hopeless stage. We cite two cases:

presented a serious case. AS high as
four quarts of water were drawn at a
tapping. He was put on Fulton's Renal
Compound and year thereafter had re-
sumed employment.
Another-Patient six years old, the
son of A. C. Dean, of Oakland, Cal, was
tapped eight times; even had to be
tapped after being put on Fulton's Renal
Compound but the tappings grew fur

seems to have the habit. But you NAV
