To Whom it May Concern.

Owing to the reports which haye
been circulated regarding the
sudden death Of the late Mrs. DR..
Wilson, of Greentop, [ feel 1t nay
duty as a consultant to make the
following statement: After learn
ing the history of the case from
her husband aud parents, and be-
ing present as counsel during her
illness, | think death was caused
by Cerebral Embolus' which
came from circumscribed Gan
creme of the left lung. | might
enlarge upon the subject, but a
full description of the case would
require too much space and would
probably not interest the general
reader. However [ am at the
service of any who desire further
information and if they will call
on me personally [ shall be
pleased to explain more fully.
1t is with reluctance that l take
these steps but as the parents and
friends have requested me to
publically express my views. ] do
SO as a matter of justice to myself
and them.
