DOCTORS PUZZLED,
BY DEATH OF BOY
Autopsy Nay Shed Light on Leu
kemia. or Malady Fatal to
Frederic Moreira.

Physicians sought through an au-
topsy at Georgetown University HoSpi-
tai today to learn more of q strange
disease which last night claimed a VIC
TIM in 9-year-old Frederic Martno Mo-
reira of near Mclean, Va.
Since the child fell Ill of the malady
last August, on the farm where he lived
with his mother, he has been examined
many times by physicians. surgeons,
dentists and other specialists.
His case was diagnosed as leukemia, o
disease almost unknown in occurrence
here, although its history has been re-
ported frequently In scientific journals.
Little Is known. however, Of the cause
and still less Of the cure. The disease,
doctors say. has resulted almost with
out exception In the death Of its vie
tina
Frederic was brought to the hospital
Sunday. when physicians despaired Of
prolonging his life. He asked to be
taken to mass before he permitted his
mother and her employer, Mrs. F. NJ.
Wise, to place him in the hospital.
Physicians said the child made q
model patient throughout the long or.
deal, submitting cheerfully to examina-
lions which could not save his own life.
but which might be Of value to the
medical science In saving the lives Of
others.
