Compound Extract of SarsapariI!a,

The most effcctual 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 rem9dials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this fou,
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 these other afcc-
tons which arise from it, such as ERurrivE

Albany Journal, says
| break tasted yesterday with a disin-
guished and influential gentleman who
has heretofore insisted that the North
must break down under the enormous
and exhausting expenses ofthe war He
is constrained however, to admi; that the
resources and devotion of the North not
only disappoint him, but challenge ad
riration. No other government, he says,
has, or could, from its own means. thus
maintain IFS credit. He admits. also,
that our army is proving equal to the
emergency.

ScrOfula, or Kings Evil.

is constitutional disease, q 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
i'll 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 yariously
caused by mcreurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, tith
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 roa of Him who says, 81
will visit the iniquitics 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; Ill the glands, swellings and on
the surface, eruptions 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 ether 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-
cHl'eS the human 1ainly 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 in
lection, and their health is undermined by it.

Iowa TRoops The editor Of the

10 his paper these facts. He says:
From report made BY Gen. Haleck' S
Adiutant. TO Gov. Kirkwood, gather
the following startling and sorrowful
facts regarding our troops. OF the elev-

on ,e 2ist of April, only $500 men fiji
for duty. and 1872 officers left The
whc,e aamher Of men including sick,
WOUNDED. &c. was $40.
The 9Th and lutl, with Gen. Curtis
and the Alb and 5.h recently sent to
Pope are not in much if any better con
dillon the 9th, indeed is quite as bad
as the worst under Halleck. Allowing,
however. 500 effective men to each Of
these regiments, which is a high est
mate, and adding the l7th Re ,nent at
ST. Louis, 900 strong, We Be e $3.50
effective men in the infantry SER Ice from

Our cavalry regiments are in \ better
condition but have suffered severely.

5000 effective men-which is more than
they will count, the lst in Missouri and
the Sd with Curtis, being badly reduced
and allowing so scattering, and Iowa
has lO.O99 men in the field. This is
about $500 less than our quota. These

suggestive of the departure of thousands
Of heroic sons, brothers, husbands and
fathers to their long homes, and ofa sad
number Of bleeding hearts and desolaie
