Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

blood, by WHICH, this huid BECOMES vitiated,
werrk, and poor. .Being N the circulation, it
pervades, the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on nny part of il. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous tant u variously
caused by mercurial disease, low hving dRt
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above oil. by tho yenereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary IN the con-
stitution, descending q from parents to children
unto tho third and fourth generation; indeed
it seems 70 be the rod Of Him who says, II

their children" D, ~ 'o' I'.' q.
It's effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, qn

which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
