A Race For Life
BIT BY A DEADLY INSECT
Train DELAYED Several Hours On Account Of a Wreck

In the spring of 1894, while in Aus
tin, Tex, where I had been sent for
nv health, I was sitting in front Of the
Driscoll hotel when from a carriage
hastily driven from the depot, two
gentlemen emerged. One vas an cid
erly, well-dressed gentleman OF about
60; his face was swollen almost twice
its natural size, his eyes and mouth
almost closed. The other gentleman,
who was his attendant, stopped to ask
me if I could refer him to a trst-class
physician. I recommended him to the
one who was then attending me, and
at the same time asked him about the
disease of his friend. In reply he
said that about two years ago q
growth had appeared in the side of
the neck. This was removed by an
operation but soon reappeared. A
late conference of the home doctors
have reported that he cannot live and
we are now enroute to Louisville, KY,
to consult DR.. Rea of that city. Our
train being delayed we are now COM
PEELED to remain in Austin until even
ing.
You will not see DR.. Rea in Louis
Vile, I replied, as l remember seeing
in the Houston Post where Dr.. Rea
| will visit Houston, Tex, in a few days
therefor you had better stop there and
save Yourself the journey. What
muttered the sufferer between his half
closed teeth, CDR. Rea of Louisville in
Texas: how fortunate"
They left Austin that night and upon
arriving at Houston the next morning
found that DR.. Rea was due in Hous-
ton one day later.
DR.. Rea arriving in due time was
informed of the suffering and import,
ance of the patient waiting and hast
ened to make an early examination o.
the case.
Without asking him a question, Dr..
Rea said to him: 'My dear sir. it is
my opinion that you have been bitter
by some poisonous insect; 1t is also
my opinion that n of your parents
or very near relatives has died of can
Ger and that your system, being es
pecially liable to develop cancer, hat
only been aggravated by this bite
whichhas produced q %cancerous growth
With proper treatment you can bt
cured. Do you want me to doctor you
EYES," said the gentleman.
No sooner had his permission beer
granted than DR.. Rea injected some
thing into the growth, gave him some
thing to make him rest and then sen
him to his room to lie down. Being
treated in the same n the mex
day, he started to his home, stopping
in Austin a few hours between trains
