A HARD FIGHT
THE STORY OF A FAILURE.

The writer was called TO the phone
by a prominent attorney OF San Fran
cisco who said that friend of his was
dying of Brlght's Disease and that If
we could do anything to send the
treatment and a physician. Both
were sent The doctor 'phoned back
that the patient was at the end OF
q years fight with chronic Brlghts
Disease and was almost q skeleton,
END was IN coma. and that the priests
had administered the last rites. and
that the attending physicians had told
the patients wife that II was only n
question OF hours and he declared
with considerable spirit that he had
practically been called I'm to Sign
the death certificate. The patient,
, San Francisco business man, was In
charge OF the nurses. They said that
nothing had passed into or out of the
patients stomach for twenty-rour
hours: that it 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
a thousand, but started a hard fight
for that chance. Jumping into n car
riage. he went to Wakelee &c Co.'S
procured high twenty-lnch tube and
the necessary adjuncts and returned
for an all nights fight TO keep the
patient alive. After four hours with
emulslons through the high tube the
lmpacted feces were removed and,
as the stomach had almost ceased
functIonlng, the patient was fed and
given both treatment and food per
rcctum. The food and treatment were
administered and withdrawn every
three houre. night and day, The pa
tient was given an alcohol and emul-
sion rub alternately every three
hours. He was given no food by the
stomach for ten days except a little
champagne and cracked ice. The sec
ond day he began to move a little
The fourth day he was beginning to
clear mentally In two weeks his
stomach began to accept chicken and
solid foods, In n month he was walk
ing around the room, and In two
months contrary TO the strenuous
advice of the physician) he insisted
on taking a Southern trip. He was
not as strong as he thought and suf-
fered relapse. The physician was
telcgrnphed for and went South 90
attend and bring him home. but the
trip and consequent relapse was so
serious that the patient expired on
arrival in San Francisco.
This was a battle against trcmen-
6uus odds and IL is our belief that It
would have been won II the patient
had followed the physicians advice
and given up the trip until he was
stronger.
The attorney mentioned who called
! us up by phone was the Hon. Bar
clay Henley. the ex-member OF con
gross and well-lnown lawyer of San
! Francisco His offices are in the Pa
cific Building on Market street and
he will doubtless confirm these facts
! to anyone who may be interested.
We refer to this instance and his
name In connection herewith without
his consent. We could hardly afford
