Cause of death (Canadian record)

[LMChapman]

Acute something-itis??

[bearkat]

  acute ............(convulsions)

I can't figure out the missing word 

[conahy calling]

ninchitis

[LMChapman]

ninchitis

Thanks it does look like that doesn't it? But nothing really comes up on Google at all when I search it. Must be a very obscure term.

Could it be a badly spelled Meningitis

The second letter looks like an 'e'.  The 'i's at the end of the word are well dotted.

I don't belong to newspaper.com but I saw this when I did a google search so I am wondering if it is consumption or bronchitis.

Upon  doing another google search  it may also be bronchitis which also appears to be called chronic catarrhal ninchitis
Both are lung conditions.

I suspect that they are simply spelling mistakes - they look like the kind of texts which result from an old document (non-digital) being "read" by modern software. 

The section you quote is full of typos, and the other link which comes up when I google it is also full of typos:
The most interesting part of tlie liistory of chronic catarrhal ninchitis is its etiology.

So I think it may be fair to assume that the original texts said "bronchitis" or something along those lines.

Which doesn't help us with this particular query, unfortunately. 

@LMChapman: Could we maybe have a larget snippet, to compare letters?
