of consumption. She gave her name as Mrs.
Sallie G. Bowen, wife Of VIM. G. Bowen,
residence, 1S49 Meighan St. Philadelphia.
The case was diagnosed and she was told
plainly that she was in an advanced stage
of consumption. The examining physician
even showed her the Eunken place in her
breast where the cavity in her lung was sup
