Thank you, Bo. Now I'll have to see if the book has a list of the codes. It does! Image 237 has a list. 26 looks like Scarlet fever. I was expecting it to say old age. Are the columns for the age - years, months, weeks, days? I recognize the words for year, month and day, but I'm not sure of the word for the column between month and day. Thank you.
