long obstructed tl * € fr ^ e flow and circulation pf tbe blood of life through an ituporiaat member of the community , by that means paralyzing tbe exertions of . tbe whole empire in leaving oue of its important members without its active powers , although , at the same time K endowed with the most exquisite sensibility .
