[APG Public List] Old Medical Term

[Cheryl Brown Abernathy]

I was checking transcriptions that our genealogical society is doing for
births, deaths and marriages from 1856-1857 and came across a cause of death
that intrigued me, especially since two children in the same family died
from it several days apart. What might "kankerd throat" be?

 

Thanks for any insight to this.
