CONSUMPTION Copy link
• CONSUMPTION
  • consumptio (a consuming; Vid: To CONSUME).
  • The disease, tabes (of which Cels., 3, 22, gives the different kinds in Greek; later writers in Latin; as, atrophia; cachexia; phthisis). A slow consumption, lenta tabes: to fall into a consumption, corpus ad tabem venit: tabes aliquem invadit: to be dying of consumption, *tabe laborare [Sidon., Ep., 5, 14, uses phthisiscare, to be suffering from consumption]: to die of a rapid cnsumption, subito macie, et deinde morte corripi. OBSERVE: Phthisis is (according to Cels., 3, 22) the longe periculosissima species; oritur fere e capite; inde in pulmonem destillat; huic exulceratio accedit; ex hac febricula levis fit, quae etiam cum quievit, tamen, repetit: frequens tussis est: pus exscreatur; interdum cruentum aliquid. This is “vera phthisis.”
