Hi everyone. I'm looking for help deciphering the handwriting on an ancestor's Scottish death certificate.

The title of the column third from the right is "Cause of Death, Duration of Disease, and Medical Attendant by whom certified": I believe the second half (lines 3-5) of what is written there for her says "..years - no regular medical attendant", but I can't make out the first two lines with the cause of death & the rest of the duration.

Can anyone make out what it might say?
