3. Gala&ia depravata; efflux of a dilute or vitiated 
milk. Two varieties. 
a. Serofa; weakened by too large a proportion of ferum. 
( 3 . Complicata; deteriorated by intermixture with fome 
foreign material. 
See Ephemer. Nat. Curiof. in which we have examples 
of a flow of black, green, and yellow, milk. Probably in 
inoft inftances difcoloured by an union with effufed blood. 
Occafionally the quality betrays its fource. Of the na¬ 
ture of beer, or of wine. See Eph. Nat. Cur. Dec. i. 
ann. iv.. 
4. Galadlia erroris: transferred to, and difcharged or 
accumulated at, remote organs, often under a different 
form., Here we have eight varieties. 
a,. Transferred to the fauces; and difcharged in the 
form of a ptyalifm. Puzos. Ephem. Nat. Curiof. 
( 3 . Difchafged from the general furrace of the mammae 
iii the form offweat. Idem. 
y. Difcharged from the navel. Sauvages. 
5. Difcharged from the kidneys in the form of urine. 
Jouni. de Med. 1758. 
s Difcharged from the eyes in the form of a milky 
epiphora. Sauvages. 
£. Difcharged from the thigh on fcarification. Weikard, 
Verm. fchr. i. 47. 
y. Difcharged from the veins on bleeding. Sauvages. 
6. Difcharged from the vagina. Journ. des Sgavuns, 1684. 
Pctullini Obf. cent. i. 
Like the menftrual flux, there is fcarcely an organ to 
which it has not been transferred. “ The blood during 
the time of fuckling is often loaded with milk, and 
evinces a milky appearance; as are alfo feveral of the 
fluids fecreted from the blood ; and hence probably many 
of the above peculiarities.” Good’s Nofology, p. 387. 
5. Galadfia virorum : fecreted in males, and difcharged 
from the proper emunflory. See Colledlio Acad. iii. p. 63. 
“ A milky ferum often diftils from the nipples of new¬ 
born babes of both fexes : but various authors, as Scholtz, 
P. Borelli, Lauremberg, have given cafes of genuine 
milk difcharged in like manner by adult males ; occafion¬ 
ally continuing for a long time; and in fome inftances 
enabling them to perform the office of nurfes.” Good ut 
iiupra. 
Order II. Orgastica, [from orgafm.~\ Difeafes afteflr- 
ing the Orgafm. Organic or conftitutional infirmity, dif- 
ordering the power or the defire of procreating. This 
order contains fix genera. ✓ 
Genus I. Chlorofis, [from green.] Green Sick- 
nefs. Generic characters—Pale lurid complexion ; lan¬ 
guor ; liftleffnefs ; depraved appetite and digeftion ; mif- 
menftruation. 
1. Chlorofis plethorica: habit plethoric; pain in the 
head, back, or loins; frequent palpitations at the heart; 
flulhes in the face ; pulfe full, tenfe, and frequent. 
The orientalifts, and efpecially the Perfians, make a 
male variety of this fpecies, which they call bimariy 
kodek, or morbus puerorum , and is defigned to include 
the affections which often peculiarly mark the ftage of 
puberty. 
2. Chlorofis inops: habit debilitated ; great inactivity 
and love of indulgence; dyfpncea on moving; low-er 
limbs cold and edematous, efpecially at night; pulfe 
quick and feeble. 
Both thefe fpecies of Chlorofis have already received 
due notice. The former under retention of the menfes; 
the latter under Limofis dyfpepfia, p. 139. 
Genus II. J’ra'otia, [from wpat, premature.] Premature 
development of fexual organization or power. Two fpe¬ 
cies, of courfe. 
1. Prceotia mafculina : development of fexual precocity 
in males. See Journ. des S^avans, 1688. Lefke Auf. 
