the Park was In splendid conditi n hard as . flint,

had told him in confidence--and he would
not repeat it--that he had never made a
speech, knew nothing about speech. making,
and had no disposition to learn" Gen. Grant
then quietly descended from his chair, went

weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, il
peryades the whole body, and NAV burst out
in disease ON any part Of it. No oryar, is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which Il may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is var;ously
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, Il is hereditary in the con-

Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or uleerous 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
Tuption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies Of life, so that scrofulous eons,ita-
tons not only suffer from scrofulons COM
plants, but they have far less power to witli-
stand the attacks Of other diseases: eonsc-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in tile
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
