COMPLETED, thank you. One word on a death certificate

[Maggie1895]

If anyone can help me with this, I'd be really grateful.

It's part of the death certificate for a 4 day old baby in 1867.   
I wondered at first if the word was Infarction, but don't think it's that, or Infection, though possible

I've done all the jokes about needing to go to SpecSavers - just very grateful if anyone out there as better eyesight.  All suggestions welcomed.

Added: yippee, it posted!   Thanks to Berlin-Bob for the on-line tutorial because I was going round in circles trying to add it until I found - and read and noted - the step by step guidance!

Emjaybee, thank you very much, it's not a word I've come across.  Makes complete sense in the context of the family at the time.   Sad, but very helpful.
