Bono Grew In His Brain.

PIrrsBURo. May % The death Of the
Rev. Thomas Pitts of the East End last
week, gives to medical science ons of the
strangest cases ever known in pathology.
An sutorsy has disclosed that the late min
lister had veritable thorn in his brain.
DR.. Samuel Ayers, the specialist on dis
eases Of the brain, conducted the post
mortem When the skull was opened =
bopy plate was discovered. 1t was 2 inches
ia length, I Of an inch in width and had .
very rough surface. II was found occu-
pying psrt Of the membraneous partition
betseen the two hemispheres OF the brain.
The minister died suffering from convul-
sicns which were doubtless caused by the
presence Of this bony growth. This also
explains sill that seemed unaccounisbie in
DR.. pists's erraiic conduct and actions dur
ing the last few days Of his life.
Dr. Ayers ssid he did not believe there
WAS similar case in the history of medi-
cine. As yet he is unsble to explain the
presence Of this strange growth. There is
more or less bone deposit in the brain, but
Why this form Was taken is still uuexplsin-
able.
