    1. [HESSE] cause of death - translation

    3. Hi Everyone - I have a cause of death in 1811 as "an gallichtem Seitenstich", which I think translates to a bilious side stitch. Does anyone know what it means? Is it gall bladder disease of some kind? I also saw Seitenstich as a symptom of pleurisy. Thanks and Happy Easter, Anita

Does anyone know what it means? Is it gall bladder disease of some kind? I also saw Seitenstich as a symptom of pleurisy. According to William Pepper et al, A System of Practical Medicine by American Authors, Volume 3 p. 483 (via Google Books), "Seitenstich" is the German term for what's known in English as pleurisy, noting that a pain in the side is the most common symptom. Bilious means nausea. Regards, Debra MacLaughlan-Dumes http://sakionline.net/familypage
