SCROFULA, OR KINGS EVIL, is a con-
~ sttutional disease, taint, corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes yitated weak,
and poor. Being in the circulation, it pervades
the whole body, and may burst out in disease
any part of it. No organ is free from its attacks,
nor is there one which it may not destroy. The
scrofulous taint is variously caused by mercurial
disease, low living, diSOrdered unhealthy
food impure air, filth and filth habits, the depres
sing vices, and, above all. by the venereal infec
ton Whatever be its rgin, 1t is hereditary in the
constitution, descending from parents "tO children
unto the third and fourth generation indeed it
seems to be the rod of Him who says, Il will visit
the iniquties of the fathers upon thoir children"
1t effects commence by deposition from the blood
of corrupt and ulcerous matter, in the lungs,
liver and internal organs, is termed tuberces; in
the glands, swellings; and on the surface, erup
hons sores. This foul corruption, which gen
ders in the blood depresses the energies of life so
that scrofulOus constitutions not only suffer from
scrofulOus complaints but they have far less power
to withstand the attacks of other diseases
quently, vast numbers 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 origin directly in this scrofuous
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
