KINGS EVIL.
How Ignorance and Super
 sti .. go Hand in Hand.

A curious sight might have been seen in England a couple of centuries ago. At Whitehall or some other royal resi- dence a little group of people would shrinkingly await the coming of tue king, in order l. be rtouched for the eyil.' The specific "evil" was scrofuls, and it was the popular belief that scrof- ula could be cured by the royal touch. Hence the common name for scrofula was Kings Evil.
 Nowadays we know that scrofula is a disease of the blood and that even were there magic in a kingly touch, no ex- terual treatment could cure scrofula. The medicine which cures scrofula

must deal with the blood. It muct be able to eradicate and eliminate the poisons which corrupt the blood and breed and feed disease. When the blood is cleansed, the pimples, blo.ches, boiis and other eruptions disapr ear, ulcers and sores are healed and the flesh becomes sound and healthy.
 THE RIGHT WAY
 to cleanse the blood from scrofila is to choose that remedy which has cured thousands of people who suffered from scrofuls in its most grevious forms.

It came to my mind that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery was recommended for such cases, so went to the drug store and bought one bottle and gave it to her to use as directed Five bottles cured her and she is well to-day. She is married now and has three healthy children.'
 Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov- cry judged solely by the cures 1t has effected is without doubt the most pow erful and most perfect blood purify ing medicine of the century. It is a radi- cal remedy. It goes to the root of the disease. Some preparations containing mineral poisons such as mercury are offered as cures for scrofula.
