He was first examined at the Dr. Hall's Sanitairum at this city and an abcess of the brain was pronounced, he was carried to Atlanta, and was examined by Dr. Calhoun and the same thin was thought by him. He underwent an operation of the head to remove the abcess, but the operation proved to no avail and no abcess was found.
