resting quietly, and On the whole was con-
| Side.aOly better than g was this NOM
| Jag. He had, however, another chill
during the afternoon to which the doctor
seemed to attach but little importance
| The chills, he said, were caused by III
| testinal disturbances which were the
premature result of overWork and dis
ordered digestion.
The question was asked, "1s he danger.
ously or seriously ill?"
81 don't regard him so," Was the reply.
''He is quite weak, and, as I said, from
over work sud anxiety, and it may be
some time before he is able to be about,
but he sits up in bed, has never for q
moment lost consciousness end has had
several hours refreshing sleep, and l
think without repested and violent
recurrence Of the chills he will get along
without any serious trouble. On the
| whole, he is certainly improving"
