ScrOfula, or Kings Evil.

is constitutional disease, corruption pf the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in 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 scrofalous 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, it is hereditary in the con-
sttution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, ~
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 internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor.
ruption, which genders 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
system. Most of the consumption which de-.
climates the human family has its origin directly
III 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 i'm
fiction, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse 1t from the system we must renovnte
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
yigoratc it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in

E. M. WELLS GREAT WESTERN
Vegetable Anti-BiliOus Pills.

For the cure of all bilious diseases, impuri
ties of blood, indigestion, liver complaint, sick
headache, fevers, colds. jaundice, dyspepsia, fe-
male complaints, and a general cathartic.
In the treatment of bilious fever, jaundice,
and all other diseases of the alimentary canal
or general health, which is caused by an aifec
ton of the liver or portal circle, these pills arc
invaluable.
For jaundice, take one or two pills every
night. Should there be loss of appetite, or
general debility or languor, use the bitters un-
til these symptoms are removed.
These pills may be taken in all cases where
an aperient alternative or cathartic is required.
Dyspepsia and liver complaint with all their
attendant evils, can positively be cured by
persevering use of these pills in connection
with the bitters. When cough exists in con-
nection with any disease for which these pills
are recommended, take the Pectoral Syrup of
Wild Cherry, prepared by the proprietor and
the patient will be thoroughly and radically
cured. These pills being of vegetable origin.
no injurious effects will be produced under any
circumstances by their use Adults or chill
dren can take them constantly when required
The dose for child three or four years old,
from one to two pills; and for children eight
or nine years old, from two to three pills at
bedtime.
Females will find these pills very mild and
uniform in their operations, and the very med
icine needed by large class of females.
Let all remember that the Great Western
Pills are designed expressly for use in bilious
climates. and are far better than those put W
in the east, where little is known in regaru 70
the peculiar diseases of the climate.

THIS valuable remedy prepared with great
l. care and on correct chemical principles,
and has gained for itself great reputation
No injurious effects will be produced, should
the patient be ever SO much reduced. An
over dose will cause nausea and sometimes
vomiting, but will produce no other unpleas
ant result.
Patients should avoid taking too large dos
es, as in most cases it has better effect by ia
king dose that will rest well on the stomach.
The precise dose for each individual patient,
or the number of times to be taken during the
day, will depend very much upon the temper
ament of the patient. As q general thing, the
patient should commence with a small dose,
increasing in amount until nausea or depres-
sion is produced, then continue in slightly di-
minished doses until the desired effect is pro-
duced. ..
