I agree with Kense. last word def. looks like fever and the last 3 letters of the preceding word are 'tic'. Well done, I would never have made that out from scratch!

The handwriting is difficult to make out on the 1871 census page that labourer Isaac Fincham is listed, so I can't make out what it says in the final column. He seems to be afflicted by something. Any ideas?

(His surname was mis-transcribed as Michae !!!???!!!)
