1t is that impurity in the blood, which, ac-
cumulating in the glands Of the neck. pro-.
duces unsightly Jumps or swellings; which
causes painful running sores on the arms,
legs, OF feet; which developes ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin Of pmples, can
cerous growths, or the many other manifesto
tions usually ascribed to "humors;" which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death. Being the most ancient, 1t Is the
