Not illustrated. 1913 Excerpt: ... uScop, water, and f6poi, fear (a symptom of canine madness). diphtheria, from SufrOipa, leather, a false membrane forming in the throat. "It not infrequently happens that an earnest medical student comes to me with the statement that he cannot find a certain word--"galactotoxismus," for instance--in his dictionary.
