Help with reading cause of death on Death Cert Please

[ptdrifter]

Don't know if a bit more of the writing might help

[mckha489]

The S of Sixteenth looks the same, so I concede Bookbox. It’s an S.

The words “alous soluta” appear here

But I am sure it is directions for mixing a therapeutic agent of some sort

Following up on “soluta” = loose, this entry at nationalarchives implies (perhaps? it is somewhat cryptic) that “loose inside” was a cause of death.

Interesting book mckha489

[ptdrifter]

Or does that mean the certificates were loose inside, Alan ?
Intriguing

[AlanBoyd]

Soluta could also mean "dissolved" while the word "alvine" related to the bowels - could we be looking at a literal report of the symptoms of say cholera?

[ptdrifter]

Ah, Davidgp I think you may have cracked it .
Alvus constricta is constipation, so alvus soluta, diarrhea like symptoms?

Thanks all , a step closer
