scrofula. or King,s Evil.

IS constitutional disease, corruption OF tho
blood, by which this fluid becomes Vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, Il
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. Tho scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mereurial disease, low living, dis.
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, fifth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the vcnereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending 4" from parents to children,
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, al
will visit the iniquites of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from ths
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, iH
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 III the blood, depresseA
the energies of life so that scrofulous constituf
tons not only suffer from scrofulous com
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conses
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in 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, brain5
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from OF
are 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 renovate'
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in-'
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise!
Such medicine we supply i'll .st- e4

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgaton 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-
tions which arise from it, such as ERUPTIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHoNY's FIRB,
RosE, or ERYsIPELAs, PMrIEs, PUsTULEs,
BLorcHEs, BLAINs and BoILs, TUMoRs, letter
and SALT RHEUM, ScALD HEAD, RINGwoRN,
RHEUMATISM, SYPHIIIr1C and MERCUR1AL Dis
EASES, DnoPSY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VrrIA-
TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular BELIEF
in "mp'0ity ofMc blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration OF the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue Of this SarsGpa-
rila is to purify and regencrate this vital fiuid
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

Ague Cure,


Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
RemitteMt Fever, ChiIl Fever, Dumb
ASuS, Periodical IGaG3a&i1e, or Bilious
Neadacho,' asAd T5ui0Ws Fevers, indeed
ing in hillary arrangement, caused by
the Malaria OF Miaasaatic 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 a remedy is invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CURE expels the IniaSmatc poison of FEVER
AND AGCE from the system, and prevents the de-
velopment of the disease, If taken on the first ap
preach Of its premonitory symptoms. Itisnot only
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity 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 ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of lnternttents is that it contains no Quinlne
Or mineral, consequently it produces no qusm or
other injurious effects whatever upon the coustitu-
lion. 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 mi&smatic poison. A great variety of olson
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, RIeamatis@!!, Go&t, Iieadache, BA"d-
ness, Io0ihuche FGrachp, C0t0rrh, asthma, Pal
pitatioa, PaintI affection of tie Spleen, hgster-

originating in this cause, put on the sntet1n'hent
tine, Or become periodical This "CuRE' ;, exncls'
the poison from the blood and consequently curess
them all alike. 1t is an invaluable protection tst
immigrants and persons travelling OF TEMPORARILY
residing in the nalarious districts. If taken occa-
sionaly or daily while exposed to the infectic.cs
that will be excreted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into dis
ease Hence it is even more valuable for protec-
ton than cure and few will ever suffer from Inter-
mttents if they avail themselves of the protection
this remedy affords.
