~ stitutonal disease. tant, corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated weak
and poor. Being in the circulation, it pervades
the whole body, and may burst out in disease on
any part of 1t. No organ is free from its attacks,

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 or are aggravated by the same cause.
