Prevents Proper Action of the Brain ITS VICTIMS BECOME INSANE According to ha doctors who have examined him Harry Rose the actor who shot and killed his wife and who Is now a prisoner In the Tombs awaitIng trial has acromegaly This li one of the most peculiar diseases of the many to which the human physical body Is heir Its Invariable oomparilon Is Insanity and It Is the Insanity through which the attorneys expect to have Race committed to an asylum Dr Walter II Corvley was one of the physldani appointed In the commission to examine Row Dr Conley Is considered a leading alienist and neurologist For nine years ho was on the staff of physicians at the State Hospital for the Insane at Buffalo and while there observed and treated thousands of cases of Insanity Among all of these he says he observed not more than four or possibly five cases elmllar to that of Rose I Acromegaly Is a disease primarily of the brain and then of the bones said Dr Conley to a reporter today In his office itt No 110 West Thirtyninth street It was not clarified until 1S8B but previous to that time It was like appendicitis an unknown thing In medical sclenc although It doubtless exIsted Tho first symptom Is a swelling of the base of the brain known as the medulla oblongata This In a short time affects the bones of the face hands and feet but no other bones They start to prow abnormally This growth Is more noticeable In the feet where the toes soon grow to be as long as the nntrera The facial bones become greatly enlarged and change the entire appearance of the face The bones In the hands extend and enlarge until they are out of all proportion to the rest of the body In the few cues I have seen there hats been no cure As the base of the brain continues to enlarge It cramps the cerebellum and cerebrum sections ot the brain until there Is no longer room for them to perform their functions and the victim beocrnes worse than an Idiot and imbecile They lose all reasoning power Sometimes this Insanity may take the violent form and the victim may be a raving maniac In others he may be docile and without the slightest power to act one way or another He loses all will power I believe that Rose was afflicted with I acromegaly several years ago and that now It Is Just beginning to seriously affect his brain He undoubtedly has the disease A person thus afflicted may live for anywhere from twelve to twenty or twentytwo years OLD MOTHER FOUND SON lie Ilcnil uf Her Irrdlcnment and Soon Hunted Her Up Through the publication In The Even Ini World of the story of the mother
