Scrofula

Scrofula is that condition of the system where the blood becomes tainted with some deep rooted constitutional diseases; glands are enlarged and a low form of inflammation sets in. Such glands occur chiefly on both sides of neck, in the eyes, inside the nose, in the ears or on the chest. It is the result mostly of hereditary syphilis or of tubercular taint in parents; but is sometimes due to chronic malnutrition or bad hygiene. Scrofulous patients are more susceptible than others to the attack of phthisis.
