In the larger version (thanks, Eyesee), I think I can make the word after 'year' out as Jaundice.
I'll change my vote to "jaundice" as well.

Thank you everyone for your contribution. Yes I would be happy to say it says:

"Chronic Bright 1 year certified. Gall Stones 2 months certified."

The word "certified" should only be there once on a death record. I don't remember exactly what it indicates but, from memory, I think it meant either the deceased was treated by a doctor recently for the condition given as cause of death, or a doctor was there when she died, or something else I forget. At any rate, a doctor was involved.
 
Compare it with the record above which says "no medical attendant."

So your first "certified" is probably "jaundice" as Arthurk said.
