THE Fatal ILLNRss.

! NfHNHNNf fNAftNNfHae
Justice Matthews had been an inyalit
for a year or more, During the wintel
Of 1873, he frequently complained o.
indigestion and muscular rheumatism

from obstinate diarrhoea, from which he
lost q great deal OF strength and flesh,

great devotion 10 work was to q large de-
gree responsible for bis illness, as no
doubt It was, and acting upon the adj
vice OF his physiCians aud friends, who
had great hopes that change Of air
might prove a lasting benefit, he wentto
Massachusetts,, stopping at some time at
Lennox aud then at Nantucket, but he
continued TO lose ground,
During the summer he had several at
tacks otmusGular rheumatism, associated
with high fever, which would confne
him to his bed for several days at a time,
On his return home he began to improve
somewhat, but he continued 10 suffer
from the intercurrent attacks which
always greatly reduced his strength and
flesh. These came ON at intervals OF
three or four weeks. Between them he
would have periods Of marked improve
ment and several times, when DR.. John,
eton was confidently hoping to be able
to get him out, another attack would
PROSTATE him and leave him weaker
than ever.
During last February he suffered great.

iritis. About this time an ulcer OF the
cornea appeared, with an efFusion into
the pleural cavity, which were attribu.

recovered, however, from both OF these
latter complications. For about eight
weeks previous to the final illness he
had been absolutely free from pain, and
his physician and family had ssgreat
hopes OF his ultimate recovery. That
hope was modified, however, by the fact
that, while he had a good appetite and
good digestion, he did not gain in
flesh, although his strength improved
daily, At this time he sat up during a
part Of each day and walked about lis
room and into the other rooms on the
same floor. But about the 4th OF March
he had an acute attack Of high fever,
which lasted several days and which
very much exhausted him. After this
passed of he seemed to be improving,
with a return OF appetite, but a recur.
renee OF the chills and fever, associated
with cystitis, still further added to his |
exhaustion and debility. During all Of |
this time his pulse was exceedingly |
feeble and the action OF the heart was |
sustained only by remedies administered
for that purpose.
Yesterday afternoon he had a pro.
longed chill and high fever which
brought on intense local suffering. This
was followed in a few hours by another
chill, from which he could not rally. He
