ScrOfula, or Kings Evil.

is a constitutional disease, n corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes yitiated.
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, il
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 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, 81
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
tubcrcles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresscs
the energies of life, 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 scrofnlous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint 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.
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 it from the system we must renoyate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in
