I would guess uremia, but to be honest it is a very botched piece of penmanship, and it does look as if the writer wrote something more like "usremia."
My guess would be uremeia aka uremia - kidney disease along with the chronic myocarditis. In that time frame uremeia was considered a type of blood poisining brought on by kidney failure and would have been exacerbated by the CM.
Just because their doc's doesn't mean they can spell...LOL.

uremeia - I did wonder about that. The first e is similar to the e in Albert. The r in Albert is narrow, spiky, so the u in (cause of death) could be an m.
The handwriting is a bit unusual; some letters are broad and rounded, others narrow, spiky, stingy. And yes, any possible match that I found didn't match the spelling of the word on that document. Uremeia isn't even the alternate spelling.
FYI - not a good idea to post this on the Internet - people can use death certificates for all sorts of stuff - you might want to remove it and only scan in the portion you can't read.

The death certificate in question is available online anyway.
Difficult for anyone to scam with really old certs.
Anyone who's died recently has their ssn on the inet within weeks on the Social Security death index. The cert(s) we're discussing here don't even have those.
If you go to Missouri's Secretary of State website, you can find most death certificates from 1910-1958. Familysearch.org also has similar-looking Texas death certificates that you can search. If a family member asked me to remove it, I would, but other than that they would have to take it up with the state of Missouri.
I don't see any SSNs on these anyway, though some do have them.
