The General had a return of the coughing attack
after IL o'clock, but it was not violent OF

throat that he desired TO dislodge but he set him.

was able to keep from coughing. A difficulty pre-
sented itself the way of removing irritating mat
ter that flowed into the throat from the surface of
the ulcers and the rear nasal passages in the fact
that it was considered dangerous to touch the
membrane in the throat. The patient was SO weak
that he could not gargle his throat with the solu
ton of salt and water and 1t was feared that if he
tried to use il portion of it might flow into the
windpipe and induce strangulation. He became
quiet when it was seen that the cough
ing attack would not prove serious and
asked that his chair be rolled closer

upon the carriages that stopped in front of the
house.
The General remained asleep for half an hour,
and on awakng said that his throat felt dry. Some
liquid food was brought but after nc had taken
two spoonfuls he motioned that it be taken away.
Dr. Shrady suggested TO the General that he had
not taken nearly enough The sick man said
"Very WELL doctor; just as you say y; and the food
being again brought, he ate considerable
quantity. He seemed to be exceedingly weak and
feeble, and showed greater exhaustion than he had
