About half hour before his demise
Mcbride appeared to be getting along
nicely. To the sister who was nurs-
ing him he said he was feeling very
we'll; that he had no pain and he
seemed to be in exceptionally good
spirits. u A few minutes afterward, at
about o'clock, he began to vomit.

found that his pulse was very low
and that he had lost consciousness
She hurriedly gave him a hypoder-
| mis- injection CT nitrogylcerine to
stimulate the heart action, but the
drug failed of it's accustomed results

DR.. Lindsey and he hurried to the hos

proved of no avail. The spark of life
was fast going out and shortly after

Life He said that when about Il
