ScrOfnla. or Kings Evil,

Il a constitutional disease corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, Il
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. Ne organ rs free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variousiy
caused by mereurial disease, low living, dis
ordered on unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, tho depressing vices, and,
above ALL by the venereal infection. What
ever DO its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed,
1t seems to be the rod of Him who says, "I
will visit the iniquities Of tho fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, livor, and internal organs, is termed
tuberclos; in the glands. swellings; and on
the surface eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which gendcrs in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, that scrofslous constitu-
tions not only suffer from serofulous COM
plants, bat they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases conse-
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature.
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of tho 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
fection, 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.

EGGS.

TIE Egg was held in great veneration by
The Egyptians, sometimes as symbolizing
the regeneration Of the world, and some
times as an emblem Of the world Itself
The ancient Persians regarded it in the
latter point of view. Orosmasdes, the cre-
ativo principle of good, after he had called
mankind into existence, having mystically
iuclOsed them in an egg; and the possess
ion of this he maintained an incessant
combat with Dhriman, the principle of
malevolence OF evil. Sir Robert Porter
mentions feast of ante Mohammedan or.
igin which he saw celebrated in Persia at
about the period of onr Easter. During
the rejoicings, it was customary for friends
to interchange presents of eggs, typical as
it was supposed, both of the creation and
the deluge. The mundane egg was also
recognized in Brahminical theology and
if it be true that the Hellenic worship of
Bacchus was derived from India, we can,
in consequence, understand how it was
that eggs were carried in solemn process
ion when the foul atrocities of the Dyon-
esia were perpctrated. Stones, egg shaped,
have been found in the excavated chambers
at Nimrod, as also the figure Of person
richly appareled, who wears an egg shaped
headdress. The ancient Egyptians APP
pear to have set great store by the eggs,
as well as the plumes of the ostrich both
formed part of the tribute they extorted
from conquered nations. To what exact
use they put these eggs, we have no certain
information; but the reverence they paid
them, aud the fact that they were hung up
an the temples, is evidence that they were
in some way connected with the supersti-
ton ofthe country. The Ceptic Christians,
nova days have ostriches eggs, pendent
in their churches, as emblems of watch
fulness, and occasionally they are pierced,
TO enable the rope on which the lamp is
hanging to pass through them, and thus
prevent the rats from descending and get
ting at the oil. According to Christian
monographs, the egg has generally been
understood to symbolic the Resurrection,
and hence probably arose the custom, which
once prevailed in the North of England,
of giving infants, the first time after bap-
tism they are sent abroad to visit the
neighbefs, an egg some salt, and some fine
or manchet bread. Hence, also. arose the
custom which still subsists in Russia, and
obtained up to very late period in many
parts of England, of friends on Easter day
exchanging gifts ofeggs-in England, these
being always, or at least most usually,
dyed, or otherwise ornamented. In Mes.
opotamia, the native Christian children
stain the eggs red, in commemoration of
Jhrist's blood. In Cumberland, few
years. ago, the boys were wont to entertain
themselves by challenging each other to
tfial Of the strenth of their respective eggs,
and these being boiled hard much sport
ensucd. He whose egg survived the contest
an which those of his competitors were
shattered, became eatitled not only to the
fragments by way of spoil but to the dig
nifed and coveted title of "Cock of Five or
Six" or whatever the number of eggs
might be which his own had discounted. =

Compound Extract Of Sarsaparilla,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bined 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 affee-
tions which arise from it, such as ERuPTIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHoNY's FIRE,
ROSE, or ERysIrELAs, PIMPLEs, PUsTuLEs,

RHEUMATISM, SYPHILITIc and MERcURIAL Dis
EASES, DRopsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITIA-
TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in " i0p,0ity Of the blood" is founded in truth,
for serofula is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible In
contaminated constitutions.

LlFE PILLS AND PHOENIX BITTERs.

The Life Pills aud Phoenix Bitters have always been
signaly successful in this class of diseases, and will
eradicate all the effects of mercury from the system,
sooner than the most powerful preparations of
parila They aid nature i'll casting from the system all
poisonous matter and by thus purifying the vital fluids,
they restore the System TO health.
Bilious Complaints--A well regulated aud proper
tonate quantity of bile upon the stomach is always
q,iise for The promotion of sound heath stimulates
DIGESTION and keeps the intestinal canal free from all
distractions. On the interior surface of the liver is
peculiar bladder in which the bile is first preserved,
being formed by the liver from the blood. Thence il
passes into the stomach and intestines, and regulates
the digestion. Thus see when there is a deficiency
of bile, the body is constantly costive On the other
hand an abundance of bile frequent
on stomach and often promotes very attacks
of diseases, which something's end in death.
