Boils |
Description of disorder
Conical hard tumours or swellings, attended with considerable inflammation, and acutely tender to pressure. They slowly inflame, get larger, come to a head, and finally suppurate, with a core in the centre, which is discharged with the purulent matter, and all pain ceases. Derangement of the system, from abuse of food and torpidity of the circulation, often causes boils.
