The brain is inclosed in a bony sphere

Physicians who have cover hncl much
experience with the br in , never hav
ing had a case of it In th if own families
not studltel ita habits in other
fo pie , frequently make an erroneous
diagnosis here a patient Millering from
brain trouble. I once knew a young
doctor , who has slnco resigned Las lucra
tive practice in order to accept a h'galy '
rotponaiblo position as clmnbormaid in a
largo livery t table , to make a mistake of
this kind. Tha patient wai a German ,
who wai unconscious at tha time the
doctor was called. The latter felt the
pulse , examined the tongua , wrote oat
thrca pieseiipti > ns on different drug
ttoras for medicine to encourage zeal on
the part of the liver and wont away.
The coroner was to expert In cases of
this kind , bat ho went at it on the theory
ttat the brain hai been affected and
triced op the sjiuptoma till lie showed
the jury tbat it wen a casa of quick
coupling pin on the bra'n. ' It seems
tbat the patient had been exposed at a
salcoa on A ttieat , anel this was fol'owed
in quick succession by coma , semi-colon
