The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1882-07-07

mentioned. On a section Of the cerebrun
there was the appearance of slight thin
ming grey cartex. The measurment
taken, however, gave depth of 1-16th t.
18th inch in close proximity to each other
! The white substance was almost absolutel,
anemic; the cerebellum and island of Rel
wore both covered on each side.
FIssUREs
| The assures generally presented consid-
cradle depth in many places, as in right
fissure of Rolando, amounting to seven
eighths of an inch; the right fissure of
Sylvas was typical; the left was separated
from the first temporal fissure by slight
bridge deeply situated. Right fissure oil
rolando did not connect with fissure of Syl
vas; the left was separated only by small
bridge deeply situated. and both separated
from longitudinal fissure. The first from
tel fissure on the right side was not con-
nected with that of Rolando, but that of
posterior part was crossed by secondary
fissure the same on left side, except that
fissure was crossed by small bridge near
its center The second and third frontel
assures presented nothing remarkable.
There~were numerous secondary assures.
each side were well defined and were un-
connected with other assures. The inter
praetal fissure on each side terminated in
the transverse occipital
separted only by slight bridge. The
parieto-occiptal was well marked on each
side; the transverse acceptial fissure on the
right side was well defined; it began on
median surface and extended well out
ward. The first temporal fssure was well
developed on the right side, on the left it
was not of the usual length; werrickes
fissure was well marked on the left side
but not conf1uent; the callosa marginal fis-
sure was double on each side, the upper
of the two being probably the true one;
on the right the upper one extended back
to anterior margin of paricentral lobule
on the left not quite so far; the lower one
extended on the right side to the line about.
one-half inch in front of the parieto-occipital
issure from which it was separated by a
small bridge ON the left side also by
bridge of longer size; on or bital surface on
the right side were seven assures radiating
from the circular f1ssure surrounding small
isolated convolution on the left side and
five assures radiating from a small shall
low depression; the left collateral fissure
was well defined extending to anterior ex-
tremity of temporal lobe; the right was
also well marked but did not extend so far
back as the other and there was an at
tempt at confluence anteriorly with temp
small bridge intervening;
the left temporo- -occipital fssure was
defined the convolutions. The following
alone call for remark, the ascending from
tai well defined On each side ;the ascending
frontal on right side was well developed in
its lower three-fourth but narrowed in
upper fourth. On the left side the narrow
ing was less marked the island of Rel
presented the right side with five assures
and six straight gyri, on the left side
fisures and eight straight gyri. The para
central lobule was well marked on the right
side; swell on left.
THoRAX AND ABDOMEN.
The usual median incision was
made, and the abdomen opened. There
was extravation of bloodin the right
pectoralis major muscle, near the sec
ond rib. The adipose layer of the
abdominal section was one inch thick.
The dome of the diaphram extended up to
the fourth rib. On either side there were
old pleuratic abhesions at the apex of the
right lung. The upper and middle lobes
were congenitally limited by connective
tissues. The lung was normal throughout.
There were also old pleuratic adhesions of
left lung to diaphragm and between its
lobes. Three small tuburle like pignaentsl
patches were observed on the upper lobe.
The heart weighed ten and three-fourths
ounces. It's muscular substance was
normal There was
abuncance of fat upon the anterior sur
face and villous patch of pericardites
near apex of left ventricle. The right
contained little blood, just
forming clet. The valves were normal.
The aorta slightly atheromatous for
short distance above the valves. All of
the abdominal viscera presented large ac-
of fat. They were normally
situated. The liver was congested. The
gall bladder contained little bile. The
speen was lobulated and enlarged, and
weighed 18 ounces. The capsule was
blush, substance brown. The malpig
bean bodies hypertrophied. The pancrcas
was normal: the stomach contained food;
The intestines appeared normal but were
not opened. The kidneys were congested;
here was small superficial cyst on right
0ne.
1. a cons ;derable quantity of dark
blood ran out of the heart in separating
he heart and lung
g. DR.. Young says that the man was
subject to malarial attacks while in jail.
8. He had eaten dinner about an hour
before the execution.
