ScrOfula. or Kings Evil.

O
is a constitutional disease, a 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 free
from It's attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The s~crOfulous 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 v%enereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the on
s%titution, descending g from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation = indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, 81
win visit the iniquities Of the fathers upon
their children"
It's effects commences by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubereles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, erupiOns or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders III the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous e~onstitu-
tons not only suffer from ~scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not serofulous in their nature, d.
~~@sn rendared fatal by this taint IN the
system. Most of the consumption winch de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrOfulOus contamination; and many
destructive diseasesOf 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 s~crofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
lection, and their health is undermined by it..
To cleanse it from the system we must renoyate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and IN
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.

the most e~ffectual remedy which the medical
skill Of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. It is COM
bined from the most active femedials 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 foz the cure Of
not only Scrofula, but also those other affec-
tons which arise from it, such as ERUPTIvB

indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITIA-

In g impagity of the blood is founded in truth,
for s~crofula is a degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue Of this Sarsapa-

Nag. Il. ". Ey's p p C. to the
Yankees at Roanoke.-From Satur-
day, the day of the surrender Of
Roanoke, till the following
Wednesday, Major Fry was con-
fined in a. room in the house Of
DR.. Ritters, Oh the Island. In this
room the Major discovered a por-
ton Of a keg Of powder, the pri-
vate property of DR.. Ritters. On
Wednesday morning, understand
ing that he was that day to be re-
moved on shipboard, the Major
took about twenty pounds of pow
der and rolling it in a sheet, made
a sort of cartridge, and rammcd it
up the pipe Of Il stove that stood
in the room. In the course of an
hour after completing this job the
Major was removed, and his mind
being otherwise occupied, thought
little more of it. From some of
our wounded, who had been left
at Elizabeth City, and who ar
rived here last night, we are in
formed that one rainy day last
week the Yankees, for the first
time, built fire in the stove. In
a few minutes the explosion took
place, blowing the house to ruin,
and killing and wounding fifteen
or twenty Yankees. The accuracy
of the above is beyond question.
