a Southern port. On Saturday he noticed a small swelling on 
the left side of his neck immediately under the angle of the jaw. 
He pricked it with a pin. Soon his neck and the glands situ¬ 
ated there began to swell. Dr. Mildenberg and the other sur¬ 
geons diagnosed the case as one of anthrax or malignant pustule. 
Soon his body was much swollen from the neck to the waist. 
His temperature was four degrees below normal and at times it 
was impossible to perceive his pulse. He continued to get 
worse, and on Tuesday night he died. He was in great pain all 
the time he was in the hospital. The case was reported to Cor¬ 
oner Burger and Dr. Hartung made an autopsy. By means of 
microscopical tests it was proved without doubt that death was 
due to anthrax. Dr. Mildenberg, who watched the case care¬ 
fully, said the anthrax bacillus must have been in the hides 
which Cooney was handling. There was a scratch on his neck 
and he must have accidentally rubbed his hand on his neck. 
The germ thus found access to the blood. He said that other 
persons might handle the hides for years and escape the anthrax 
bacillus, just the same as hundreds of people escape the bacillus 
of consumption. The result of anthrax poisoning, he said, was 
that all the tissues and the organs of the body became diseased.
