Debility ...

A dirty, troublesome patient, always noisy and destructive, and a mere bag
of bones on admission. He was very difficult to treat, refusing all medi-
cines, &c. He simply gradually sank and died from emaciation, the
result of atrophy of all absorbent surfaces; he could make no use of any
food given him. He was formerly a confirmed drunkard.
Post mortem.—All the organs much atrophied. The small and large intestines
showed patches of old-standing congestion. Brain substance was very
soft; the ventricles contained very small amount of serous fluid.

Ditto ...

Diarrhœa ...

He had been losing ground for some time past, and finally refused all food,
and it was only with great difficulty he could be fed even with the tube. He
began to have loose motions which contained a little slime and finally these
became offensive. He had no symptoms of active inflammatory disease.
Post mortem.—The small intestines were congested in patches; the large
intestines' mucous membrane extensively softened and swollen; in fact
from one end of this gut to the other it was almost in a state of slough,
but no great signs of active congestion. It seemed more like sloughing
from extensive œdema than anything else.

Debility ...

This patient was a poor decrepit old woman, nearly totally blind and quite
helpless. She suffered from no definite disease, but had a very weak
heart and a tendency to diarrhœa. She gradually sank and died from old
age as much as anything else. Heart sounds and impulse were hardly
perceptible. No post mortem made.

Diarrhœa ...

On admission a mere bag of bones. She improved a little, but could not
make any use of her food, which had nearly daily to be given her by tube.
She was a very troublesome, noisy patient, never quiet for a moment.
Her digestive system was too thoroughly disorganised to give any chance
of pulling her round. She had intercurrent attacks of slight diarrhœa,
which gradually wore her strength away.
Post mortem showed advanced atrophy of all the mucous membranes
from the stomach to the anus.

Debility ...

This was a wretchedly emaciated man, suffering from chronic dementia;
had chronic diarrhœa and other signs and symptoms of long-standing
neglect; was very emaciated ; could only be fed with the greatest difficulty.
He could make no use of his food and gradually sank.
Post mortem.—All abdominal organs much atrophied, especially the intes-
tinal mucous membrane.
