Excerpt from Philadelphia Medical Times, Vol. 8: A Bi-Weekly Journal of Medical and Surgical Science; June 22, 1878 Col. S. M. Z., M.D., aet. 55 years, entered the army in 1861 in excellent health, weight about 190 pounds. In the summer of 1862 had an attack of jaundice, diarrhoea, cough, with fever, known as typho - malarial fever; recovered; had a return of diarrhoea, fall of 1863, at Lookout Mountain, for which obtained leave of absence; again had another attack after Sherman's march, for which granted leave of absence from Savannah, Ga., Janu ary, 1865. While at Gettysburg, July, 1863, met with an accident by his horse falling on him; supposed injury of spine, causing severe pain in back and limbs, for which he was sent to the general hospital at Georgetown, D.C. After the fall he was subject to pain in the back and numbness in limbs. Wife alleges he had a very severe attack of jaun dice and diarrhoea after the war, during which he was not expected to live. I knew the colonel from 1861 until his death in 1876, and saw him frequently in the field and after the war. From about 1867 or 1868 observed his gradual failing health. October 16, 1873, was first called to see him professionally. Found him emaciated; weight 125 to 130 pounds; diarrhoea so incessant as to confine him to bed; passage involuntary, of the consistence of sweet oil, leaving greasy spots on his-bed - clothing. He alleged he passed two gallons of water daily. Had no fever nor pain, only prostration. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
