An Essay On The Nature And Cure Of Scrophulous Disorders, Commonly Called The King�������s Evil is a medical text written by John Morley in 1781. The book discusses scrofula, a disease commonly known as the King's Evil in the 18th century. Morley provides a detailed description of the symptoms, causes, and treatment of the disease. He also examines the historical beliefs and superstitions surrounding scrofula, including the idea that the touch of a monarch could cure the disease. Morley argues that the disease is caused by a variety of factors, including poor hygiene, malnutrition, and genetic predisposition. He advocates for a holistic approach to treatment, including a healthy diet, exercise, and hygiene practices. The book is a valuable historical document, providing insight into medical practices and beliefs in the 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
