tails of construction, which have proved a
complete success, the supply rarely failing

top foot, which was mortared; inserted on
each side three pieces of three by four inch
scantlipg, to which perpo ndicular l inch
pine boards were nailed as lining; put on
light shingle roof of double pitch, left the
spaces at the cave between the rafters open
for draft of air to enter, and placed
small Venitan window near the top of the
north gable for its escape. Before putting
on the shingles, and after mailing lath on
on the under~ide of the raflers, the inter
vening space was tightly packed with
strait straw the roof is kept whitewashed
The South gable consists of two doors,

when filing, the ground being level on

Scrofula, or Kings Evil.

ia constitutional disease, corruption OF the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated.
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation. n
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. Nc organ Is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is yariously
caused by mercuria 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,
II seems to be the rod of Him who says, Z" 1
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 in the glands, swellings and on
the surface, oruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies Of life, so that scrofulous consttu-
tions 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 scrofuous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint 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
fection, and their health is undermined by it.
10 cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.

Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla,

the most offectual remedy which the medical
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 expurgation 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 scrofula, but also those other affec-
tions which arise from it, such as ERUPr1vB
and SKIN DISEASES, Sr. ANTHoNY's FIRE,

EASES, DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITIA-
TED or IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in " impwity Of the blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rlla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
