g NEW YORK, July 29.-At 1880 last
night DR.. Tanner was suddenly TAX
en- sick. He complained of pain
$ in the stomach and nausea, and
] threw up some mucus fluid. Much
S alarm was felt at first for fear the
l sickness would prove too much for
the Doctor in his feeble condition.
a An alcoholic vapor bath was ordered
i by the physicians to quicken the cir
S cuiatiOn and secure, if possible free
q respiration. After taking the bath
r the Doctor spoke of feeling better
S and after few minutes he lay down
J, and fell asleep. AT midnight he was
1 once more resting quietly, being
e very closely watched. AT 1:30 this
morning he was sleeping quietly
: with his condition in no way
: changed. When last taken, his tenn.
T. perature was So 2-5, his pulse I'd, and
: his respiration 16. AT $50 P. NJ. DIR
Tanner drank eight ounces of min.
r eral water, much against the advice
e of DR.. Miller, under whose care he
o was at the time. He was very i'm.
f patient and restless. He refused Ia
: take his bath until the arrival oi
: DIR. Gum.
: LateI-There was a decided change
: for the worse in DIR. Tanners con.
v dition to-day. He was weaker than
4 at any time during his fast, and his
4 eyes are dull and heavy. AT noon
: he was suffering from pain, though
/. he denied evident fatigue. The
4 symptoms were so alarming during
1 the morning that the physicians de-
:. cided to have beef, extra warm wa
1 ter and brandy ready for emergency
s The Doctor is much troubled with
e | wind on his stomach, but while
: making light of the symptoms, he
: says that If hiccoughs set in he will
e at once break the fast. AT 1 O'Clock
:. this morning three ounces of warm
r water were given him to relieve
e the pain. Four hours later he again
: complained and asked for O few
e drops of peppermint but was re-
/. fused. He then sought relief by
I pounding on his ribs. After his re-
| turn from his usual morning walk
r he was given little ice water and a
: small piece of ice. He soon after
vomited nearly one and a half
: ounces of mucus tinged with bile.
He was weak and helpless nearly
an hour afterwards. At one time
} he took warm foot bath TO relieve
congestion of the stomach by in
creasing activity in blood circula-
ton, yet he thinks he has caught n
slight cold. He was asleep when
i the tbirty-second day was entered on
at noon.
