Can anyone decipher this?

[Niagara1864]

This is an extract from "Registers of Deaths of Union Soldiers 1861-65" on Ancestry. The particular soldier I am looking at is John H Perry of the 1st NY LT Artillery. For his cause of death listed I cannot figure out what this phrase means, only guessing it is a type of disease. Anyone have a clue? Thanks!

[U]lelliott19[/U] - well done. That was quick and importantly, accurate.

It's the tragedy that kids aren't taught cursive today. It's like showing most of us Arabic, Chinese or Cyrillic. It doesn't mean anything to us.

I saw recently that the National Archives is trying to get senior citizens to volunteer doing transcriptions. Young workers can't read the script and the Archives is afraid the meaning of the documents will be lost.
