are being used to secure the needed re-
pairs. A physician struck one of the

New York April is.--Dr. Lorenzo j.
Cohnstamm, traveller. philosopher and
physician OF more than local reputation
is dead here in a hospital for the insane.
-Four years ago he suddenly retired from
a practice yielding thousands Of dollars
yearly.
He was a member Of the medical socie-
ties OF Paris Vienna. Brussels and Ber-
lin and his strange action attracted con-
siderable attention.
Removing with his family TO another
part OF the city. the doctor practically
disappeared from the society OF even his
most Intimate friends
Two years later he called at Bellevue
Hospital. where he decided TO become a
patient. Then he explained his retirement.
In 1900 ne said he had noticed symp-
toms OF paresis IN himself. Without In
forming anyone, he began careful study
OF his own case which. having confirmed
his own suspicious. led him TO relinduish
his practice with hope that quiet living,
exercise and freedom from all mental eff
fort might at least retard the ailment.
His heroic struggle was I'm vain and he
desired 10 prepare for death, having set
tied all his affairs with that idea In view
The physician was transferred TO Man
haitian Hospital, where he remained two
years awaiting the end.
