Fallen Jaw (Jawfaln): Literally a fallen jaw also referred to as a locked jaw. Possibly tetanus.
Planet-struck: Any sudden severe affliction or paralysis.
Rising Of The Lights: Generally considered to be croup. However, the Oxford English Dictionary defines it as hysteria and John Graunt (2) suggests that it may be an inflammation of the liver, similar to livergrown (q.v.).
Stomach: Remember, stomach can be a synonym for abdomen (suggerirei blocco intestinale, ma con spiegazione in parentesi)
Porpora: (Purples, Purpura). This is a rash due to spontaneous bleeding in to the skin i.e. bruises. There are many causes. The age of the victim would be relevant.

Forse ti posso aiutare un pochino...
"Fallen jaw" equivale a "lock jaw" cioè "tetano" o "trisma". Per questo, ti cito il riferimento sotto. Consultalo anche per "planet-struck" (paralisi improvvisa) e "rising of the lights" (forma di isterismo).
Tirando invece a indovinare, "porpora" probabilmente indica le "porfirie" (in inglese "porphyrias") cioè un gruppo di malattie metaboliche che in casi acuti hanno sintomatologia neurologica. Pare che di queste soffrisse re Giorgio III d'Inghilterra (ricordi il film "La pazzia di re Giorgio"?)
A rigor di norma di sito, dovresti inserire ogni termine singolarmente ma non andiamo per il sottile...
