lymphatism

lymphatism
a) Enlargement or swelling of the lymphatic tissue, associated in the past with sudden death of children but no longer considered to be an authentic ailment.

Lymphatism. Post-mortem examination on a boy 10 years of age who died after receiving a blow on the head revealed a thymus gland of considerable bulk, 4 inches long.

b) Bloating, sluggishness.

As Jean Lurcat said, "The art had died, killed by consumption, insipidness, lymphatism, and inversion."
