Síđa 19 - It makes its approach in so slow and insidious a manner that the patient can hardly fix a date to his earliest feeling of that languor which is shortly to become so extreme. The countenance gets pale, the whites of the eyes become pearly, the general frame flabby rather than wasted, the pulse perhaps large, but remarkably soft and compressible, and occasionally with a slight jerk, especially under the slightest excitement. There is an increasing indisposition to exertion, with an uncomfortable feeling...
Síđa 19 - ... attempting it ; the heart is readily made to palpitate ; the whole surface of the body presents a blanched, smooth, and waxy appearance ; the lips, gums, and tongue seem bloodless ; the flabbiness of the solids increases ; the appetite fails ; extreme languor and faintness supervene, breathlessness and...
Síđa 19 - For a long period I had from time to time met with a very remarkable form of general anaemia, occurring without any discoverable cause whatever — cases in which there had been no previous loss of blood, no exhausting -diarrhoea, no chlorosis, no purpura, no renal, splenic, miasmatic, glandular, strumous, or malignant disease.
Síđa 20 - ... presents a blanched, smooth and waxy appearance; the lips, gums and tongue seem bloodless; the flabbiness of the solids increases; the appetite fails; extreme languor and faintness supervene, breathlessness and...

Whether any or all of these morbid changes are essentially concerned — as I believe they are — in giving rise to this very remarkable disease, future...
Síđa 20 - On examining the bodies of such patients after death, I have failed to discover any organic lesion that could properly or reasonably be assigned as an adequate cause of such serious consequences...
Síđa 19 - I at present know, chiefly in persons of a somewhat large and bulky frame, and with a strongly marked tendency to the formation of fat. It makes its approach in so slow and insidious a manner that the patient can hardly fix a date to his earliest feeling of that languor which is shortly to become extreme.
Síđa 19 - I perhaps with little propriety applied to it the term " idiopathic," to distinguish it from cases in which there existed more or less evidence of some of the usual causes or concomitants of the anaemic state. The disease presented in every instance the same general character, pursued a similar course, and, with scarcely a single exception, was followed, after a variable period, by the same fatal result.
