I am envisioning nothing; what I did was to ask what others envision.
I am familiar with Macnaghtens 1894 writings, but as you will appreciate, they were gainsaid in 1910. Which is the reason that I take an interest in the matter. And I was interested for the very reason that the Gazette...

I agree very much about how the various later affairs should not have had the police looking into them as possibly being Ripper-connected if they already knew the identity of the Whitechapel killer. But what I wanted to know was what kind of documents it was that Abberline was able to present. If you...

Of course that can be argued. But Abberline effectively denies it himself; there is not a chance that he would not have known is what he states. And if there is a single source within the police that many out here would agree on as reliable, then that is him. Therefore, I feel that his claims on this...

Documentary evidence? What documentary evidence?
Going through Abberlines 31st of March 1903 interview in the Pall Mall Gazette, there was something I have not given much thought before. Here are three passages illuminating what it is I´m after:
"You can state most emphatically," said Mr. Abberline, "that Scotland Yard...

I have said much the same for a long time now. Take the 134 years that have passed since the Ripper murders and back down in time the same distance. Where do we end up? We end up at a remove in time where there were still ongoing witch processes in Europe and where the top scientists of the day reasoned...

But even if people "would assume TB at that time", I don´t see how that rules out that it was something else? If syfilitic meningitis affects the membranes of the brain, then it corresponds equally well to Phillips´ description. And I assume that other diseases can also affect the membranes...

Isn´t there also the possibility that the lung disease and the brain ditto were unrelated? Lung tuberculosis and syphilitic meningitis, for example. As far as I understand, Phillips does not say that it was one disease only, he says the lungs were diseased and the brain was also diseased.

Thanks for making the effort to find the figures. Since you were unable to find them, being a medico (as I believe you are, correct me if I am wrong), could you say whether or not hypothermia is a rare or common feature in Tuberculosis meningitis?
Two more questions, if you don´t mind:...

Having gone through newspaper articles from the inquest, I can only find Phillips saying that the lungs of Chapman were in a state of long-gone disease and that the membranes of her brain were also diseased. Does Phillips say more than so in any other source? It is reasoned that what we have is a case...

I also found this study from 2002 (https://nsj.org.sa/content/nsj/7/4/301.full.pdf), where the conlusion says that "In conclusion, fever is a common clinical feature of tuberculous meningitis".
The study also speaks of hypothermia: "Abnormalities of temperature regulation...

I googled "symptoms of tuberculosis meningitis" and these are the first three hits on the net:
Number one:
Symptoms of Meningeal Tuberculosis
At first, symptoms of TB meningitis generally appear slowly. They get more severe over a span of weeks. Throughout...

What the study says is that it deals with "clinical data of 189 cases with 4 cases confirmed with definite TBM, 65 cases of probable (diagnostic score, ≥12 with imaging or ≥10 without imaging) and 120 cases of possible (diagnostic score, 6–11 with imaging or 6–9 without imaging) TBM admitted...

Having taken a look at this report, it seems the patients spoken of (the study is specifically about a single patient, but comparisons are made), who have a temperature fall for various reasons, tuberculosis meningitis being one such possible reason, enter into stages of intellectual impairment and...

The passage referred to, from the abstract: "A total of 89.9% patients illustrated symptoms of acute or sub-acute TBM. The most frequent symptoms and signs were fever (78.3%), headache (89.2%), decreased level of consciousness...
