It is universally known, that external scrofulous tumours are not always stationary, but at one time are augmented, at another diminished; sometimes vanish, and afterwards reappear. These changes are observed to be produced by the different seasons of the year. Scrofulous swellings begin, for the most part, about the winter solstice; in the spring they are increased; but upon the approach of summer their augmentation ceases; during the summer and autumn they disappear, or at least become very much diminished; and on the return of winter they are reproduced.
