ex-King of Portugal is suffering from the
same disease and in the same place, with
the difference that the ex-King's mouth is
affected in the left side, while the General s
trouble is on the right" As to the ulti-
mate result, Douglass says that cancer is an
incurable disease, and that the time as to

of the vital powers, and as illustrative OF
this uncertainty, the Doctor said that he
had had a patient who was out horseback
riding two days before he died
