Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book seeks to overturn a culture of medical care and treatment and offers a hopeful new approach for battling the disfiguring symptoms of scrofula, often called the Kingâs Evil. The crux of the authorâs argument is that scrofula and other illnesses are caused by a humor in the blood and that the remedy can be found in the use of specific medicines. Detailing the authorâs personal experience of scrofula and how he came upon the cure of his affliction, this book offers insight into the scrofula epidemic and the intense social stigma of those who suffered from it. Blending autobiographical elements with the author's wide knowledge of scrofula, this book is a moving and eloquent indictment of the eraâs medical practices and offers a glimmer of hope for those afflicted with the disease.
