that very distinct hope must continue to be
entertained. For it is to be remembered
that this is not the final breaking down of n

that uncomfortable heart failure may occur, or
fatal secondary disease may ensue, it must be

afternoon. and he expects to leave Philadel-
pha for Washington at 2:30 tomorrow after
