A HARD FIGHT
The Story of a Failure

The writer was called to the phone by a nrom-
inent attorney of San Francisco who said that
friend of his was dying of Brights Disease ana
that IL We could do anything to send the treat
ment and a physician. Both were sent. The
end of a years fight with chronic Bright's Dis
case and was almost a skeleton. and was IN
coma. and that the priests had administered the
last rites. and that the attending physician bad
told rhe patients wife that IL only qucs-
tion OF hours and h declared with considerable
spirit that he had practically been called in to
sign the death certificate. The patient. a san
Francisco business man. was in charge OF IN"
nurses They said that nothing had Iassci INTO
ont Of the patients stomach for twen'y-tonr
hours, that il had ceased tn act-wouh not Doid
peptonized mk-and that they we're waiting for
the end Our consulting physician did not think
that there chance in thousand nut
started q hard fight for that chance. Jumping
procured high twenty Inch tube and the neces-
sary adiunets and returned for an all-nishts
light to keep the patient alive. After four hours
With emulsions through the high tube the inl-
pscted fcccs were removed and. as the stomach
had almost ceased fnnc'ioning. the patient was
fed and given both treatment aud food per
rectum. The food and treatment were admin
and day. The patient was given an alcohol and
emulsion rub alternately every three horrS. lie
was given no food by the stomach for ten days
except little champagne and cracked nee Inc
second day he began to move u little. Inc
fourth day h" was beginning to clear mentally.
In two weeks his stomach began 70 accept
chicken and solid foods In month be was
walking around tho room. and II Two months
CONTRARY To the strenuous advice OF the physi-
clan, he insisted on taking a southern trip. He

relapse. The physician was telegraphed for and
went south to attend and bring him home, but
the trip and consequent relapse serious

This battle against tremendous odds and

the patient had followed the physicians advice
and given up the trip until he was stronger.
