dysaethesia aethiopica 23
It is a supposed mental illness that afflicted slaves in the southern United States of America and was described in the mid-nineteenth century by the racist physician Samuel Adolphus Cartwright. It would be the scientific name for what the slavers called rascality, a laziness and reluctance to do the tasks associated as a symptom with whiplash-like marks on the back (128530; ) , and that it was cured by smearing the patient with oil and being more demanding with it, since this disease appeared more when he did not have a master or when he treated him as free. The origin of the name dysaethesia aethiopica is taken from the Greek 948; 965; 963; ( dys "without , difficulty" ) 945; 951; 964; 951; 962; or 945; 951; 964; 959; 962; ( aetes or aetos "breath, soul or impetus") , and the name for Ethiopia 913; 953; 952; 953; 959; 960; 953; 945; (Aithiopia), assuming that this disease was brought from Africa.
