/ treatment at the famous watering place at
/ Carlsbad. to v hich place he had gone from
/ San Francisco, Was disastrous upon his
system. The water acted strangely upon
Reese's system. and like his bathing, he
went too far, drinking the water to excess,
even having il brought to his room before

these waters had upon Mr. Reese WAS 10

Kursaul hall, near the springs, and en-

lifelong habits of economy probably pre-
vented him from taking l carriage. He
walked all the way 10 the graveyard, and

10 the neglected graves. The excessive
hat, the fatigue Of the walk, and the
emotions called up by the sad rtn!nls-

much for hin. The blood sweiled his
hardened and unyieldinS arteries and
