length found to be lodged in the larynx. just

tracheotomy. The unfortunate man might havo

of chronic Inflammation. This disposes of the
theory that death resulted from laryngeal spasms.
but the problem how the man could retain the meat
in his larynx for two hours and walk through the

formed tho operation and made the postmortem
examination. stated to HERALD reporter that tho
man could have been saved hid he reached tho hos
pital fifteen minutes earlier. Tho excitement OF

Not Symptoms, but the disease.

It would seem to be a truth appreciable

to alleviate its symptoms, should be the
chief aim of medication. Yet in how many
