Hi: Does anyone know what IANITION is? That is the cause of death listed on a certificate of a 5 1/2 month old baby, my uncle. I can't find it in any of my dictionaries anywhere. Even the cemetery personnel didn't know what it was. Certificate is dated 1913. Thanks Betty
>From Webster's Medical Desk Dictionary: INANITION - "the exhausted condition that results from lack of food and water". Would you think provoked by a disease process?
