crucial point in the illness should be
passed in about week. They say the
case is what is known as irregular ty.
phOid and is less serious than most
cases of that illness. 1t is somewhat
like walking typhoid, which accounts
for the recent fluctuations in the fever
and general conditions of the patient
The family, it is said, instead of being
alarmed at the diagnosis of typhoid

ing fearful of the uncertainty. They re.
alize the seriousness of the situation, but
feel that there might have been other
developments that would have proven
of much more gravity The physicians
are now making a test Of the condition

matte conditions make the case more
serious one than in younger man, but
the belief is expressed by his family that
he will recover, though he will be con.
