cation was assigned by Somner, whose 

 words are " Deop, '5eo]ie, morbus qui- 

 " dam,fortasse, inflammatio, phlegmone, 

 " an inflammation, a blistering heat of 

 " the blood or a swelling against nature 

 " being hot and red." Probably this 

 conjecture of Somners was founded 

 partly on the etymological considerations 

 which follow, peoji seems to have for 

 its kindred words )>j\i dry, J'ypjT thirst, 

 that is, dryness, the German dorre, dry, 

 and a large number of other words, for 

 which see Spoon and Sparrow, arts 478, 

 592, etc. In the German Diirrsucht 

 (dry sickness') atrophy, meagreness, con- 

 sumption, the withering efi'ects of dry- 

 ness have produced the expression. The 

 Latin equivalent for these ideas would 

 be Tabes, which is treated of by Celsus 

 (iii. 22) as having for its species arpocpia, 

 atrophy, Kaxe^ia, corrupt habit of body, 

 and (pdiais, consumption, peojiabl ap- 

 pearing in the feet. Lb. xlvii., is Tabes 

 iu pedibus, such a wasting away of the 

 feet as arises from ulceration produced 

 by an over long journey on foot. That 

 the disease is spoken of as local some- 

 times follows from the teaching of 

 Celsus : " Huic (scil. cachexiae) prater 

 " tabem, illud quoque nonnunquam ac- 

 " cidere solet, ut per assiduas pustulas 

 " aut ulcera, simama cutis exasperetur, 

 " vel aliquas corporis partes intumes- 

 " cant." That worms belong to the 

 disease is paralleled in German, which 

 has its Diirremaden, worms which cause 

 a meagre habit and atrophy.
