It sounds like a heart disease. The word Pulmondlis sounds a lot like a pulmonary heart failure.

It's listed as phthisis pulmonalis, which is tuberculosis of the lungs (also previously called "consumption").

It is associated with coal miners. Check out this website: http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic398.htm

I think you mean phthisis pulmonalis which is another name for Tuberculosis (TB).

Here are some other "old" names for TB:

Consumption

Wasting disease

White plague

Scrofula

King's evil

I'm pretty sure Phthisis Pulmonalis is pulmanary tuberculosis, a disease that was a common killer before the vacination was discovered in the early 1900s

Well, I knew that the Pulmondlis must have been to do with the lungs, so I checked on the search engine and came up with nothing - then I checked other peoples answers and was educated - sound like it must be TB to me!
