During Mr. Scott's illness, and par ticularly after he departed for Balti- more to undergo an operation, many friends made inquiries as to his actual condition of health. Those who were close to Mr. Scott were able at all times, because of the assurances given by his physicians, and his strong phy sique, to express confidence in Mr. Scott's complete recovery and in the successful outcome of tne operation. While realizing that an operation of that delicacy is always attended by dangers, Mr. Scott's family, friends, and close associates not only hoped for but expected firmly a different out come.
