Consumption is what they called Tuberculosis in the mid-late 1800s. Doc Holliday died of "consumption".
I'm not sure if Tuberculosis was what they meant by "putrid fever". DaMan |

Quoted: "Putrid fever" was an old name for typhoid fever. Renamed, actually, "Putrid Fever" referred to Typhus and NOT Typhoid Fever. Typhoid Fever and Typhus are different diseases with similar symptoms. I found an interesting site for OLD MEDICAL TERMS: [url]http://members.tripod.com/PearlsPad/Medical.htm[/url] DaMan |
