"A bedroom scene. Joanna Southcott sits in an arm-chair, attended by three women and four doctors. Between her legs is a large tub inscribed 'Living Water', into which water gushes from a tap projecting from under her petticoats. She leans back with extended arms, exclaiming: "Shiloh! let not this groupe dismay thee | Come forth into the World I pray thee!" One doctor, Reece, superintends the flow of water, kneeling in profile to the left on a large volume: '[R]eec's Medical Guide'. In his pocket is a paper: 'Account of Wonderful Pregnancies'. Behind him a second doctor sniffs at a tumbler of water, saying, "This is a very pretty rig! | Nothing but water d .... n my Wig!" Two others talk together on the right, one peers through a microscope into a goblet; the other asks: "What do you see in the water, Doctor!" He answers: "Bubbles Doctr "the earth hath bubbles, as the water hath ['Macbeth' I. iii]". I said it was all my eye." Behind him, on the chimney-piece, are a medicine-bottle and the bust of a lank-haired man wearing clerical bands. Three women stand behind Joanna's chair and in front of the curtains of a bed. One (left) holds out a lace cap, saying, "Doctor here is Shiloh's cap! bless me! why he has got a watery head! The next says: "Pray Doctr take care of the cawl if there is one." The third, offering a steaming bowl, says: "Come my blessed Lady sip some of this heavenly caudle I have made you." In the foreground (left), Tozer, dressed as an artisan, sits on a three-legged stool, corking up bottles of water. He is identified by a paper hanging from his pocket: 'Tozer Preacher to the Virgin Johanna'. In front of him are a basket of corks and a paper: 'Sermon on the Birth of Shiloh', Corked bottles are on the left, uncorked ones on the right."--British Museum online catalogue

Description:
Dennis Sullivan, Private Co. E, 2d Va. Cav., aged 21, was admitted to the Harewood U.S.A. Gen'l Hospital, April 19, 1865, with gunshot wound of the scalp, anterior aspect, over coronal suture, denuding bone of its pericranium. Previous to his admission he was attacked with chills, which continued to occur at intervals of about twelve hours, varying somewhat till April 25th. The sulph. of quinine was freely administered in full doses but without any appreciable effect. During pyrexia, pulse ranged between 90 and 100. April 24 the lower lobe, right lung, was discovered to be slightly congested April 26th the lung was now involved, with great pain in the cardiac region. Upon auscultation the bellows sound was distinctly heard, and occasionally the regurgitant murmur, the pulse rising rapidly from 90 to 156 per minute. Ten o'clock P.M., of same day, patient became comatose. Shortly after he was trephined by Dr. R. B. Bontecou, Surg. in charge of Hospital, when the external table of the cranium was passed, pus was found to exude from diploic structure, upon the latter being perforated, the singular circumstance presented itself, that while the outer table was uninjured the internal was fractured. The opening being enlarged the portion of fractured bone was removed with the forceps, being nine lines in length, and six in breadth. During the operation the patient seemed almost entirely unconscious, in which state he remained until he died, on the next morning, April 27th, 1865. The operator discovered, as has already been anticipated, and as he had correctly diagnosed, that the patient was suffering from abscess of the brain., Dennis Sullivan., Harewood U.S.A. General Hospital., R. B. BONTECOU, Surgeon U.S. Vols., In charge., and What was most remarkable in this case the patient suffered very little cerebral disturbance, never having complained of pain in the head during his entire sickness, and being perfectly rational at all times until a state of coma supervened.
