HISTORY.

Popular belief associates the
kings Evil'' with blood poi
soning and it is interesting to
here review the history of this
impression. The Kings Evil
first appears in History just prior
to the Twelfth Century when
Edward the Conqueror imagined
he possessed the miraculous gift
of curing certain diseases by the
simple touch and by pronouncing
a few sacred words. After the
example of Edward, the King of
France, became celebrated for
the skill with which they cured
scrofula, goitre, ETC., by lis pro-
cess. Scrofula then became unil
versally known as the King
Evil and is to-day sometimes as
luded to by that name. Such z
methodof cure has been claimed
to be the peculiar attribute of the
sovereigns of England and
France, but history does not SAN
ton this, for it appears to have
been not unfrequently employed
in Scandinavia, and to have been
derived from the mystical prac-
tees of the Divide in curing dis
ease. The exact words used for
the cure of Scroflla by the
French Kings were:-"Le roi te
touchc, Dieu tie guerisse.
In this enlightened age no.
body would be silly enough to
trust a case of Scrofula to a King
or his words unless it happened
that the King aforesaid, had a
diploma or two from medical
colleges Of good repute. At this
writing none of the Kings i'll our
circle of acquaintance have taken
up the study OF medicine and we
therefore suggest that every man,
woman and child suffering from
this dreadful disease send fifty
cents to DR.. Jonathan G. Tru-
man, Lemon City, Fla, for a
bottle Of "Marvelo " There is
but one cure for the Kings Evil
for Scrofula and that one
cure is Marvelo. This marvel
