Cause of Death
« on: Sunday 18 April 21 23:38 BST (UK) »
Hi All,

We're stumped by the cause of death on the records of an inmate of a psychiatric hospital in California in 1898.  Most of it is legible; the cause of death (the final two words of the very last sentence) is hard to make out.  Here's what we have: "Died March 7, 1898 of ______ ______".   

All help is appreciated!
Lyle

Can you just scan that particular part and post it as it may be clearer without the rest of the text

Yes, I agree.  Not crossing the letter "t" was throwing me.  Thanks to you both!
