Scrofu1a, or Kings Evil.

is a constitutional disease, a corruption of tho
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. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint 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.
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, "I
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
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 scrofulous constitu-
tons 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 scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in tho
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 renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it bv healthy food and exercise.

Az ER'S
Ague Cure,
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF


Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
for the whole class of diseases original
ing in hillary arrangement, caused BY
the Malaria OF Miasmatic Countries
We are enabled here to offer the community a
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless IN any
quantity. Such a remedy IS invaluable IN districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. 1hls
"CURE" expels the miasmatic poison of FEVER
AND AGUE from the system, and prevents the de-
yelopment of the disease, if taken on the first ap-
proach Of its premonitory symptoms. It's not only
the best remedy yet discovered for this class
of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity we supply for dollar brings it within the
reach of every body and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body should
have it and it freely both for cure and protec-
ton. A great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Intermttents is that it contains no Qulnlne
or mineral, consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the conshtu-
ton. Those cured by it are left as healthy as ii
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence Of
the miasmatic poison. A great variety OF disor-
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neualqia, Rheumatism Gout, Headache, Blind
ness, Ioothache Earache, Cata,rh, asthma, Pak
titation, Painful affection Of the Spleen, Hyster-
les, Pam in the BoIoels Colo, Paralysis and De-
rangement Of the Stomach, all Of which, when
ORIGINATING in this cause, put the intermittent
tyle or become periodical. This " CURE expels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the maarious districts. If taken occa-
sionally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that Will be excreted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into dis
ease Hence it is even more valuable for protec-
ton than cure and few will suffer from Inter-
mittents if they avail themselves of the protection
this remedy affords.

As We ExnecIed.

In vain have we looked through the COL
umns of leading Republican journals to
find an expression of either condemnation
of the speech Mr.. INGERsoLL, of Illinois,
made last Saturday, indecently and inso-
lently abusive of the President, or regret
that it was delivered. Not even the Cincin-
natl Commercial, which arrogates to itself
the right to set in judgment on Presidents,
editors, Congressman and Southern women,
has deigned editorially to utter one word
of censure or depreciation. We expected
nothing else. 1t is, however, strange that
when the President makes speech to the
people, and tells them the needs of the
hour, and refers in direct language to the
men who are working injury to the peace
and prosperity of the country, he is berated
as lowering the dignity of the position he
occupies, while members of Congress are
allowed to proceed, without reprimand, in
making outrageously and indecently abus-
i've speeches of the President. Are we to
draw the conclusion from this circumstance
that no dignity pertains to the position of
Congressman-that it is place where a
member can speak himself into contempt
ible blackguard without provoking MUIR
mur of dissent from his party friends?
Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1866-05-09
The plot.

There is adeVilish plot on foot, we are
told in some Republican quarters, to dis
possess the Republican party of the admin
istration of the Federal Government. 1t Is
this, substantially: The Southern people,
at the time designated by their State laws
for the election of members to Congress
will hold their elections and elect members
to Congress, and that if those members,
united with the Democratic members who
shall this fall be elected from the adhering
States, shall constitute majority OF all the
members elected. the President will recog-
nize them as He Congress butif this should
fail, then President JOHNSON will be the
Democratic candidate for President in 1868
and if he shall receive a majority of the
electoral votes, North and South, then he
will see to it that he is inaugurated for an-
other four years. This plot, which has
existence only in their allegations,
strikes terror to their souls. Hav-
ing fattened upon the spoils and the
plunderings of the Federal Govern
ment for the last five years, they cannot
with any degree of complacency contem-
plate the idea that the sceptre of power
should he wrested from them and they dis
carded to private life. Their scheming and
planning for the last five months, has not
been as to how the Union can be made to
endure hencefortb forever, or what will
conduce to the happiness and prosperity of
our people; but in what way the Republi-
can party can be perpetuated in power
Their ambition and patriotism have taken
no higher altitude than that. If the peo-
pie, in the exercise of their sovereign pow
er, shall send them adrift, what will they do
about itP Will they undertake to plunge
the country into civil War? Such fool
hardy undertaking. they will scarcely en-
bark in. So, if the people shall will 1t
through the ballot-box that the Southern
States shall be permitted to resume their
representation in Congress, the Republican
party will have to knock under to that plot,
for that's all the sort of plot there will be
about it,,

rhe VTistaIxe of tllo President.

President JOHNSON thought that the
Northern people would gladly exchange a
general amnesty for guarantee from the
Southern people that slavery should forever
be eprohibited in their States. He thought that
the institution of slavery was so repulsive
to the predominant Northern feeling, that
they wanted the country rid of it, and that
such riddance would be cheaply purchased
with a general amnesty. Whatever the
feeling of the Northern people may be, and
on what terms they could be satisfied, seems
a matter of no consequence, since the Re-
publican politicians are not satisfied. AL
though they nominally pretend to represent
the people, they hold them in as supreme
contempt as CoRIoLANUs held the Roman
people. Had the President made it con-
dition with the Southern people, that the
Republican politicians should be permitted
to hold all the offices within the gift of the
Federal Government, direct the Federal
legislation, control the Supreme Court of
the United States, elect the President and
Vice President, and through one device and
another, fiIch from the Federal Treasury,
without let or hindrance, they would have
agreed to general amnesty and to re-
nunciation of Negro Suffrage. Herein con-.
sists the Presidents mistake, In the appre-
henslon Of the Republican politicians, and
1t is the germ from which grows their en-
bittered and defamatory opposition to him.
