After rallying from thefirst attack he was so much improved that the family felt quite hopeful.About the 1st of May he was able to ride to the field where his brotherswere engaged in planting corn. But as is so frequently the case, thatdread disease left in his system a serious complication of difficulties,which medical skill and most tender and patient nursing could notovercome.
