Lyman Bancroft
POST MORTEM
Two post-mortem examinations were held recently by Drs. Miller and Marr. The first, Christmas day, on the body of Lyman Bancroft, a young man aged about 28, who was taken with chills, fever and sore throat about two months previous to his death, which troubles were neglected for several days. He then applied to Dr. Green, who prescribed for him and cautioned him against the dangers of neglect. Being relieved, but not cured of the throat troubles, several days after he called on Dr. Marr, who treated him for some time, and then Dr. Miller was called on but none were able to relieve the throat symptoms which caused great difficulty in swallowing, the food or water being expelled by coughing as soon as it entered the throat passing out at the nose and mouth. Certain indications before death led his physicians to suspect consumption as a complication, whiched proved true on examination, as a large quantity of granular tubercular deposit was found in one lung; but the immediate cause of death was decided to be paralysis of the glottis and laryngeal muscles, rendering him unable to swallow, and as the disease progressed, respiration was interfered with until at last he lost the power of breathing.
