Don't understand the first part of your question, but I went to a search engine and typed in Dropsy and found this: "Edema (also spelled oedema, formerly known as dropsy) is swelling due to accumulation of excess fluid in any biological tissue." I think it particularly affected the legs, which looked very swollen and shapeless. This is the site: http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dropsy Jan

Sue If a man married twice and had children by both the wives then those children are named with their correct mothers name. Likewise for a woman marrying twice. Hope that is clear for you. Vera Manchester

I'm no doctor, but think dropsy is a sympton of heart failure...fluid acumulates in the tissues because the heart fails to pump strongly enough to circulate the blood properly. Dierdre X