Abhandl. Band. ii. p. 354. Various cafes, and particu¬ 
larly that of Philip Haworth in his fecond year, in the Me- 
L O G Y. 
dico-Chir. Tranf. vol. i. p. 276. A boy has been for fome 
time paft (hown in the neighbourhood of Leicefter-fquare, 
who is a furprifing example of Prceotia. At fix months old 
figns of puberty appeared, and at three years of age (when 
the writer faw him) the parts had attained both in mag¬ 
nitude and in external appearance the form of manhood. 
2. Prceotia feminina : development of fexual precocity 
in females. 
Cafes.—Menftruation in infancy common. See Pfou- 
quet.—Pregnancy at nine years of age. Ephem. Nat. Cur-.

Elem. Phyf. lib. xxviii. fed. iii. Eundman, Rar. Art &

Genus III. Lagnefis, [from lafcivious.] Inor¬ 
dinate defire of fexual commerce, with organic turgei- 
cenceand erection. (Nymphomania, Satiriafis, Saice. et 
Aucl. recent .) Two fpecies. 
1. Lagnefis falacitas, falacity : appetency capable of 
reftraint; excitation chiefly confined to the fexual fyftem. 
Four varieties. 
a,. S. pubertatis, of puberty. Excefs of ftimulus pro¬ 
duced by the feafon of adolefcence. 
S. fenilium, of old age. From local irritation, pro¬ 
duced by debility, or topical malady ; as difeafed ovaries ; 
calculus in the bladder or kidneys; lencorrheea ; or in¬ 
flammation of the womb, or neck of the bladder. 
See a Angular cafe by Mr. Norris in the Tranf. of the 
Medical Society, vol. i. produced by a blow received a 
few months before near the proftate gland, followed by a 
fmall, but nearly-indolent, tumour on the part aftedfed. 
The patient was a married man of fixty-feven ; and du¬ 
ring the violence of the erethifmus, from local irritation, 
which had continued for two months, was reduced to a 
ftate of the moft wretched and fqualid emaciation. The 
following are Mr. Norris’s words: “Nunquam memini, 
inquit asgrotus, me in venerem propenfiorem fuifle, ne- 
dum infana et infatiabili libidine permotum, ante hos 
duos menfes, quando mediro hoc et teterrimo correptum 
effe morbo fenfi ; cujus vis tanta eft et tarn effrsenata, ut 
expleri nequeat; et ad coitum cum uxore me fingula 
no6te, quindecies faltem, imo vicies nonnunquam, im- 
pellat. Hie verocutn sgrotantem meum priapifmo labo- 
rantem fe fallere augurabar, et fortalFe, nulla feminis jac- 
tura in venerem ruere, paulo curiofius id ab illo quaefivi. 
Affirmat autem fe vix in le£Io decumbentem corpus uxo- 
ris contingere, cum tanquam ceftro percitus, in repetitam 
venerem properat, neque unquam nifi pleno coitu res pe- 
ragitur: feminis quidem emiffio potius angere quam vo- 
luptatis afficere vifa eft.” The wife, a matronly woman 
of great modefty, was herfelf hereby rendered extremely 
ill from local inflammation. By fupporting the fyftem 
with tonics, and bringing the tumour to fuppuration, the 
difeafe was effedlually cured. 
y. S. plethorica, from plethora, or entonic affion ; efpe¬ 
cially in a fanguine temperament. 
S. S. ad affuetudine; from habit or immoderate indul¬ 
gence. The collectors of medical curiofities give vari¬ 
ous cafes of divorce obtained againft a hulband on ac¬ 
count of ungovernable falacity. See Eph. Nat. Cur. Dec. 
ii. ann. ii. obf. 121. Plater Obf. lib. i. p. 257. Riedlin. 
Lin. Med. 1697. Timams, 52. 
2. Lagnefis furor: appetency unbridled, and breaking 
the bounds of modeft demeanour and converfation ; mor¬ 
bid agitation of body and mind. Two varieties, of courfe. 
«. Mafculinus; in males. Pollutiones centum per 
diem. Bartholin JZpiJl. iii. p. 145.
