SCROFULA, OR KINGS EVIL, is n con-
- stitutional disease taint, corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated weak,
and poor. Being in the circulation it peryade5
| the whole body, and may burst out in disease On
any part of it.. No organ is free from its attacks,
nor is there one which it may not destroy. The
scrofuous taint is variously caused by mercurial
disease low living, or disordered unhealthy
food, impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depres
sing vices, and above all, by the renereal infec-
ton Whatever be its origin it is hereditary in the
constitution, descending from parents "to children
unto the third and fourth generation indeed, il
seems to be the rod of Him who says 81 will visit
the iniquities of the faith ers upon their children
1t effects commence by deposition from the blood
of corrupt and ucerous matter which, in the lungs
liver and internal organs, is termed tubercles;
| the glands, swellings; and the surface erup-
tions or sores. This foul corruption, which gem
ders IN the blood depresses the energies of life
that Scrofulous constitutions only suffer from
scrofulous complaints but they have far less power
to withstand the attacks of other diseases conse-
| quently, vast numbers perish by disorders which,
although not scrofulous in their nature, still
| rendered fatal by this tant in the system. Most
of the consumption which deceminates the human
family has its origin directly in this scrofulous
| tamination and many destructive diseases of the
liver, kidneys, brain, and indeed, of all the organs
arise from aggravated by the same cause
