SS SCROFULA ' HEREDITARY ?■— The belief is almost universal that this class of diseases is hereditary, and that it is confined to an unhappy lew, who transmit it from father to son. It is hereditary precisely as the com- j plexion, color of the hair, and temperaments are, and in no other way. Scrofula and diseases of the blood are caused by acrid and irritating secre- tipns ; as a consequence the Lymphatic vessels take on a morbid or unhealthy actiot$which increases the trouble. Now there is no doubt but that the I Lymphatic system is liable to as much, constitutional variation in structure i as the temperament that produces certain complexions, color of the hair, j eyes, etc. And as it is said that persons of smooth, soft, fine skin, fair hair, | blue eyes, rosy cheeks, thick upper lips, etc., are most predisposed to j Scrofula and Consumption, it simply follows that persons of this description I also have a peculiar construction of the Lymphatic system, possessing a j greater aptitude to take on certain raorDid impressions ; in a word, more | sensitive to those causes that produce Scrofulous affections. The bugbear of taint in the blood should be dismissed, and all should be assured that by careful attention to the laws of health, and particularly to those governing the Lymphatic system and the fluids of the body, Scrofula will never appear in any form. CAUSES OF SCROFULA — Unwholesome food, want of exercise in the open air, damp and foul air, crowded tenements, shops and factories, want of suitable clothing, are the principal external causes of Scrofulous diseases.
