NIHILIST ASSASSIN.

could be done under the circumstances to
relieve the sufferer. Upon examination it
was found that one of the blood vessels lead

attending physicians gave it as their opinion
that should the ruptured vessel heal and the
flow Of blood stop the patient will slo% ly
recover; if not, he may linger for DAYS,
probably weeks. One side of the body is
paralYzed, also the opposite side of the face
