THE RECORD DESCRIBES WASHINGTONS END Case History of Symptoms of First President’s Ili- ness Prepared. By the Associated Tress. NEW HAVEN, Conn,, January 11.— A case history, presenting & record of all symptoms of the last illness of George Washington, has been pre- pared by Dr. Creighton Barker, a member of the clinical staff of the Yale Medical School. In complling the history in the form of a present-day clinical record, Dr. Barker said today, he gained most of his facts from the diary of Tobias Lear, Washington’s secretary. Record Would Be Terse. This example of how modern physi- cians would describe Washington's death was made public last night by the Yale Journal of Biology and Med- icine, which publishes it in its current issue: “G. W., white, male, farmer, mar- ried, no children, aged 67 years 10 EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, months. First seen at 4 a.m,, Decem- ber 14, complaining of difficulty in breathing and swallowing, aphonia, soreness and pain in the neck. “Family history: “Father dead, age 49, pneumonia. Mother dead. Remainder of family history vague and irrelevant. “Past history: ‘“Patient had led a vigorous and rugged outdoor life, had had smallpox, dysentery, malaria and pneumonia. After the age of 50 had carious teeth that necessitated complete removal. Eye-sight failed early. There is some evidence of recurrent attacks of iritis, Rode Over Farm in Rain, “Present illness: “The present illness dates from De- cember 12, when the patient, as was his custom, rode about his farm from 10:30 am, to 3 pm. The day was inclement with rain, snow and sleet. When he came in it was noticed that his clothing was wet and snow was hanging from his hair. It being late, he went to dinner without changing his clothes. Retired early, rested well. ‘The next morning, December 13, he complained of a sore throat, but went out of doors marking frees. When he came in he was quite hoarse, but otherwise normal, and read aloud for some time to his family. It was sug- D.

Let 1t go as it came.’ Retired early. “At 3 am.; December 14, he awoke in & chill and informed his wife that he had the ague. He could hardly speak, and breathed with difficulty. While attempting to swallow a mix- ture of molasses, vinegar and butter he was ‘convulsive and almost suffo- cated’ A pint of blood was let, and sal volatile was gently rubbed on the throat. The patienc complained that the pressure of the rubbing hurt him, and it was discontinued. A plece of flannel soaked in sal volatile was bound about the neck. Shortly after 4 am. the patient was seen by Dr. Craik, who found him sitting up bath- ing his feet in hot water. Changing position from lying down to sitting up had not relieved the dyspnea, and he was put back to bed. At this time the patient was feverish. Breathing with difficulty, face flushed, pulse rapid, mentally alert. Chest exam- ination negative. There is no record of examination of the throat. More Blood Taken. “Dr. Craik applied a blister of can- tharides to the neck, took more blood and prescribed a gargle of vinegar and sage tea. In trying to gargle the patient gagged severely and became cyanotic. Inhalation of vinegar and hot water was given, more blood was let, swallowing became more difficult. “Consultation was sought and Dr. Gustavus R. Brown of Port Tobacco and Dr. Elisha Dick of Alexandria vis- ited the patient, advising further bleeding, and it was noted that ‘the blood came slow and thick.’ Late in the afternoon a full dose of calomel and tartar emetic was given. Dyspnea increased. At 8 p.m. another blister was applied to the throat and hot wheat plasters to the leps and feet. The patient sat up for a time, and in full realization of his approaching end gave his attention to various property matters and to correcting his will. “The patient died between 11 and 12 p.m., December 14. He was con- scious until a few minutes before the end, and one of his last acts was to take his own pulse.” =COUGH — due Waves Self Off Pier.

CHICAGO, January 11.—A group of staid Chicago business men will sit down at a banquet at a Loop hotel tomorrow night and see what they can do to get some social recognition for the plain cow that does a good job of giving milk. ‘Too long, they say they feel, have the cows that answer to the name of Bossy been denied places in the social register of cowdom, while others, with names like Princess Eugenie III, have found it easy to win recognition with ! high-class names and aristocratic family history.
