Case of Daniel P., aged 35, who died under Dr. Addison in 1841, having been ill two years with symptoms of cardiac disease. The impulse of the heart was great; there was a loud bruit with the first sound, and a fainter one with the second. 18. Misc. Insp. Book, p. 166. 1385 Adult heart having foramen ovale partly open.
