Inc physician who attended Mr.. Nichol-
son IS DR.. JAS. s. Chenowith, one Of the
most distinguished in the city. His office is
at 2O5 West Broadway, where Il reporter
found him and asked about Mr. Nicholsonis
condition while under his treatment. The
doctor remembered the case and corrobor-
ated what Mr.. Nicholson said in regard to
the latter's deplorable condition and about
the operation performed on him at the hos
pltal. The doctor seemed surprised to learn
that his former patient was now almost en-.
tirely well, since he did not believe when he
last saw him, that he would ever be well
again.

elements necessary to give new life and
nerves. They are sold in boxes (never in
loose form, by the dozen or hundred) at so
cents a box, or six boxes for $3.50, and may
