Suddenly turning the subject, he spoke
or HIS HEALTH.
He said that perhaps he had been i'm
prudent in over.exerting himself, but that
he ielt so much better and stronger all
summer that he thought there would be
no risk. He was anxious to finish up his
work, so that he might thereafter take
rest, and await his time to pass a5ay.
like all the rest of mortals. He said that
in New York he called on an eminent
physician, and by him was assured of
entire recovery from the effects of his at.
attack of paralysis. The physician, he
said, pronounced several alarming symp-
toms Of disease of the spine, and recon-
mended the treatment to which Mr.. Sum-
ner had been subjected, which was the
application of hot irons to the back, in
the region Of the spine. After undergo
ing this treatment, and recovery from the
anaesthetics previously applied, he felt
stronger and better, and said that he
thought he would at least be able to
preside at the opening of the Senate, and
perhaps through NEST of the session. He
observed, in this connection, that he had
had long struggle with intense agony in
his spine, before he yielded; that he
thought he had brought every power of
endurance to bear; that no one could
ever imagine the suffering he had battled
against, and only yielded when utterly
exhausted; that he was so utterly pros
trated that he did not think it possible
to revive. He said that at no time was
he without clear perception of every
thing that was going on; that the only
striking sensation he had, independently
of his suferings, was that of excessive
fatigue. He said that he attributed that
to the exertion he was so compelled to
make to preserve the mastery of his will
over his physical suffering. he felt that
if this should yield, he would lose his rea.
son, as the agony he endured was beyond
expression.
