Desperate Cases.

Daily Journal lengthy article, which has
since been noted by many of our most criti-

ago more than anything which has ever ap-
peared in modern print In this article he

was done for this great railroad magnate

medicine, and in a way which many claimed

talk. ''You cap-talk; speak out" was the
doctors quickfeply. When from his lips
the distinct words came, Yes, | feel bet
