Hi all,

On further investigation and speaking with medical professionals the cause of death stated
would have meant violent and sudden stroke, Apoplectic Passion attack/fit;

The clerks abbreviation, although not good,  it explains the other misspelling's on simpler words
and his mistakes.

I really love these old medical records.

Thank you all again very much.
I guess I'll be back again another time  :)

Thanks for clearing it up.

The term is used in a poem by Arthur Conan Doyle:

Bob Ainslie, late of London Town,
    A spruce young butterfly of fashion,
A wrinkle in his dressing-gown
    Would rouse an apoplectic passion.
