rangements for ventilation, which Is the more to
be deplored, as during the evening they have to
encounter the heat and foul air of three farnlng
burners right over their heads, every door and

air could possibly enter. The bedrooms are
equally uncomfortable, no fewer than Elk persons
being huddled into one, and four into another

facts quoted) without keenly sympatising with

mitigate its evils and misery.

4 constitutional disease, corruption of the
blood, BY which this fluid 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 fres
rom its attacks, nor Is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint 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-
stitution, descending" 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 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, that scrofulous constituE
tions not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseasesS conse-
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, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause. ! sa- gaivt
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 renovats
the blood by an alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise,
Such o medicine we supply in 4 - > - =

the most effsctua1 remedy which the medical
skill Of eur times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. It is com.
bined from the most active remsdials that have
been discovered for the sxpurgation 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--
