Dr, Alter Greviously Afflicted.

Monday night Dr. H. N. Moyer, professor of nervous diseases in Rush Medical College, Chicago, came down to make an examination in Dr, M. B. Alter’s case. After thorough and very careful examination he decided that his sickness is caused by a growth behind the stomach. The exact character of the growth can not be determined, bat the probabilities that it is a cancer amount almost to a certainty. If a cancer the case is incurable, if something else, there would be some hope of good results from a surgical operation.
