PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 23.-Henry Post. 80 years
old. OF 300 Summit street. Camden. has been
hiccoughing for two weeks. and doctors do
not expect him to recover. He was taken Ill
first with 4 heavy cold. which soon developed
into plsuro- pneumonia.
Within two or three days spells OF hiccouGh-
Ing came on. At FIRST no attention was paid to
these. but within two days they had developed
into violent attacks. and his physician, DIR.
knowlton. found also that he was coughing
up blood.
These attacks were SO exhAusting In char
Acter that the physician was mpelled to
turn his attention almost exclusively to pre-
venting their recurrence. In this he had little
success.
To-day however. Post seems to have had
less OF these hccoughing attacks than for any
day since the attacks began. but his suffering
has told so much on his system that he is now
thought 10 be unable to LATHE with his other
ailments.
