SO radically, without consulting her friends

Mrs. Cushman also desired me TO say,
that DR.. Hamilton Of New York, treated
her husband during the last six weeks OF
his sickness-and the fact that Hopkins
continued TO write and prescribe all this
time, would seem 10 indicate that he was
ignorant OF the fact that another doctor
had been employed. though it would
seem that his spiritual adviser ought TO
