for my health, was sitting in front
of the Briscoll hotel. when from a
carriage hastily driven from the
depot, two gentlemen emerged.
One was an elderly, wei dressed
gentleman Of about sixty, his face
was swollen almost twice its natur-
al size, his eyes and mouth almost
closed. The other gentleman who
was his attendant, stopped to ask
me II could refer him to a first
class physician. ! recommended
him to the one who was then a.ten-
ding me, and at the same time ask
ed him about the disease Of his
friend. In reply he stated that
about three weeks before the had
been bitten BY some kind 81 a spia
er, aud while they had tried the
skill Of the best and most noted
physicians in their section of the
country, none had been Of any adj
vantage to him. About two
months ago a growth had appeared
In the glands in the side of che
neck. This was removed by oper-
alton but soon reapreared. A late
conference of the doctors had re.
ported that he could not live: we
being, however, undecided as to
their prognisis intend to try again.
We are now enroute Il Louisville,
Ky, to consult the specialist, Dir,
Rea of that city. Our tram being
delayed a few hours, we are now
compelled to remain in Austin un-
til evening.
You will not see DIR. Rea in
Louisville, | replied, as | remember
seeing in the Houston Post where
DR.. Rea viii visit Houston Texas
IN a few days, therefore you had
better stop there and save yourself
the journey. What" muttered
the sufferer between lis half closed
teeth "Dr. Rea of Louisville IN
Texas, now fortunate.
They left Austin that night aud
upon arriving at Houston the next
morning, found that DIR, Rea was
due in Houston n day later.
DIR. Rea arriving in due time was
Informed of the suffering and m
portance of the patient waiting,
and he FASTENED to make an early
\ examination of his case.
Without asking him a question,
d.. Rea said to him: ''My dear sir,
it is nay opinion that you have been
bitten by some poisonous insect; it
is also my opinion that ole of your
parents or very near relatives has
died OF cancer aud hat your system
being specially liable to develop
cancer, has only been aggravated
by this bite which has produced a
cancerous growth. With the prop
er treatment your case can be cured
Do you want me to doctor you?"
EYES SAID the gentleman.
No sooner had his permission
been granted than DR.. Rea injected
something into the growth. gave
him something to make him rest
aud then sent him to his room 10
lie down. Being treated in the
same manner the next day, he
started to his home stepping in
Austin for a few hours between
trains. lsaw him again at the
hotel.
He assured me that he was feel
& ing much better and that the Doc
tor hap promised him a permanent
and lasting cure in from three TO
five months, being interested in his
case, | gave HIM my address. Six
months afterwards l received a
letter from him saying that Or.
