The AduIieraiion of Tea,

In the London Lancet, of August 10th,
we find the report of the microscopical
and chemical analysis Of forty-eight sam
plies Of tea:
"Of the twenty.four specimens OF black
tea analysed, every one was found to be
genuine. OF like number Of green teas
all 1cerc ad,Slterated. The authorizations are
mainly coloring matter with which the
tea leaf is faced, painted or glazed
Zero cyanide of iron or Prussian blue is
the article most commonly used for this
purpose. Sometimes, however, indigo,
kaolin, or China clay, and turmeric pow
der were found in addition. That species
of tea which is donomnated gum powder
is adulterated in other ways by admixture
with leaves not those of tea, with paddy
husll and particularly with the die ter,
so called, leaf which resembles the tea
leaf closely, aud is sent to this country
from China in vast quantities, to be en-
ployed in adulterations here. The color
ing Of the tea is almost entirely done in
China, and probably because it improves
ITS appearance, and perhaps renders its
sale more sure and rapid.
"Such is the result of thorough ana
yzation of this article by eminent scion-
tilic men in England, and it is certainly
not very flattering to the taste of those
who drink green tea for the love of it.
There is no such article as an unadulter-
ated green tea. Let the lovers Of the
herb remember that fact, and as they sip
the delicious beverage, and fancy they
find in it q solvent for their aches and
pains, let them also remember that they
are slipping with it solution of Prussian
blue and indigo, as we'll as sundry other
little peccadilloes, that neither add to its
eXhilarating properties, nor yet are en-
tirely harmless to the system. On the
other hand the black teas are not adul-
tcrated, and are the only ones used by the
Chinese. Knowing the impurities that
are in the best green teas, they send them
u foreign ports to tickle tho delicate pal
ates Of the Euglish, tho Fronoh and the
American, who, in their view, fancy the
bright, lively appearance impaired by the
coloring compositions they USE. The
remedy for these wholesale authorizations
is easy. 1t is entirely in the hands of the
tea merchants. If they refuse to buy the
poisonen leaf, tho Cinnamon will very
quickly stop aiulterating it," -t-

Compound Extract Of Sarsaparilla,

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 remedals that have
been discovered for the expurgation 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-
tons which arise from it, such as ERUPTIvB
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHoSY's FIRE,
ROSE, or ERYsIPELAs, PMPLEs, PUsTULEs,
BLoTcHEs, BLAINs and Boms, TUMoRs, TErTER
and SALT RHEUM, ScALD HEAD, RIsswoRx,
RHEUMATISM, SYPHILIrIc and MERcURIAL Dis
EASES, DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, IDENTITY, and
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITIA-
TED or IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in "ip'pwity Of the blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. Tho
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fuid
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

Marching to Death.

The National Quarterly thus depicts
remarkable scene that occurred some
years since on one of the British trans
port ships. The commander Of the
troops on board, seeing that the vessel
must soon sink, and that there was no
hope of saving his men, drew them up in
the order Of battle, and, as in the pres.
enco Of human enemy, bravely faced
the doom that Was before them. We
know Of no moro impressive illustration
of the power of military discipline in the
presence of death
"Look at that noble vessel in the high

sources on board have been called into

Scrofula, or Kings Evil.

is q constitutional disease, corruptionsof the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, IL
pcryades the whole body, and may hurst out
in disease on any part of IL. No organ is free
from It's attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrcfulous 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 il is hereditary in the con-
sttution descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation indeed,
il seems 20 be the rod OF Him who says,f"I
viii visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children" 1i 7fl Nd
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, Ia
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, oruptions or sores. This foul corr
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofllous constiu-
tons not only suffer from scroftIlous COM
plants, but they have FAR less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; eonse-
quently vast numbers perish Ivy 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 OK
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous |;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, 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 II by healthy food and exercise,
Such medicine we supply in
