The other day DR.. Smith, DR.. Case,
DR.. Blair and several others were sit
ting on the front porch, DR.. Smith
was talking about the brain. He said
that there was a small body in the
brain called the Island of Reil, not
much larger than pea, but its
name was RICHTER Etersis-ad-quar-
tum Ventriculun. Gee that was an
other big word to remember but
got it all right. I was expecting to
see DR.. Case disagree with him but
he kept quiet. I met DIR. Case the
next day over at the Midway, and
asked him If DIR. Smith was right In
regard to the Island Of Reil. He
said he had dissected many q brain
and said the Island of Reil was
there. l then said think you and
DIR. Smith are both wrong for al
ways heard an Island was a body Of
land surrounded by water. DR..
scratched his head and said: The
Island of Reil is only found in per-
sons who have dropsy Of the brain.
The next day I met old DR.. Rewalt
and without giving him the latin
name or tell him where got the
name. said DR.. where is the Island
of Reil.He Immediately said think
it is in the Mediterian or Black Sea.
