Asking for a friend...
Subject: Asking for a friend...

My friend is trying to find out what this might mean on a death certificate from 1926:

Does anyone know what J.B.C. on a 1920's death certificate might mean, the deceased was a 21 year old woman. I've looked on the archaic medical diagnosis site.

The death certificate says "cause of death: JBC" and "What tests confirmed diagnosis? JBC."

Thanks everyone!
