Phthisis... a pulmonary tuberculosis or a similar progressive wasting disease.

Phthisis
It's TB (tuberculosis)

Basically, tuberculosis by the looks of it?

ILoveMyMonkey · 07/04/2021 21:20

Could it be phthisis which when googled is an eye condition, not sure if that could kill you back in the olden days or maybe lithiasis which is a kidney condition.

It’s quite tricky to work out the letters as they’re so swirly. Good luck, hope you work it out.

*ignore my eye condition comment - google added the word bulbi to the phthisis - the TB version makes much more sense ha ha

Thank you so much! I find it so hard to read the olden day script!

I have another one if anyone is able to work it out!

Senility
Cholera Morbus (first word shortened and second misspelled)

On that first page lower down, there is another cause of death shown for someone else.

Dentition. In other words teething. I remember reading once that they really used to think that babies could die of teething.

Thanks so much!

Oh my gosh, teething! Sad
