death has been expected at any time
during the past three days and the family
and friends knew he could not last much
longer. Friday night had been bad one
for the sick man and he had several sink

astonishment of the physicians. These.
however, left him weaker and when the
morning came Il was evident his extraor-

however, marked change was

violent diarrhGa ,, and heno,iaee ,ina d;sh dI ~
ice cream and berries during the day.
This hemorrhaRe was SO severe as to COM

imminent danger. DIR. Mallan says that
for some time previous to this Randall
has been troubled with what ne supposea

active form, and il was found that he
was suffering from an extensive ana

was accompanied by severe abdominai
rains and there were symptoms OF perl
