MAKES DIAGNOSIS
OF OWN AILMENT
New York Physician Finds There is
No Hope and Retires
TO Die.

New York. April 2O.-Dr. Lorenzo
J. kohnstamm, traveller. philosopher
and physician of more than local repu-
tatiOn. died here in hospital for the
insane. Four years ago he suddenly
retired from a practice yielding thou
sands of collars yearly. He was
member of medical societies in Paris,
Vienna. Brussels and Berlin. and his
strange action attracted attention. Re-
moving with his family to another
part of the city. the doctor disappeared
from the society of even his most in
innate friends.
Two yearslater he called at Bellevue
hospital. where he desired to become
a patient. In 1900. he said. he had no.
ticed symptoms Of paresis in himself.
Without informing amy one he began
a careful study of his case. and hav-
ing confirmed his suspicious, relin-
quished his practice in the hope that
quiet living, exercise and freedom
from mental effort might at least re-
tard the ailment. His heroic struggle
was in vain, and he desired to pre-
pare for death, having settled all his
affairs with that idea in view. The
physician was transferred TO Manhat-
tan hospital. where he remained two
years. awaiting the end.
