De tabe et phthisi pronunciata

XXV.
Those who possess a slender neck, a narrow, depressed, and strict chest, and shoulder blades prominent from behind like wings, are more prone to Phthisis, whence such are called pterygōdeis winged by Hippocrates: for whom, moreover, the head is promptly filled with vapors and is subject to distillations, and the lungs themselves are not only constricted due to the narrowness of the space, but have acquired a soft, tender, flaccid structure prepared for corruption from their first origin.

XXX.
From purulent sputum comes Phthisis and flux. But when the sputum has been retained, they die.

XXXII.

XXXIV.
The syndromounta sēmeia concurring signs of suppurated phthisis, besides those which have been commemorated
