One from Harrison county says: “Infermattou of the boles” caused the death, and another death was set down as due to “cuberlossus.” Marion county of which Indianapolis is the capital furnishes a certificate which says the death it r eport s was earned f;om “inter ceiedus.” Other counties also have doctors who are original in their orthography as the following shows: Jay county “stlrility; ” J innings county hemoridge”; Lawience county/'ilsiis”; Randolph county, “pulnminsay ptysis” Warrick county, “gastro-eneertis;” Lagrange county, “senila pareeisis”; Elkhart county, “gangeine”; Grant county, “teinicious anemia”; Carroll county, “paulesey”; Decatur county, "mitrilimanprony and rhumantins of hart”; and lastly Orange county caps the heap with “chronic seats titus.”
