THE ELK ADVOCATE Tirs peculiar taint or Infection which wo call ScnoFrLA lurki in the constitutions of multitudes of men. It cither produces or is produced ly nn en feebled, vitiated state p"L of the Mood, wherein Jeft that lluid becomes in- Lpnmniilint in cuslnitl vinorous action, mid Jflciives the system to fall into disorder nnd decay. The scrofulous contnminntion is va riously caused by mcrcurinl disease, low living, disordered digestion from unhealthy food, impuro air, tilth, nnd filthy habits, the depressing vices, ond, above nil, by the vencmil infection. Whatever be its origin, it is hereditary in the constitution, descending " from parents to children unto the third nnd fourth generation ;" indeed, it cems to be the rod of Him who says, "i will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon their children." The diseases it originates take various names, according to the organs it iittncks. In the- lungs, Scrofula produces tubercles, nnd finally Consumption j in the glands, swellings which suppurate nnd be- oruc ulcerous sores j in the stomach nnd bowels, derangements which produce indi gestion, dyspepsia, and liver complaints; on the skin, eruptive and cutaneous Affection?, These, nil having the same origin, require the came remedy, viz., purification nnd invigora tion of the blood. Purify the blood, nnd these dangerous distempers leave you. With feeble, foul, or corrupted blood, you cannot have health; with that "life of the flesh" healthy, you cannot have scrofulous disease. Ayer's Sarsaparilla r compounded from the most effectual anti dotes that medical science has discovered for this afflicting distemper, and for the cure of the disorders it entails. That it is far supe rior to any other remedy yet devised, is known by ull who have given it a trial. That it docs combine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect upon this class of complaint", is indisputably proven by the great multitude of publicly known nnd remarkable cures it lias made of the following' diseases : King's Evil, or Glandular Swellings, Tumors, Eruptions, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Erysipelas, Rose or St Anthony's Fire, Salt Eheum, Scald Head, Coughs from tuberculous deposits in the lungs, Whito Swellings, Debility, Dropsy, Neuralgia, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Syphilis and Syphilitic Infections, Mercurial Diseases, Female Weaknesses, and, indeed, the whole scries of complaints that arise from impurity of the blood. Minute reports of individual 'ases mny be found in Avr.u's Amkmcak Almanac, which is furnished to the druggists for gratuitous distribution, wherein may bo learned tlio directions for its use, and some of the remarkable cures which it has mado frhen all other remedies had failed to afford fclieC Those cases are purposely taken from aU sections of the country, in order ithat every reader may have access to some one who can speak to him of its benefits from personal experience. Scrofula depresses the vital energies, nnd thus leaves its victims far more subject to disease and its fatal results .than are healthy constitutions. Hence it tends to shorten, and does greatly shorten, the average duration of human life. The vast importance of these considerations lias led us to spend years in perfecting a remedy jvhich is adequate to its cure. This wo now offer to the public under the name of A r Kit's fAusAi'AiiiLLA, although it is composed of ingredients, tome of which exceed the best of Sartnparilla in alterative power. By its aid you may protect yourself from the suffer ing and danger of these disorders. Purge out the foul corruptions that rot and fester in the blood, purge out the causes of disease, nnd vigorous health will follow. By its pecu liar virtues this remedy stimulates the vital functions, nnd thus expels the distempers which lurk within the system or burst out on any part of it. We know the public have been deceived ly many compounds of Harsaparila, that promised much and did nothing; but they will neither be deceived nor disappointed in this. Its virtues liavo been proven by abun dant jtrial, and there remains no question of its surpassing excellence for the cure of the iilmcting diseases it is intended to reach. Although under the same nnme, it is a very different medicine from nny other which has been before the people, nnd is far more ef fectual than any other which has ever been available to them. CHERRY PECTORAL, The- World's Great Remedy for Coughs, Colds, Incipient Con sumption, and for tho relief r of Consumptive patients in advanced stages of tho disease. This lias been so long used nnd to uni versally known, that we need do no more than assure the public that its quality is kept up to the best it ever has been, and that it iiiav be relied on to do oil it has ever done.
