Physicians Statement

!tgowing that the public, and es-
pecially the medical profession, would
be interested in a detailed report of
the illness of Dr. Wadsworth the fol-
lowing facts have been gathered from
Drs. Stinchfield and Young, the two
local physicians in charge of the
ease
Dr. Wadsworth had been suffering
from the Grippe and this, together
with the care of several pneumonia
and other serious cases, had left him
in a wearied and run down condition.
He was stricken with pneumonia on
Saturday. January goth. On Sunday
morning he at first planned to get up
and dress but found himself too i'll
to do so and returned to bed. On
Monday his blood count was 1900.
This was considered to indicate a
very low resistance as from $4,000 to
100000 is expected in pneumonia al
that stage of the disease. Treat
ment to increase his disease resist

ance resulted in slight improvement
and on Tuesday his blood count was
about 5000. On Thursday. the sixth
day, the heart developed an unfavor
able condition and from that time on
the pulsations ranged between 100
and 1870. Saturday a very unfavor-
able condition of the intestines be-
came manifest which, by some of the
physicians, was ascribed to toxic
paralysis. All these unfavorable
conditions were combatted by every
known means but little relief re-
suited. The patient became delirious
on the third day Tuesday, and re-
manned so until the following Friday
morning His mind was practically
clear at that time and remained so
except as it yielded to his gradually
sinking condition until his death
about two Monday afternoon, January
2Sth.
1t was apparent from the first that
the case was one of extreme gravity
and this was realized by DR.. Wads-
worth himself as we'll as by those in
attendance. Nevertheless, the lung
area involved was comparatively
small being the lower left lobe and
extending to the margin of the upper
left The temperature was also at
no time excessive for pneumonia. The
heart complications and low resist
ance were the menaoing factors and
with the later developing intestinal
condition proved too serious to over
come.
Eminent specialists. all firm friends
and fellow practitioners of the patient
were summoned Among them, Dr.
Addison Thayer of Portland and DR..
E. S. Cummings of Lewiston. DR..
H. H. Brock and DR.. Seth Gordon,
both of Portland, were consulted by
telephone.

All heavy beef cattle were scarce and

worth l2@ l2Rc. Most of the offerings
were only in fair order, and average tops
were not quotable above 0@l0c Good
cattle brought 7@sc and light cattle

were willing to 60, average tops being
quotable at 6@6hc, with good cows at
5@5hc, ordinary cows at 4h@5c, and
Gamer cows at 4G4hc.
Best beef bulls were quoted at TAO
