 Dropsy
If a person is suddenly attacked with dropsy of the lungs, there is rapid, labored breathing, much rattling in the chest, and a sense of severe oppression.

The nursing of dropsical patients is always a difficult task for the nurse, who deserves corresponding credit when she is successful in making the patient comfortable and keeping up his courage.
