GENTLEMEN: I beg leave to submit
,,rawith my microscope report on the
lD ,,-sl sealed specimens OF proud flesh
other memantoas taken from thn
az, If MIR. Flannery's mouth. As Mr.
T.nnerv is the mayor of Erin Prairie
~ therefore has 4 worldwide reputa-
a a., 7 deemed it sufficiently important To
,ba world at large, and pleasing to Mr..
Tjsnnerv's family, to publish this report
N the medical journals OF the country.
and have ii telegraphed to the leading
"awspapers at their expense. knowing
that the world at large is hungry to learn
how the audable pus OF an eminent man
anpears under the microscope, and what
Measure it must be to his family to
T,aI the description after his death. |
have lust opened a new box of difficult
vordS and herewith transmit report
which viii be an ornament not only to
tbe scrap books OF Mr.. Flannerv's imme-
diate family after his death, but a price
less boon to The reading public at large.
Removing the seals from the Jars as
soon As had returned from the express
office, poured or the alcohol and reck-
Ipsslv threw it away. A true scientist
does not care for expense.
The first specimen was in a good state
Of preservation on its arrival. | never
saw more beautiful or robust prolifera-
ZION epitherial cell nest in my life. 1t
must have been secured immediately
after the old'epitherial had LETT the nest,
and il was in good order on its arrival.
The whole lobule was looking first-rate.
You might ride for a week and not run
across prettier lohule or more artistic
aggregation OF cell nests outside a peni-
tertiary.
Only one cell nest had been allowed to
dry up on the way, and this looked a good
deal fatigued. In one specimen noticed
4 carneous degeneration, but this is really
no reflection en- Air. Flannery personally.
Viii he has been i'll, it is not surprising
that he should allow his cell nests to car /
neousi, -nerate. Such 4 thing might
ha' Host any of Us.
C.. %. me scrapings from the sore on
the ri 1T posterior fauces l found On its
arriv had been seriously injured and
therefore no5 available. l return there
with.
From an examination which has been
conducted wiz -reat care | am led TO be-
lieve tina me p. ht posterior rafter Of MIR.
Flannery' = no is slightly indurated,
and It is '.-.'-- jble that the north
east duplex 40 It'd gable end Of the
roof Of his noU. nay become involved.
Iwish YOU Noe & ask MIR. Flannery's
immediate relatives, II YOU can do so
without arOusinc alarm in the breast OF
the patient, if there has ever been 4
marked predispos.tioE Jl the part OF his
ancestors to tub-4C.lar gUmboil. | do
not wish to be understood as giving this
diagnosis as fra a. al, but from what L
have already stated, taken together with
other clinical and pathological data
within my reach, and the fact that
minute, lobulated gumboil hactin@ were
found floating through some Of the cell
nests, have reason 10 fear the worst. l
would be glad to receive from you for
examination a fragment of
MIR. Flannery's malpighian layer, show
ING evidences of cell prOliferation. l only
suggest this, Of course, as practicable in
case there should be a malpighian layer
which Mr.. Flannery is not using. Do
not ask him to take a malpighian layer
off her cell just TO please me.
From one microscopic examination /
hardly feel justified il giving a diagnosis,
nor care II venture any suggestion as To
treatment. but it might be as well TO kali
somine the roof Of Mr.. Flannery's mouth
with gum arabic, white lime and glue in
equal parts.
There has already been some extrava-
cations and a marked multifornity. l
also noticed an inhamed and angry color
to the stroma with trimmings OF the
same. This might only indicate that Mr..
Flannerv had kept his mouth open dur
ing the summer. and sunburned the roo.
Of his mouth, were it not that | also dis
covered traces OF gumhOil microbes o.
the sauarnous variety. This leads me to
fear the worst for hir. Flannery. How
ever. il tie gentlemanlv, courteous aad
urbane members OF the Academy OF
Science. oi Erin Prairie, to whom l am
already largely indebted for past favors,
will kindly forward 10 me, prepaid,
another scrapng from the mansard root
OF Mr. Flarnery's mouth next week,
will open another keg OF hard words and
trace this gumhoil theory TO successful
termination il / have to Use up the Whole
ceiling OF the patients mouth.
Yours, with great sincerity, proiundity
and ytrbcsity, Bill NIE,
Nicroscopist. Lobulist and Alicrobist.
