"King's Evil with blood poi.
soning and it is interesting t.
here review the history of this
impression. The Kings Evil
first appears in History just prio,
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
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 his pro-
cess. Scrofula then became unil
versally known as the King
Evil and is to-day sometimes as
luded to by that name. Such q
methodof cure has been claimed
to be the peculiar attribute of the
sovereigns of England and
France, bat history does not SAN
tion 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 Scrofula by the
French Kings were:-"Le roi te
touche, Dieu te 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
or two from medical
colleges of good repute. At this
writing none of the Kings in 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
