Handwriting problem - PROBLEM SOLVED
« on: Thursday 01 February 07 14:40 GMT (UK) »
I have recently acquired a death cert, but am unable to decipher the cause of death. I think it is something "fever", but not really sure. Also the medical attendants name I think is Samuel ???.  It is the first entry on the certificate that I am interested in.

Can anyone help please?

I think it's enteric fever; the medic's name is Samuel Cox.

Gareth,
Thankyou for you very quick reply. I believe the other name for "enteric Fever" is typhoid.
