What is the cause of death?!
Question: I'm trying to find out the cause of death on this death certificate, but it's such a bad copy, I can't make it out.
I'm also not medically-minded, so I'm just guessing what the letters could be. I thought if I asked someone who WAS medically minded, perhaps they would know from the other letters in the word.
Please follow the link to see the picture, but you will need to enter the password "rose". It's the first two words I'm interested in, as after that is the name of the doctor.
I have so far guessed at "Talis Mestuterica", but I don't think that's right. Please help!

I've been looking over this for a few minutes, and I think that second word is mesenterica. Mesenterica has a few definitions from a type of mushroom, to a type of yeast, then I found this site, look under diseases, second definition:

And a link for a quick definition of that:
http://www.drugs.com/dict/tabes-mesenter...
So, comparing the handwriting/letters together with the other words in his signature on your link, and your edit of 10 year old in London way back then, I'd say it looks like it's tabes mesenterica, a childhood form of tb. But, that first word looks like that's what it is, it still looks off.
it say it needed a password in order to get through
I can't make it out either.
I 'see':
INKIS MESLUTERICA
certified by J H Hobutu.
The doctor's name leads me to believe it might be a tropical illness.
Any help?
