The original interment records from 1877-1988 that the Potsdam Public Museum has, includes a space for cause of death. Some of the causes of the death are not as common as they used to be so I decided that this month I would write about some of the causes of death. This article is about Cholera Infantum.
Cholera Infantum is a fatal kind of gastroenteritis which occurs in children. It is not true Cholera but has some of the same symptoms. It is also part of "summer complaint" which comprises all of the different diseases of the digestive organs and brain which attacks children during the summer.
