be known in the course of time. The
doctor, while clearly showing by his
manner that the situation was not de
sirable one, did not admit that he was
apprehensiye of any serious result, bu
remarked that the future could not bt

recovery from the effect of the parotit
swelling as almost marvellous, and a:
that was one of the most formidable
complications possible, there was good
