Mrs; Coppinger The physicians have Of
hrlhllN made public the cause of death as
Brlshts disease. aggravated by tubcr-
| :u!ar disease of the lungs, and followed
| by heart failure.
! The following is the official statement
OF the attending physicians as to the
cause of DEATH
The beginning of Mr.. Blaine's ILL
ness dates back some years. The earliest
signs of iii health were associated with,
and no doubt due TO IL gouty tendency
which manifested itself in sllbarnte at
tacks of gout, disturbances Of digestion
and progressive innutltion and an;lcina.
| Subsequent events prove that at this
| time changes were going on in the ar
teries of the body which resulted later
in symptoms of deliberations of vessels
and chronic diseases of the kidneys.
lin December signs of lung colnllica-
| ton appeared. which We're no doubt coll-
Aectcd with the general disease; but as
tuber bacilli was found in tie sputa
it is probable that there was some tu-
! bcrcular infection as well. Much Of the
| distress which Mr.. Blaine suffered was
associated with this disease of the lungs
| and his death w;is certainly FASTENED by
1t. For three DAYS before Mr.. B!ainr'S
death there was 10 marked chaHGc in
his condition, and on the night before his
death he did not seem 70 BE III amy i'm
mediate danger. Towards morning of
the 21th his pulse was observed to be
very feeble and his breathing became
n!uch embarrassed. AS IL result of the
heart failing action ocdciia of the lungs
fering ut IL O'Clock. Doctors Janeway
and Loomis of New York were called
in consultation and rendered important
service by their advice.
