It was the mistake of two Brazilian physicians, Several months ago the Rey, Mr. Waddell felt a swelling in his face. He paid no attention to it and it grew worse. A doctor was consulted and an- other specialist called in, The two after & profound investigation declared that he had a cancer and advised him to come to New York at once. ‘There was a boat in the harbor of Raha the day he and his wife consulted he physicians, and Mrs. Waddell pre- valled upon her husband to sall at once. She went back {nto the country alone and he started on the long journey northward. Yesterday he went to the Presby- terian Hospital after reporting to the Presbyterian Mission Board. Dr. Blls- worth Elliott, jr., made an investiga- tion and told the ‘missionary he needed a dentist. The tooth was extracted and the Rev. Mr. Waddell is very much better. ae WOMAN DANGEROUSLY HURT.
