Judge Durand's Health.

The second week Of the illness Of
Judge Durand closed with retera-
ton of the encouraging statement on
the part of the attendi'-; physician
that his patient is still on the gain.
The remarkable Improvement which
the patient made during the closing
days vi la.st week has not been MAIN
tanned in the same ratio during the
past two or three days, but though less
pronounced than il has been. the inn
provement is steady and every day
brings the judge nearer to the point
from which his ultimate recovery may
be looked forward To with some de-
gree of assurance. His appetite is
comparatively good and he daily
grows just little bit stronger, while
all his symptoms continue favorable.
