If Bonaparte was the great king-mak-
err of the century, Prof. LedesdOrf, who
recently died in Vienna. was peerless
as king dethroner. He was the great
mad-doctor of Europe. When in 1876
the great powers found it necessary to
depose Sultan' Mourad III of Turkey,
the professor was summoned to Con-
stantinOple. He examined his patient,
gravely pronounced him mad, and there
was no appeal from his decision. When
Louis ii of Bavaria was getting eccen'
trio, and his ministers knew not what to
do with him. the Niennese professor
came to their aid by declaring the mon
arch lunatic. Sometimes the doctor
would be summoned to st. Petersburgh,
where members of the Romanotf family
suddenly had developed an unpopularity
with the ear. And the professor al
ways gave his verdict. He received
enormous fees. 1t was easy work.
