THE DEATH OF PROF. AGAssIz- Post Kortsm
E1dmiRdfior.-Prof. Agassiz's short illness was
from a medical point OF view, involved in much
obscurity. Dr. Brown-Sequard, who has m ade
diseases of the nerves and brains a speciality,
and who observed every phase of Agassiz's
case from the beginning, declared himself con-
siderably puzzled. DIR. wymsn, one of the
most skillfrl physicians in the country, was also
untiring in his presence and obsery alton, and
agree with DIR. own-SeQuard as to the gre at
difficulty and obscurity of the case. Under these
circumstances Prof. Agassiz's friends readily
consented to a post mortem examination, and
took measures to make il as thorough as possible.
Seven of the most eminent physicians of Cam
bridge and Boston were summoned to the au-
topsy, namely: DIR. John jackson, DIR. Calvin
Ellis, DR.. K. H. Fitz, DIR. James Putnam, DIR.
Jeffries Wyman of Harvard college, DIR. Nor
rill Wyman, who attended Agassiz in his illness,
and DIR. Weber. DIR. Brown-Sequard was un-
fortunately obliged to leave for New York
The examination was held Tuesday, and lasted
upwards of four hours. Careful examination
was made OF the base of the brain, and the
physicians, though yet unprepared to give a
definite opinion, seem inclined to regard this as
the principal seat of the disease. After con-
GLIDING their examination Tuesday, the several
physicians divided their labors and made ar
rangements to continue their investigation
separately conformity as the case may req uire.
