Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Account of the Hospital and Parish of St. Giles in the Fields, Middlesex This disorder, once so formidable, is well ascertained by modern practitioners, to have been only a more inveterate stage of scurvy; as is also a species of leprosy, called the Arabian or Eastern leprosy, in contradistinction to that of the Greeks and Europe. Its effects are to render the limbs swollen and tuberous; the skin bloated, rough and wrinkled; the callous part of the feet, and other members, ulcerated and varicated. Good medical management, and a cleanlier mode of living, have almost extinguished this malady at present.
