ABSTRACT
IT seemed very sweet to Johnnie Northwood to find himself once more in his beautiful, cool rooms in the old house surrounded by trees, lawns, and flowers, to see his father again, and to be nursed back to life by his mother. Dr. Macleod shook his head over the lad’s condition, but said that he would pull him through all right. Fever was not the only mischief in this case. A severe attack of dysentery supervened, and a trouble was set up which in due time necessitated a very painful operation. It is the after-consequences of these terrible fevers which are the most to be dreaded.
