Help with handwriting, please.

[Daft Bat]

Attached are a couple of snips of Trooper Wiliiam James MILSTED's discharge papers of 1873.

I would appreciate any help with reading the handwritten scrawl.

Thank you.

First one could be:-
Phthisis Pulmonalis

Symptoms first set in in December 1872. The disease has not been aggravated by climate or experience in or by the service.

An attempt at the second:-
Considerable ? Has spitting of blood frequently and is getting weaker. Both lungs being in a diseased state. The disability is permanent. He will be able to contribute to his own support to a certain extent.
The disease has been aggravated by intemperance.

Will carry on working on the missing word.

Poor chap sounded quite unwell.

I was struggling with 'intemperance'.

You all probably know this but I've learned something new - "Emaciation" - a wasting away of body mass due to disease or starvation.

Now I know why my late dad lost so much weight prior to his death - he couldn't swallow food.

Thanks, guys - that is very helpful.

(I just knew that I could rely on you. )
