Was He Killed by Doctors ?
Hartford Times Washington Letter

naruoro Times washington Letter.
Since the publication in the February
number OF Harper's Monthly, of the ar
ticle OF Mr.. William F. Carne on "Wash-
ington, as Burgher,'' in which slight
reference was made to the cause of the
death Of Washington, the old fight as to
whether or not Washington was blcd or
dosed to death has again been revived.
Ihere seems to be very large faction
| who believe that his death could have
been prevented If the physicians who at
tended him had been ordinarily skillful.
In proof of this some old letters and re-
ports have been brought to light recently
and made to do duty in supporting the
theory OF malpractice. The testimony
going to show that Washington was bled
more freely than was the practice in those
days when blood letting was the rule, Is
strong. It is also very clearly that he
was dosed great deal more than was
necessary. DR.. T. M. Toner, of this CITY.

and who has confessedly the largest and
the best medical library in the United
States, as well as an unusually large

the country, as connected with practice
OF medicine, has entered the fight with
his usual earnestness. At recent meet
ing OF the Literary Society, at which Sen
ator. elect Garfield, the President, presided
DR.. Toner read a carefully prepare essay on
the subject. DR.. Toner agrees with near
" all the other medical gentlemen who
have written on the case that Washing
toms disease was acute laryngitis, and
he contends that Drs. James Craik, Elisha
Dick and Gustavus Brown. his attending
physicians, treated him properly. DR..
Toner says DR.. Craik stnot only fully
comprehended the character Of the dis.
ease, but that he treated it with Judgment.
and that he and his friends did as we'll
under the circumstances as would have
any of his critics." Some of the physi-
clans who entered into this discussion
years ago claimed that they showed from
all the circumstances that Washington
died from a congestive chill or from NAL
practice, his physicians not being able to

the shotgun principle of every. remedy

He was young fellow in the hard

at dinner, countryman came in to buy
some nuts. He found an article that
suited him, and wanted dozen. Young

A Strange Prayer.

1t was the prayer of duelist. It WAS
uttered in the bright sunshine of love-
" morning in May, as he had the death
bearing weapon in his hand, and stood
with his antagonist before him. The
place did not appear like one where
prayer would be likely to be made; nor
did the duelist, young man of about
"a years of age, named Crawford, seem
like praying man, though he was dis
tinguished by his manly air and gentle
manners.
But things are not what they SEEM"
Beneath show of indifference many
man carries "a wounded spirit;;" and in
this case the inner battle between pride
and conscience was kind of torture
that no earthly physician could relieve.
My friend, whom I am now describ-
ing as he appeared at the turning-point
OF his ife-course, was an only son. He
was the heir of large property in one
of the Southern States, and had wit
messed, in his 18th year, the death of
his mother-an excellent Christian
woman. ~
He had grown up in his native home
amid the excitements of fashionable life.
1t happened one night, after leaving the
theater, while taking wine at hotel, his
glass touched accidentally the glass Of
military officer.
This trivial act became the occasion
of harsh word, a quarrel and chal-
lenge to mortal combat.
Early on the morning of the set day
the combatants, with their attendants,
met at the appointed place. Crawford,
naturally fearless, had already arranged
his worldly affairs in view of the risks
he incurred, and, clearly seeing it's posi-
biGties, he had said, i am ready
Just then his quickened memory
called back the last words he had
heard from his mothers lips, "Meet me
in heaven"
She seemed at that moment living
presence. Suddenly every act Of his
dissipated, wasted life was remembered
as clearly as the events of the passing
week-and conscience began it's work.
1t charged him with being Intentionally
= murderer.
But did he dare to confess the whole
truth then and there? No; he was too
proud for that. At the critical moment.
strange to say, he whispered the secret
prayer
20 God, save us both from blood
guiltiness, and help me to change my
way and meet my mother in heaven"
Without the tremor of nerve he
discharged his pistol in the air, and
was but slightly wounded by his an
tagonist. Immediately the seconds
interposed, reconciliation was effected,
and thus the first part of the prayer
was answered at once.
In this young mans history "the
darkest time of night was just before
day" for the second petition was grant
ed speedily.
He had occasion to visit New York.
where I first met him, in gathering of
relatives and friends. and there, too, /
witnessed his public introduction to the
church, his baptismal oath of loyalty to
his rightful King, taken with an heroic
spirit inspired by his new love.
He became good soldier, bold in
winning recruits, and he would often
say, Despair Of none. If my strange
prayer was answered, who need fail ?"

A CHILD's BURIAL
And the Trouble 1t Created in the Health

Office and applied for permission to bury

Office at that time. consulted with Andy
Hoffman, Secretary of the Health Depart
msnt, in regard to the matter, and it wa.
finally decided to give (hapman permits
Chapman buried the child about ten feet
away from his house.
Nothing more was thought Of the matter
until few days ago Mr.. Pickering
(Chapman's neighbor) complained to DR..
Underhill about the burial. Dr. Underhill
reported it to the present Health Depart
ment and quito little stir was raised.
Mr.. Chapman was notified to call at the
Health Office and explain matters.
he did so, and produced the permit
granted him. The matter was to have been
brought before the Board of Health this
afternoon. but as that Board has been legis-
lated out of existence, it is not likely any
thing will be done aboutit.
As it is in direct violation Of law to bury
the body Of any person within the city
limits, all that Mr.. Chapman will have to
do, will be to resnrrect the child and place
! 1t in some public burying ground.
