Bubo

Bubo means an inflamed gland; but in its generally accepted sense, the inflamed glands in the groin as the result of venery are meant. Any trouble in the hands or fingers causes the glands in the arm-pit to get inflamed; any trouble in the lower extremities affect the glands of the groin; troubles of the mouth, affect the glands beneath the lower jaw, etc. When buboes mature, they give rise to fever with chilliness.
