SCROFULA, OR KINGS EVIL, is con-
~ stitutional disease, tant, corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated weak,
and poor. Being in the circulation, 1t pervades
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
scrofulous taint il variously caused by mercuria
disease, low living, disordered unhealthy
food, impure air. filth and filthy habits, the depres
sing vices and, above all, by the vepereal infec-
tion. Whatever be its orr GIN it is hereditary in the
constitution descending from parents ''to children
unto the third and fourth generation" indeed. it

the iniquities of the fathers upon thor children"

that scrofulous constitutions not only suffer from
scrofuous complaints, but they have far less power
to withstand the attacks of other diseases; conse
quently, vast mum bers perish by disorders which,
although not scrofulous in their nature, still
rendered fatal by this taint in the system. Most
of the consumption which deceminates the human
family has its orig directly in this Scrofulous
tanlinaton, and many destructive diseases of the
liver, kidneys BRAIN and indeed, of all the organs,
arise from or are aggravated by the same cause.
