I can read all the Jorgen Hansen's death entry on page 117, bottom left, except what it says just before his age.  I try to interpret the words and enter them in Google Translate and nothing makes sense!!!  Thanks for your help.  Claude

Thanks to both of you.  Gosh, there was a lot of consumption or TB in Denmark in the 1700's.  Claude
