sixty new cases and seven or eight deaths
have occurred that are not included in the

overworked physicians to make up their
lists i'll time.

comes the report of mismanagement and
neglect by the nurses. Mr. Hayes, the pro-
pIietor of the Maryland restaurant, was, it
Is said, allowed to freely drink all the ice
water he wanted. This produced his
death.
