The Emperor's Doctor, Overhauled.
Prof. Gerhardt, acting on the,directions of
case of the late Emperor Frederick, hos
drawn up u report on the nature of the NAL
ady. The report is made public. Tile pro-
lessor says: "r-f =
EARLY in 1887 the German doctors pro-
nounced the disease from which the emperor
was suffering cancerous and decided to open
| the larnyx. Preparations were made for the
operation On May 20, when DR.. Mackenzie
saw Emperor Frederick, pronounced the dis
ease uncancerous and opposed the operation.
Mackenzie then removed q portion Of the
larnyx, which he submitted to Prot. Virchow
for examination, but there is no proof that
the piece taken was actually. of the effected
part. Prof. Gerhardt examined Emperor
Frederick's throat after the piece had beer
removed, and he accused Mackenzie Of having
removed an unaffected part, and DR.. Macken,
zie replied that that was possible. The Ger
man doctors protested against DIR. Maeken
zie's treatment of the case throughout.
DR.. Bergman, in q special report, fully
corroborates, Prot. Gerhardt's statements
and gives the reasons why he Bergman,
lost confidence in DR.. Mackenzie.
DR.. Bergman in his report says
As early as May, 1887, he wanted to opel
the patients larynx and. excise the growth
of the left vocal chord. A small operation
promised the best results. OF seven sucl
operations which he performed in Berlin al
ton of the total e~xtirpation of the larynx
The operation would neither have endan
/ gered the life Of the patient, nor would j
have destroyed his voice, although it Wou),
I:have left it hoarse. At that time, in an intel
ligible voice, Frederick said: cdr. Bergman
this tumor must be removed. If it canno
be done from thsinside, cutfrom the outside.
Everything was ready for the operation
when the plan was vetoed by DR.. Mackenzie
who repeated his assurance that after q fey
weeks of his mild treatment the patien
would recover his voice, and be able to com
mnnd the autumn military maneuvers. DR.
Bergman censures DR.. Mackenzie for defec
tive manipulation of the larynx, for affordint
no guarantee that he ever reached til,
growth, and for trying to shift the RESPONSE
bility upon Prof. Virchow. He also blamet
DR.. Mackenzie for influencing the press
through communications about the detail
of the emperor's illness,
