Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

Is Constitutional disease, q corruption OF the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades tho whole body, and may burst out
III disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy, The scrofulous faint Is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices. and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
