FAILS TO SAVE HIS LIFE
DR.. Conant's Case Vas Pronounced
HopeIess-Epperimentedo on Self.

DR.. George S. Conant. who had an office for
many years at No. 14S East Eighteenth-st..
where he also lived in bachelor apartments. and
who was ifty-one years old. died early yester-
day from diabetes. As his death was sudden
and unexpected, although he had been suf-
ferer from the disease for several years. coro-
ner was summoned but certificate was given
without autopsy.
DR.. Conant a graduate of the Bellevue
Medical College. and for some years after he
began the practice of medicine he was sani-
tary inspector in the Health Department, being
one of the close friends and associates OF the
late DR.. Cyrus Edison. He left the department
to build up extensive practice in the Gram
ercy Park section OF the city.
After he contracted the disease which ulti-
mately caused his death. he consulted many spe-
eialists, who gave him no hope of a cure. and
he took up a study OF the disease. using him
self as the subject for many experiments After
some years of investigation he decided that the
origin OF the disease was in the brain. It was
said after his death yesterday that he had left
a will bequeathing his brain to Cornell UniveT-
sity, believing he might aid in that way in
further scientific investigation OF the disease.
No represent ative of the university could be
found last night who could throw any light on
the subject, but a lawyer who had been exam
lining DR.. Conant's papers. said he had failed
decided by relatives Of the physician whether
his brain should be given TO the university in
the furtherance Of any express wish DR.. Conant
might have made.
