From that time until May 25th his cond.-

snecdv recovery was confidently eX-
nected. May 25th symptoms Of relapse
annaared. due to the development or
acute pneumonia. His present alarming
condition is due TO the weakness of his
heart action. and there seems TO be lit

some criticism was heard about the
hotel corridors because the serum in
the pleural cavity had not been drawn
off in the first instance. DR.. Prentiss,

replied.
1T is an established principle Of sur
gerry not to tap for pleurisy until life
is threatened. While the serum can he
easily drawn OF. the cavity retills. not
with serum, however but with puss.
our treatment was TO secure the re-
moval of the serum by absorption"
