should DO done with tho latter besides
forcing him to pay tho $4,000 damages
the former asks for causing her hus.
bands death by malpractice.
Photographer Bower knew nothing
about medicine, and nobody ever heard
Of his being a doctor. On the contrary
he was a plain everyday photographer,
However, when Mr.. Fisher became III oil
typhoid fever, Bower, 1t Is alleged, ap.
peared, represented himself 70 DO q
physician, pronounced the complaint an
affection Of the lungs and liver and pre-
scribed for the patient, OF course Mr.,
Fisher died. An autopsy, 1t Is claimed,
"concluslvely showed Fisher had been
suffering with typhoid fever; also that
the treatment by Bower would DO in the
highest degree harmful to a person
suffering with typhoid fever, and that
Bower, in his treatment conducted
himself In an ignorant, unSkilltul and
negligent manner, thereby causing the
death Of Fisher"
This is notan isolated case. Bower Is
