a messenger, q short time before. l dressed
hastily and in q few moments We were
rapidly driven to the house of the General.
Upon arriving there we found TIE family
up and alarmed at the symptoms which had
developed soon after DR.. Douglas had left
the patient, q few hours before. There was
no indication, after the General had gone
TO bed and before Douglas had started for
home that there would be any change for
the worse within such q short period. At
2 A. NJ, when he saw the General, he was
much distressed. While he was doing,
thare had been an accumulation of phlegm
in the rear nasal passage and he was
awakened by a sense of suffoeation and d.
ficulty in breathing. The patient became
apprehensive Of the sudden dew opment
Of the new syElptons that we're attended
with . prospect OF serious results and
wanted an explanation of the trouble. He
consequently desired TIE presence OF the
physicians and we were sent for.

Of the throat and found the palate consid-
erably swollen and the throat ia-amed
and congested more than usus,. the ano-

to sleep. The patient got up from bed
when he felt the distressing situation upon

Later the General had four hours sleep.
One physician was present with him all
the time during his sleep and g strict
watch was kept of evesy movement, but
thers was an entire absence OF anything
to occasion any further treatment. Ire
Generals family remained up all night
long, and it was 6 night of suspense TO
them. They were much relieved, how
ever, when the spasmodic attack had
been s4bdued and they were assured that
there VS. no occasion to leaf any return

At 9:45 P. N. the General requested that
