 The whole soul of the deceased was in this war, and it was his often expressed desire, that if death came to him in this great struggle for independence, it might come when facing the foe and leading the brave men, who loved him, to battle. This has been denisd him, but he died in the service of his county, with shield and buckler on. Ready at all times to make any sacrifices for the holy cause; he organised company, was elected captain, and thus, from the ranks rose to, the position be held at his death. He was noble, brave afd enthusiastic man. His frankness and chivaly made him a favorte with the army. May God soften this blow to his afflicted family.

is a constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated.
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, It
peryades the whole body, and may burst oUt
IN disease on any part Of it. Ne organ IS free
from its attacks, nor is there one which Il 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 venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, It is hereditary in the con-
s~tituti0n, descending "a from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation indeed.
it seems to be the rod of Him whO says, al
viii 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
tubercles in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies Of life, so that scTofulous c%Onstitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulOus COM
plants, but they have Ear less power to with
stand the attacks Of other diseases; eonse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulOus IN their nature,
arc 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 sany
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 ~serofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by 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.
