80 alarming as to shut out all hope. His
pulse ran up to 1870, his stomach becam-
unable to retain even the slightest amount
Of food, and for several dsys his only nour-
isbment has been by artificial means. The
cause Of the relapse Is the ever-recurrisg
accumulation Of pus, which, either from
stupidity or neglect, the surgeons have
failed to drain from the wound. The
opinion that Bliss. the quack who has had
charge Of the case. is miserable pre,en
