A condition in which the body is evidently depraved. A bad habit of body, chiefly the result of scorbutic, cancerous, or venereal diseases when in their last stage. Hence we hear of a Scorbutic Cachexia, Cancerous Cachexia, &c. Sauvages and Cullen have included under this head a number of diseases-consumptions, dropsies, &c. Cachexia has been sometimes confounded with diathesis. Cachexia Icter'ica is jaundice or icterus itself, or a disposition thereto. Fluor albus is sometimes called Cachexia Uteri'na.
