who is now doing business in Detroit, was
in hospital in Western city. In the
same ward with him was a German who
had something the matter with his intes-
tines, so he had to be cut open and his
whole insides exposed. My brother and
the German were given up as hopeless
cases, and il was considered only a ques-
ton of few days when they would die.
The German was removed to another
part OF the hospital. My brother left the
hospital some time afterward. Each be-
lieved the other dead. My brother came
to Detroit a year or so ago. and you can
imagine their surprise when one day they
met each other on the street. Mutual con-
gratulations followed and explanations, and
then for the first time it became known to
each that the physicians who attended them
and who had given them up were both dead"
