For some time past Mr.. Flvnn had
been suffering with Bright's disease
of the kidneys. and had been doctor
ing III Chicago. The report came ont,
yesterday that he had taken some
medicine which had thrown him into
a stupor, but The attending physician.
DIR. j. X. Hol!owbush. who was called
in Yesterday, says that although there
were some signs of poisoning, vet
these were the results of kidney
trouble.
Last evening DR.. Carter was called
into consultation, and as result.
Or. Hollowbush states. that it is
apparent that sometime during
Wednesday night Mr.. Flynn was
seized with commissions, which were
followed by uraemic coma, which
threw the patient into the stupor from
which it was impossible to arouse
him. Although the case is a strange
one to the public at large. yet it is
not so with the medical world, the
symptoms being those of the acute
form of the disease. The family of
the deceased were disposed to at
tribute the condition of the patieut
to medicine he had taken from the
Chicago specialist. as stated in THE
Argus of yesterday, and there were
evidences yesterday of poison in Mr..
Hymns appearance, and the doctors
so related, but they pronounced these
evidences due to the uraemic poison
characteristic of the disease.
