a malignant sore throat. He consult

worse continually, and then went to
Chicago where he took: a $500 course
of treatment under an - eminent spes

he consulted Dr. Henry: L. Shaw, of
Boylton street, one of the best known
throat specialists in the country. :
"Dr. Shaw told me," said. Kidd to
the Sun correspondent, "that I had a
