The city is full of phthisis; the insanitary conditions under which the vast majority of the inhabitants live favour its rapid dissemination.

A toothache produces more violent convulsions of pain than a phthisis or a dropsy.

Phthisis may be developed in consequence of an attack of influenza, and if phthisis be already established it is apt to run a more rapid course.
