a severe headache. while at Mr.. Crosby $

Neiil, proffered to relieve him and gave
him dose of antipyrene. In about twenty
minutes Prot. Sanford had his attention
| called to TIE fact, by his friends whom he
met, that his face was purple and that he
looked as il he had the small pox His
face changed from red to a purple, then
little yellow blisters appeared on his face
and hands. The blisters would break and
exude watery substance. This very
naturally alarmed Pro. Sanford and he
went to his room, at Mr.. d. F. McClatchy's,
and sent for DR.. II. V. Reynolds. He
subsequently went out in to the yard to
waive his handkerchief to MIR. and Mrs.
McClatchy, who were on the passenger
train just then passing, enroute to Indian
Springs, but he suddenly fell to the ground
in dead feint. Heart action had ceased
and his hands and veins had become great.
~ swollen 1t was quite apparent that he
was IN a critical condition and DR.. Rey-
nolds worked rAanfully with him, gave him
medicine, and soon had him restored to
consciousness. He is now all right and is
out on the streets again. He said that he
lost fifteen pounds of flesh during the few
days of his sickness. He says the dose of
antipyreEe was five or six grains, out it is
the last he will ever take.
