Max Mcneil is a 11-year-old boy
whom doctors at Stevens Point have
been treating for typhoid fever for
several months because they did not
know of anything else to treat him
for. The case has been puzzling one
and has exhausted the skill OF the
medical fraternity, but yesterday the
mystery was solved, when a dead
snake was removed from the intes-
tines by the aid of a cathartic. The
reptile was greenish in color and was
about a foot long and lartly decom-
posed, probably having been dead sew

we'll, but he is now rapidly recovering.
