Scroftila, or King's Evil,
Ib a oonetitutional Uificase, a corruption of the blood, by which thi» lluid becomes vitiated, weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it pcrvndt'8 the whole body, and may burst out Ul disease on any part of it. No organ is free from it* attacks, nor is tlicro one wliich it may not destroy. Tlio scrofulous taint is variously caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis¬ ordered or unhealthy food, inijniro air, fllth ond iilthy linbits, tho dcprosHiiif; vices, und, . uhoTC uU, by the venerea! infection. SVhat- evcr be ita origin, it is hereditary in the con- tftitutiun, descending *' from parents to children unto the third and fourth gcu'^Tation j" indeed, it seems to be tho rod of ILm who Hays, "1 will visit tho iniquities of the lathers upon their chiltlreu."
Ita effects commence by drpnsition from the blood of coiTupt or ulcerous matter, ¦ivhich, in the lungs, Uver, nnd internal organs, is termed tubercles; in the gland.s, swellings; nnd on the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor¬ ruption, which genders in the blood, deprcesd the energies of lilo, so that tiorofulous constitu¬ tions not only suffer from scrofulous com¬ plaints, but thcy have far less power to witli- fltand iho attacks of other diacasca; con^e- q\icntly, vast uunibcrA perish by diiiordcrs which, although not scrofuloua in Ihcir nature, ure still rendered fatal by this taint in tho eyslem. Most of the consumption which de¬ cimates the Imman fn mily has its origin directly in this scrofulous contamiu.'itinn ; and many destructive diseases ofthe liver, kidneys, brain, and, indeed, of all Iho organs, ariso from or lire aggravated by tho same r-ause.
One quarter of all our people ore scrofulous; their persons are invaded by this lurking in¬ fection, and tlieir hL-alth is tinderinincd by it. To cleanse it from the aysteni we nniKt renovate the blood by an uUcrativc nicdichic, and in¬ vigorate it bv healthy loud and exercise. Buch a medicine wo supply in

It   used  to   be   that 'woiiril made the mnn;' but in these latter days, 'WEALTH makes ihe man,  the  want of il the fellow.'    A wealthy scoundrel is honored socially, religiuu.^y and political¬ ly, nnd  ndmilled  inlo   the  'first  circles," while nil lionesl poor man is rudely thrust aside, and obliged lo lake a  ' buck seat.'— Tlie popular creed of the dny is—    , I limes and dutlars! dollars and dimes I All empty pocket's the worst of crimes 1 Ifa mail is down give him a thrust— Tl ample ibe licggnr inlo the dust J' Piisiiinptuous pov.'rlv's quite appalling— Kiioc:. him uver! kic'k l,im tor fulling 1 It a man is uii, ub, lift bim higher 1 .
