Upon recovery the glands of the neck were very much enlarged, and after the free use of iodine, the right one was reduced to its normal size, but the left one continued to grow-very slowly at first, until 1t was about the size of goose egg, which began to press on the wind pipe, causing difficult breathing, and be- came very painful. An incision was made and a large quantity of pus discharged. The gland was removed, or as much as could with safety be taken out For ten years wore a little piece of cloth about an inch long in my neck to keep the place open.

Flames.
New York.-By the burning of the
Starin line steamer Glen Island in
Long Island sound nine lives were lost
and property roughly estimated at a
quarter of million dollars was de-
stroyed.

for all seemed almost certainty.
When the steamer was abandoned
she was flame swept from stern to
stem. and yet the only persons who
lost their lives were those whose es
cape had been entirely cut off by the
fire before the alarm reached them.
OF the 81 persons, including 10 pas
sengers, who sailed away on the Glen
