physicians who had been In almost

The serious condition OF the president
and the general call sent out gave rise
to a general feeling Of alarm that was
never again allayed.
Desperate measures were resorted

the sinking spell was over by 4

favorable, for the wounds were healing
splendidly. 1t was decided to summon
