About year ago a growth of A cancerous nature began to develop on the side of his neck, which gradually became more aggravating and painful, eating into his vitals despite the efforts of the best a medical to prevent The malady finally reached the internal parts of the neck, and then it wsas ony a question of weeks and days when the suffering patient would be compelled to succumb to the inevitable moment which none of us can avoid.
