lungers
Those with consumption
Lungers is the plural of lunger, which has two distinct meanings.
In older slang, a lunger was a person suffering from tuberculosis—the disease attacks the lungs, and patients were sent to dry climates to recover: The sanatorium was full of lungers from back East.
Separately, a lunger is someone or something that lunges: The dog's a lunger, so keep the leash tight.
