He was taken with a hard chill September 3rd, his temperature rising to 104, the fever remaining high until Wednesday, when he became delirious. This condition lasted until the following Monday, when he went into a stupor, in which condition he still repaains. The only perceptible change is lower temperature and more regular breathing. He takes very little nourishment, consisting of diluted butter milk and albumen. The rest of the family are In usual health. Weather fine,”
