There la a sufrfresUva slgnlSoanoe in the original meaning of the name ap plied to many dlsoases of the human raee. !"Fever" is derived from the Latin word fitut, to boil or seethe, and A x cess of heat is actually the ohlef oause of most febrile dUorders. The word scrofula W derived from im unfa, the common hoff, on account of 'the fre quency of spoctmonsol the 'genu pig being t (Tec ted with enlargement of the lymphatlo glands,, and other symptom of what physicians eall a "oaoheotlo diathesis," 1. ... a taint of hlood corrup tion.. That corruption is due to the un clean food of the dlrt-grubhlng grunter, and In many eases Is no doubt directly transmitted from diseased plga to the organism of pork-eating men. StlU more frequently, however, a similarity of results Is due to aslmllarltyof causes. and tho "King's Evil" was apt to attaok persons addicted to the use of any kind of unwholesome food decayed or iadi gostiblo vegotabloa, alcohol, sour bread ami tho horrid salt-beet diet ot, our mediaival ancestors. - - In cerLain families scrofula, however, continues to appear in early ohlldhood, despite of considerable reform tn the habits, of domestla life, and In suoh cases must be attributed chiefly to the lnnuonce of a hereditary taint which, like hereditary consumption, afflicts children for tho sins or their latner. Thero seems, lndeod. to bo a casual con- necUoq .between, tbnJ'lUu2 Evil" and pulmonary consumption, whtch has justly boon called "pulmonary scrofula. Eruption on the alia, especially about the nook and bead, are the Drat symp toms, soon followed br a ohronlo nasal catarrh ("cold In tho head"), an irri tated oonditiou of tho muous memQrane, characterised by . a profuse discharge, continual snilUng, and ofton an ugly hacking cough. The upper Up becomes sore and much enlarged, the nostril swollen, thoro are occasional discharges from., .tbs eyes and even from the ears. Inflammations' of the bones and joints mark a more advanced, and let curable, stage ot the-disease; butin a plurality ot cases the symptoms are limited to skin eruptions and a malignant oatarrh both apt. to disappear a oon as the child Is transferred from an 111 ventilated nursery . to a sunny, play ground. i ,1 .
