That telegram is act nv. of a drama
written by ex-President Arthur's ply

Just such as this is the plot of many
dramas by play-wrights Of the medical
profession. They write the first two or
three acts with no conception of what
their character will develop in the final
one.

The facts are cause for alarm, but
there is abundant hope in prompt and
