"Whether tho poison is hereditary, or bus 
iUs beginning in tho individual victim, the 
result is the same; except that in the for¬ 
mer case, the progress of the disease, may, 
through ini tented weakness of the system, 
be more rapid. Like results flow' from 
the poisons of mercury and contagious 
diseases. AYER’S .SARSARAttILt a is the 
only alterative medicinosufticiently power¬ 
ful to eradicate these special poisons from 
the blood. It bus, in thousands of in¬ 
stances, cured Hereditary Scrofula, 
and there is no disease caused by impure 
blood that will not yield to 
The primary indications of vitiation of 
the blood may not alarm the thoughtless, 
but, rightly v Jewed, are signals of danger. 
Each atom of impurity in the life-current 
is a seed of disease, poisoning by contact , 
and destroying the red corpuscles of the 
blood, the destruction of which, if con¬ 
tinued to a certain easily reached point, is 
necessarily fatal, ns the nutrition of the 
system depends upon them. 
'Nature’s efforts to expel the contami¬ 
nating matter are first, seen in the break¬ 
ing out of Pimples, Sties, Skin Erup¬ 
tions and Boils. At the same time the 
deterioration of the blood is shown by 
Physical and Mental Prostration, 
Weariness without Effort, Languor 
and Low Spirits. If thorough remedial 
measures are promptly applied at this 
stage in the development of the disease, 
cure is by no means difficult. Nature de¬ 
mands a’.il to arouse and invigorate the 
torpid organs, and expel th« Atoms of im¬ 
purity. At the same time, tho impover¬ 
ished blood must be enriched and vitalized. 
All this is best done by 
Scrofula is, by many people, supposed 
to exist only as an hereditary disease. It 
is undoubtedly true that its taint is trans¬ 
mitted from parents to children until—if 
it is permitteil to continue its course—the 
corrupted line dies out. P.ut it is equally 
beyond question that evil conditions of 
life may develop the disease in a person 
who has not inherited it. Scrofula is a 
constitutional malady caused by vitiated 
blood. High and low living, excess and 
want, alike induce it. "Whatever inter¬ 
rupts the regular and effective working of 
the organs of digestion and assimilation, 
and binders the necessary processes of 
secretion and excretion, causes the blood 
to convey impurities through the circula¬ 
tion and checks the throwing off of the 
effete matter the waste of the system— 
which is, in health, an unceasing process. 
The evil consequences of these conditions 
can only he averted by prompt restoration 
of the functions of the body and expulsion 
of the impurities alreadyoffendiusiNature. 
The only medicine that can be relied upon 
to do this promptly and thoroughly, is 
hesitatingly say “No"’to this question in every 
particular, and with absolute truthfulness 
from their standpoint, yet there are those who 
would take exception to this answer in some 
particulars, aud I am one of that class. 
The exception 1 would make would be in 
regard to quality. This is merely a matter of 
taste, and “tastes differ” you know. Scores 
of people have told me that the Concord was 
the best grape that ever grew, the best they 
had ever eaten and good enough for them, and 
I could readily believe they all told the truth 
as they believed it—some because they were 
not familiar with other kinds, and others be¬ 
cause it just suited their peculiar taste, and 
yet after sampling other kinds pretty liber¬ 
ally, I found their orders for vines were not 
entirely for Concords; in fact many have ad¬ 
mitted that a more extensive acquaintance 
with different kinds had increased their 
knowledge and changed their opinions. 
I like the Concord myself perhaps as well as

been the most successful native gTape ever in¬ 
troduced, and from its abundance aud cheap¬ 
ness, thousands of people among the masses 
have been led to enjoy a luxury to which 
otherwise they would have remained compar¬ 
ative strangers; yet, notwithstanding all this. 
1 have no hesitancy in saying we have better 
grapes as far as quality is concerned. In sup¬ 
port of this assertion I will name the Brighton, 
which while superior in quality is quite equal 
to it in productiveness and vigor, and though 
not so thoroughly hardy in foliage, is still suf¬ 
ficiently so to become a standard sort. 
The fruit does not have that tendency to rot 
and crack that the Concord has, two import" 
ant points in its favor, and it certainly prom 
ises to become a very valuable variety for 
family use or for market over a large extent 
of country. I will now give the opinions of 
others on this question. » 
Last Fall while I was engaged picking 
specimens to make up a collection for exhi¬ 
bition, I had a call from a couple of clergy¬ 
men who were interested in tho grape ques¬ 
tion, whose object was to see for themselves 
how the various kinds behaved under similar 
treatment, but as 1 was busy they would like 
the privilege of looking about till I was at 
leisure, which was readily granted. They 
soon found that without a guide book that 
could answer the queries constantly pre¬ 
senting themselves, it was a pursuit “of 
knowledge under diflicnlties,” aud they soon 
returned to consult me as t) this very ques¬ 
tion of the quality of tho Concord as com¬ 
pared wich others. I declined to forestall 
their decisions, but would give them au op¬ 
portunity to judge for themselves. 
I consequently picked a cluster each of Con¬ 
cord, Cottage and Worden and gave them to 
sample, they not knowing any more than that 
they had three varieties, and they retired to a 
shady place to deliberate and come to a de¬ 
cision. Having disposed of the fruit, they 
rendered their verdict, which completely re¬ 
versed the order above given. Worden was 
decidedly the best, being tender and melting. 
Cottage was remarkably rich aud sweet, pref¬ 
erable to Concord, which they marked third. 
I need only add that this verdict has the 
indorsement of myself and many others. So 
much for quality. As to hardiness, both the 
Worden and Cottage are seedlings of the Con¬ 
cord, and as far as 1 know equally hardy, 
vigorous aud productive, and it seems fair to 
presume they will succeed well wherever the 
Concord will. 
The Cottage is larger in berry and smaller 
in bunch than the Concord, while the Worden 
is larger in both respects than either, and both 
are earlier than the parent. 
Some object to the Cottage “that it droos 
worse than, the Hartford.” I have uot found 
it objectionable in this respect until it was 
overripe; then, of course, it does drop easily; 
but can we expect every desirable quality in 
so early a grape? The remedy is simple and 
pleasant, viz: to eat them before they reach 
that coudition. I know that this commenda¬ 
tion of the Concord and its family will not 
suit the refined and educated taste of the 
aesthetic amateur, but this is written for the 
masses, and the grapes mentioned are for the 
same class.
