Asylum admission papers - medical term
« on: Monday 04 June 18 17:54 BST (UK) »
This is from the Bethlem Asylum admission papers 1880-1881.  Can anyone read the word in the doctor's handwriting for the line Fevers, &c.  I have all the other words.

Ah, thanks Bookbox, it certainly looks like that, I haven't heard of that before.  Thank you.
