OBITUARY. 
ment. Connecting himself with its fortunes in 1870 as Pro¬ 
fessor of Physiology at the old*New York College of Veterinary 
Surgeons, he has labored in its ranks ever since, with no hope 
of reward other than the love he bore to the struggling profes¬ 
sion. First attracted to it by the enthusiasm of the little hand¬ 
ful of men working to implant the true science in America, he 
withdrew from the old school when it was disrupted in 1875, 
and accepted a like position at the American when it began 
its career, and he never relinquished his work until a year or 
two ago, when his son. Dr. John Bertnne Stein, who had re¬ 
ceived his father’s enthusiasm for the veterinarian, took up the 
work his sire had done so long and well. 
Born in Hungary, the son of the surgeon-general of the 
Hungarian army under the famous Louis Kossuth, he came to 
America as a child with his father when the revolution started 
in that country, and was in the carriage with a twin brother 
following Kossuth in the demonstration made in his honor in 
New York City. 
He was attending surgeon to Charity Hospital, New York ; 
wrote several works on surgery, having an international reputa¬ 
tion as a writer on that subject ; was a professor in the New 
York College of Medicine ; a member of the New York County 
Medical Society and the Academy of Medicine. He served as 
a surgeon in the army until the surrender of Lee. A widow 
and four children survive him. 
C. C. Tietjens, D. V'. S.—At San Francisco, Cal., Decem¬ 
ber II, 1897, C. Chauncy Tietjens, graduate of the American 
Veterinary College, class of 1897, died of tuberculosis. He was 
an ambitious student, and studied persistently to attain his edu¬ 
cation, handicapped by the continual tightening of the hand of 
his insidious malady, and, when his object had been attained, 
found that his labors had been in vain, that his days were num¬ 
bered. How sad, at the threshold of a brilliant and coveted career. 
John H. Adamson, M. D. C., formerly professor of anatomy 
in the United States College of Veterinary Surgeons, Wash¬ 
ington, D. C., died in St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 25, from injuries 
received from the kick of a horse which he was treating, and 
resulting in perforation of the small intestines. Dr. Adamson 
graduated from the Chicago Veterinary College in 1893, hav¬ 
ing passed his first session at the New Veterinary College, Ed¬ 
inburgh, Scotland, and was 39 years old at the time of his death.
