is invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CURE expels the miasmatic poison OF FEVER
AND AGrR from the system, and prevents the de-
veopment Of the disease If taken on the first ap-
preach of Its premonitory symptoms. Itisno only
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
OF complaints, but also The cheapest. The large
quantity supply for dollar brings II within the
reach of every body and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGuE prevails, every body should
have it and use 1t 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 Intermttents lis that it contains Qninne
or mineral consequently il produces no quinisrn or
other injurious effects whatever upon the consutu
ton. Those cured by il left healthy 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
NeWalqia. Rheumatism, Goa, Headache Blind
ness, Ioofhdche, Earaehe, Gatatrh, Asthma, Pal
pitation, Painful Afeetion Of the Spleen, Hyster-
tcs, Pain in the Botoels, Colo, Paralysis and De
Yangement Of the Stomach, all OF which, when
originating in this cause, put the intermittent
fype, or become periodical. This CURE" expels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t u an Invaluable protection to
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. II taken
sonally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excTeted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity 10 ripen into dis
ease Hence it II even more valuable for protec-
ton than cure and few will ever suffer from Inter-
mittents II they avail themselves Of the protection
this remedy affords.
