Tho relapse and although we administered The
most powerful restoratives they failed
10 produce the slightest appreciable
effect On the contrary, he con-
tinued TO sink; but as the end
approached his old-time clearness of mind
came back and his mental strength seemed to
increase. At the same time he did not speak.
The members Of The family were all summoned
and gathering around the bed watched with
anxious eyes for some signs Of re-
yival We continued 10 apply the re-
storative remedies. but they had no more
effect than water He seemed conscious of his
condition, hut he did MOI speak. doubt il he
could speak. At half past 10 q was plain 10 see
that he had but few minutes longer TO live.
We could do nothing more. Aud he
showed no signs OF pain we merely watched
and waited His eye grew brighter and it
seemed at times rs il he were about 20 speak.
But his lips did not move. His breathing be-
came fainter and fainter and at just minute
or TWO before II he took one look around the
room, peered into every face, closed his eyes
ana without cry OF pain, aught that would
indicate he was doing more than falling into -
peaceful sleep he died"
