said, was one of recent discovery and as
Yet no one had been able to explain its
cause or to advance Il cure.

the College of Physicians. said that he

publication on the ground that II was in
violation of the rules of the college TO do
so, but he said that there were at present
IN Philadelphia no less than five or six
well defined cases of acrOmegaly, in
which the head was growing to enormous
proportions and was already of such
dimensions as to excite notice and COM
ment IN public. The victims
OF this strange disease" he said, may be
frequently seen on the street. | have
met two of the several cases reported and
exhibited at our college on Chestnut
street. They are easily distinguishable
on account of their huge heads and elong-
ated faces. The disease is likely to affect
all bones of the body, causing them to en-
large, and the interesting theory is now
adVan. ed that the giants of whom so
much is said and the freaks exhibited at
time museums with enormous heads or
hands or feet are simply victims of the
newly discovered acromegaly. Saddest
of all. of course, is the chronic enlarge
ment of the head, for the growth cannot,
so far as we know, be checked. But
these cases, happily, are rare.n

From the Philadelphia Times.
Swelled heads are not popularity re
garded as sufficiently rare to call for more
than passing comment, yet when DR. J.
w. Van Horn, physician of Williams
port, came TO this city yesterday with a
patient suffering from such an infection
the greatest interest was excited in the
case.
The enlargement of the head with
which DR.. Van Horns patient is afflicted
is persistent one, and it appears that all
attempts to reduce ii or even to check its
progress have been futile
The mans mead has now increased
nearly eight inches in circumference and
is still growing. He is 50 years old.
When he was 81 he wore only a So hat.
DR.. Van Horn brought him here for ex-
animation by medical experts at jefferson
Medical College, where, ii is said a SINH
lar case figured at one of the clinics a
short time ago. The examination showed
that the patient was suffering from ro-
megaly, the term used for a recently
discovered disease that takes the form Of
an enlargement of the bones. The inter
est of physicians in the case is due to its
uncommon and novel character
Or. Van Horn, who was a the Jeffer-
son yesterday, said: People might be
inclined 10 laugh at the idea OF enlarged
heads affording serious problem in med
ical treatment, but il is a fact that thew
are just now among the most pulling
conditions confronting our leading physi-
clans. Here are some of the symptoms
The head begins to swell and continues to
swell, owing to hypertrophy or enlarge
ment of the bones The face at the same
time lengthens. The mental condition
becomes feebler. The memory is poor
and it is a diticult matter TO think. The
patient l have brought to Phila telphia
complains that when he tries TO exercise
his brain he has a feeling as though
something within his skull were scraping
away the brain from the inside OF the
head. 1t is, in fact, an advanced case of
acromegaly. l happen TO know that sew
eral of such cases are being treated by
well known Philadelphia specialists, who
have practically discovered the disease
and during the past winter have lectured
at the medical colleges and written upon
the sub, ect. At a Jefferson clinic at
which | was present a short time ago a
case of acromeRaly was presented in
which the disease nad exercised its great
est effect upon the nose. This member
had attained monstrous size and was
still growing, DR.. Hare, who was lectur-
ing on the subject, said that cases had
been reported in which the ears were
affected in the same way, growing to
enormous proportions. understand that
cases of acromegaly have been reported
recently to the College of Physicians of
Philadelphia and TO the County Medical
Society,""
