" What is it?" Then the natural

DR. JOHN M. ROSE'S CONDITION.
Able to Be on Streets Error Regard
ing Disease cf Internal Cancer.
The many friends of Rev. Dr. Jno..
M. Rose, pastor of the .Presbyterian
church of Laurinburg, N. C, will be
interested to know that the report
that he was suffering with an internal
cancer is without foundation and al
together erroneous. Dr. Rose came
to Charlotte Tuesday at the soliclta-i
tion of his son, Mr. H. McA. Rose, oi
this citv. for the purpose of having
a most thorough examination made
bv several of Charlotte's skilled p&y-
Bicians. and as result he was, yes
terday pronounced a well,, man.
It is conjectured that the trouble
which Dr. . Rose had and which so
completely baffled the Laurinburg,
N. C, physicians, was an absess on
the gall" bladder, which following tne
excessive vomiting as result of anaes
thetic; was broken and consequently
the trouble removed. It has also
been suggested that possibly he was
suffering -from an abscess m tue
stomach, which was relieved by tne
excessive vomiting.
It is of course, impossible to state
v. oanc- i nf his trouble, but it IS
positively stated that he has no
cancer and has never suffered witn
any trouble of a malignant, origin.
The Charlotte physicians who made
the examination assured him that tie
would be able to resume his duties
a vsrv parlv date and that so far
as they . could ascertain, he would
never have a return of the, trouble
which was the occasion 'of his re
cent illness.
