To what Disease in the Naturall Body of man, I may exactly compare this irregularity of a Common-wealth, I know not.

I realise here that Rizal's famous analogy of societal ills in the Philipppines to biological "irregularities" is not original, and of course. What could have made this analogy popular at the time? To the point that one who is learned, when he hears of it or any similar to it, ascribes it to Rizal without fail?
