eighteen inches, and the whole structure is in

Scrofula, or Kings Fv;l,

is constitutional disease, acorruption Ut ne
blood, by which this fluid becomes v.t'a.ed,
weak, and poor gBeing in the circulation, 1t
peryades the whole body, and may burst out
IN disease on anylpurtof il. No organ. is free
from its attacks. nor Is there one which 1t may
not destroy. Tic scrofulous taint is'varlously
caused nv mercufal,. 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 origilg i, is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending F." from parents to children
unto the third andfourth gencratiom; indeed,
it seems 70 be the rodof Him who says, II
will visit the niquiies 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, deprcsses
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 other diseases conse-
ouently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not'scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this ,taint in the
system. Most Of thaa 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 OF
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 Il 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 in
