The Story of a Failure

The writer was called to the phone by a prom
inent attorney Of San Francisco who said that 9
friend Of his was dying Of Bright's Disease and
that If we could do anything to send the treat
ment and a physician. Both were sent. The
doctor phOned back that the patient was at the
end Of a years fight with chronic Brlght's dis
and was almost a skeleton. and was IN
coma, and that the priests had administered the
last rites. and that the attending physicians had
told the patients wife that 1t was only ques-
tiOn of hours, and he declared with considerable
spirit that he had practically been called in to
sign the death certificate The patient, San
Francisco business man. was in charge of the
nurses. They said that moth ng had passed into
or out Of the patients stomach for twenty -four
hours: that 1t had ceased to act--wOuld not hold
peptonized milk-and that they were waiting for
the end Our consulting physician did not think
that there was one chance in thousand, but
into a carriage he went to wakelee & Cos
procured a high twenty-inch tufe and the nee
fight to keep the patient alive After four hours
with emulsions through the high tube the m
pacted feces were removed and, as the stomach
had almost ceased functiOning, the patient was
fed and given both treatment and food per rec

tered and withdrawn every three hours night
and day. The patient was given an alcohol and
emulsion rub alternately every three hours. He
was given no food by the stomach for ten days.
second day he began to move little. The
fourth day he was beginning to clear mentally
In two weeks his stomach began to accept
chicken and solid foods. In month he was
walking around the room. and in two months
contrary to the strenuous advice OF the physi-
cian) he insisted taking a southern trip. He
was not as strong he thought and suffered a
relapse. The physician was telegraphed for and
went south to attend and bring him home. but
the trip and consequent relapse was SO Sc 1eus
that the patient expired on arrival In San Fran
cisco.
This was a battle against tremendous odds.
and it is our belief that 1t would have been won
IL the patient had followed the PHYSICIANS ad-
vice and given up the trip until he was stronger.
The attorney mentioned who called us up by
phone was the Hon. Barclay Henley. the ex-
member OF Congress and well known lawyer Of
San Francisco His offices are the Pacific
building On Market street, and he Will doubtless
confirm these facts to any one who may be IN
terested. We refer to this inst nee and Ills

above was not strictly true.
We consider the treatment that this physician
used in this case to aid the Renal Compound
