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.
