I don’t know the context in which you’ve found this, but in case it’s of use, there’s an interesting ‘Illnesses encountered in Genealogy’ list at:

http://rmhh.co.uk/illness.html

 

Phthisis is given as tuberculosis, and ‘enteric fever’ as typhoid fever. So gastric or enteric TB?

Tricia’s suggestion sounds right.
