A recent investigation Of the hist aspects of the question dates the practice of the kings touch in France from the period of Phillip I G060-110S). It ia possible that Henry I of England started the practice in that coun- try, but it is certain that Henry II used it.
 A disease known sometimes as scrofula, later as the kings evil. was supposed to be especially sus- ceptible to relief by this method. Apparently in many instances the condition was merely a dietary disturbance associated with pow erty, but in later times the sys- temic effects of more serious dis orders were also brought to the kings attention.
 It must be remembered that the medicine of the early middle ages was essentially the practice ,oi magic, involving the use of incan- tations and charms, and of pre- scriptions containing the extracts of worms, frogs, spiders, snakes. furs, feathers, bones, and all sorts of eXcretions.
 It is not surprising that under such circumstances many of the sick preferred to test the virtues of the kings touch.
