Description

This disease is extremely prevalent in this country; so much so that scarcely any family can claim an exemption from its attacks. It is technically called Struma, or Scrofula, which are synonymous terms; but in common language it is called the King's Evil. The latter appellation is derived from the circumstance of Edward the Confessor, touching persons afflicted with it; and it is said they were miraculously cured thereby.
