ness and enters upon th. fourth night with
the . park of life still burning dimly. Tie re
has lad b-en a material development in
her cay.- today. Her condition has con
tinued one of stead .y wasting away, the
const lution growing weaker hourly under
Hie assault of th.- disease.

and some' m.’s feeling that it had come
j-. ti:.- patient was seized with sinking
spills, siidi as they yesterday ni -took
lot a second stroke of paralysis.
During these ati i -k •: sm would pere. oti

the most part these spells Wt-re l.miltd lo
half an I,our. and when ih y were over,
she would r. sume th. quiet repose chat -

i acter Stic of the entire illness. About tne
{ middle of the afternoon, however, a more
I serious sinking spell occurred and lasted
for two hours. Several times those keep
ing vigil thought the last Hutter of lite’s
Panto had come. The attack p i-s. .1 ■
' away at last, leaving the patient almost i
the same as before it occurred.
There s still a possibility that she may l
sutvlve the night, or < ven longer, lut '
those who have been at. the bedside most
constantly have the least hope of such a j
result. They have seen the patient weaken I
: so si.adliy that they cannot hope Uiat .
