英文释义

名词 n.
  1. A hard swelling of a gland or other organ. obsolete
    — […] 'Tis true, when once a Schirrus is formed in a glandular Part, no one can tell how it may terminate; becauſe various changes may ariſe from various Cauſes in the Conſtitution of the Perſon; and if the Juices ſhould degenerate into a highly acrid, or what the Ancients termed an atrabiliary State, the Schirrus will be (cæteris paribus) more liable to become a Cancer.
  2. A condition characterized by the formation of tumors. obsolete
    — An exquisite Schirrus is uncurable; for seeing it is senselesse, it is manifest that the part is deprived of the influence of the animal spirit: and seeing this humor doth distend the sinewes, veins and arteries, the faculty itself is strangled and choaked, so that it neither can direct, nor help the naturall heat to concurre with the meanes, to be applyed for the dispatching of this griefe.
