They do occur sometimeswithout either being apparent. To facilitate the clear un-derstanding of what we are talking about, a drawing ispresented of the inguinal glands,and the absorbents leading to andfrom it, which conveys but an im-perfect idea of the number of theabsorbents; but it serves to showthe nature of them, and theirmode of communication. Glands become inflamed fromother causes than syphilis; ascratch, a bruise, or any local ir-ritation, will occasion an enlarge-ment of the nearest set of glands, or at least one of them. Scrofula is a specific cause. A3the venereal poison carries with it its morbid nature wher-ever it happens to be conveyed, the glands become infectedwith it; and hence it is the more readily transferred to thesystem at large. Very frequently and fortunately the dis-ease terminates in the glands ; that is to say, does not ex-. OX VENEREAL DISEASES. 96 tend to the circulation at large. The time that intervenesafter absorption has taken place, before bubo manifests it-self, is as uncertain as that of chancre appearing afterconnexion ; but generally the party is safe a fortnight afterthe entire disappearance of the chancre. Where it is oth-erwise, some trace of irritation on the glans or prepuce isdiscoverable upon close investigation, or it will followgreat fatigue, venereal excesses, &,c. If the disease ex-tend to the constitution, it rarely affects other glands thanthose primarily attacked ; and hence it is rare that morethan one gland becomes inflamed. Having given the re-ceived notions of the cause, the symptoms should next bedescribed. No person can be unaware of the approach of a i
