Mrs. Hanna Insists on personally at tending the patient much of tho time, but the trained nurse has begun duty. The physicians say that the outlook Is hopeful for recovery, and that, the crucial point In the illness should oc passed in about a week. They say Ihe case Is what Is known as irregular typhoid and is less serious than most cases of that illness. It is somewhat like walking typhoid, which accounts for the recent fluctuations in the fever and general condition of tho patient.
