Medical notes: 'This woman was a native of Munich, who had been in England for two years. She was confined with her first child in August 1890. The child throve well: it was suckled for two months, and then the mother ceased to suckle it because of increasing weakness though the milk did not fail till some time later. Before her confinement she had enjoyed good health, but soon afterwards she began to suffer from spasmodic abdominal pain. She did not regain her health, and finally took to bed one week before admission'
