Medical notes: 'Both parents of this patient died of pulmonary disease but not till they had reached middle age. The man had been a stone-mason for 14 years, but was formerly a police constable in the C-division (which has the reputation of hard-drinking). He had drunk hard, chiefly, it was said, of beer. In 1874 he had an attack of rheumatism in the ankles, but in other respects his health was not bad till the early part of 1889 when he suffered for 5 months from dropsy in the belly, genitals & legs. During medicinal treatment under which the dropsy disappeared the man became much reduced in flesh and strength. He never had haematemesis or jaundice'
