Excerpt from The Saint Louis Medical and Surgical Journal, Vol. 14: Published Monthly; February, 1877

A scrofulous diathesis, which may be inherited or ao quired, may induce tuberculosis, the products of sorofu lous inflammation in the body, iich in proliferated cells, are absorbed by the lymphatics deposited in the lym phatic glands, wheie inflammation may be set up, the cells die, and a caseous degeneration follow, whence we have infecting foci for the development of phthisical dis ease. But the glanular infiltration may be removed be fore degeneration and subsequent absorbtion occur, hence we have the records of collected cases, where there were scars caused by the discharge of the broken down gland structure, and the lungs were not involved, and from this fact the proposition has been offered by high authority that scrofulous enlargement of the glands especially those of the neck, guards against phthisis This is not so much because the glands have been en larged, but on account of the escape, if there are scars, or the non-absorbtion, if the gland is still enlarged, of the degenerated infiltration. The presence of scars or of undegenerated glands indicate that there, at least, ab sorbtion has not taken place.
