night. His strength was undiminished
and at a consultation early in the morn
ing, 1t was thought he could bear thirt
operation, which was fully determined
upon. So great was the confidence fell
in the patients condition, that tho Prince
Imperial was permitted to return to VOL

homes. There was no reason to appre
bend fatal turn in the case up too A. NJ.
