impression upon him that no wns

Hero was a worse complication for
mo than Severanco had brought me,
for I was not sure whether Sever
ance's experience had been an halluci

or had been caused by some peculiar
condition in his life. Hut I dared
not tell nnmmond this, for it would be
suro to mako a wreck of him. I had
no recourse but to say to him that he
must hnvc been suffering from some
nervous weakness. Instead of giving
him a drug I advised him to go on n
trip, but on no account to take his
wife with him.
