A Martyr to Science

From Appittont Journal.
When, only few weoks ago, the cho1ora was
raging in the snlna Of Berlin, young phystean,
scarcely past hia 30th year. made himself re-
marked by the boldnoss and pe1sIstenoy with
which he entered the infected quartor, and the
apparent rockleBBness with which he exposed
himself to tho coutagion. It ia worth while that
Ais name should bo recorded and we'll remen1-
bored; it was Otto Ohermoir. He had another
object besides that Of relieving, aud, II possible
curing, tho poor creatures whom ho visited. He
proposed to himaolf to investigate, in tho PROS
once OF the living postileneo itsolt, its causeB
and ita development. At laet, tho brave young
aud, with q heroism as far abovo the horoiHm OF
the battlefield as 1t ls nobler to sacrifice oue'a
aelf to save mon than to destroy thonl he re-
solved to test his discovery upon himeolf.
It waB an awful experiment; Obermeir
knew full well TINT he staled his life
ngainst the hope Of oonquerlng the cholera. Oh
tanning from one Of his patients aomo Of the
deadly choleraio germ. he went deliberately to
his room, placed table with penoil and paper at
opened vein In his arm, andinserted the deadly
poison. Ho thought lo had discovered how to
noutralizo 1t !; il SO, man was nlastor Of tho PES
tience for ever more. But he WAS wrong, and
tue error waB fatal. Ho lived seven hours, md
then died but, during those seven dying hours,
tho young horo observed, with scientific exact
moss, the effecta and progroaa OF the disease
upon him, aud one after another ho noted his
observations down, until within the very half
hour when the spirit left tho body. These
notos aro pronounced to have the highest value.
the first Importance and SO tho dying legacy OF
Otto Obermeir may, after all, load TO tue victory
which he condemned himself to aelf-d0Structlon
In trying to achieve.
