Scott had the misfortune to cut his
left knee cap slightly. It soon
healed up and ' he paid little at
ten tion to the case. About a month
ago, while painting oa his house he
knelt down and the knee that had
been cut began to pain him severe
ly. It grew rapidly worse and was
so paintui that physicians were
summoned to attend him. Blood
poisoning developed and for a time
it seemed that his life was ieopardiz
ed. lhe trouble spread up his leg
and into his left side. Many times
he was under the lance and for a
period all ' efforts seemed vain.
However, it is now thought that he
is on the road to recovery, although
for many weeks he has been con
fined to his bed, and it is under
rtor? tv.ste-fs still bedfas.
