His study OF the Heart,

In his memoirs Adolf Kussmaui re-
latcs a curious story of a Heidelberg
banker. This banker was known for
his naughty, forbidding manners; con
sequently DR. Nuhn, the professor OF
anatomy, was much surprised one day
when the banker came and sat with
him in n railway car and, after pleas
ant chat, asked him all sorts of ques'
tions, especially about the anatomy OF
the heart. The next day he even called
by permission in the medical depart
ment and watched the professor dis.
secting one Of those organs. Then lie
drove home and few hours later 1,
became known that he had committed
suicide by skillfully plunging IL dagger
into his heart.
