the most cffectual remedy which the mcdi al
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bincd from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expIlrgation 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 Scrofua. but also those other affcc-
tons which arise from it, such as EnurrrvE
and Skin DISEASES, Sir. ANrHoSY's FIRE,
ROSE, or ERysrrELAs. PIMrLEs, PrsruLEs,

RHEUMATISM, SYrnII.iric and MERcvRiAL Dis
EASES, DRorsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEmrITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITA
TED OR IMrcnE BLooS. The popular belief
in "inpnity Of the blood" is founded in truth.
for serofula is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rilla is to purify and rcgencrate this vital fluid
without which sound health is impossible in

Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

weak. and poor. Being IN the circulation it
pcryadss 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 mny
not destroy. The scrofuloiis talnt is variou>ly
caused by mcrcurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the voncreal Infection. What

p stiu,tion, descending {" from parents to children

it seems TO be the rod OF Him who says, g.

Its effects commence by dspo- ition from the
blood of corrupt or uicerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tuberclcs: in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, cruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, deprcSscs
tie energies of life, so that scrofulous eonstitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulOus COM
plants, but they have far less power to witl-
stand the attacks of other diseases: con>e-
qucntly vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not serofilous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of tie consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin dir, city
in thi, 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
fiction, and their health is undermined BIZ 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.
