About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1872. Excerpt: ... Chap. XV. Illness of M. Fauvel. 287 CHAPTER XV. SARATOGA AND RETURN. 6th August, 1867.--I am writing to you from the sick-bed of a dear friend. I should like to have told you of all our interesting excursions; of New York, that immense city of three million inhabitants, cut at right angles by its avenues and thousands of streets named after numbers; of Washington, with its fine marble Capitol and its palaces, where we have seen the President of the American Republic; of Niagara, where I was immensely struck with the fall of an entire river; and finally of Troy, Paris, and Syracuse in America. But I do not doubt that you already know these places from a thousand former accounts. Besides, we are suffering just now from too poignant an anxiety; we count the seconds by the beating of our hearts! Our dear friend Fauvel is in tortures with junglefever, the seeds of which were sown in the poisonous swamps of Panama. We cannot yet believe in his danger, and yet every hour the poison seems to take more effect; the physician has given him repeated doses of quinine, but the illness is so severe that we are trembling in indescribable terror. 13th August, 1867.--Alas! notwithstanding the assiduous care of the Saratoga physician, notwithstanding the science of Mr. 0. White, the best doctor in New York, our beloved patient has been losing strength for the last week; the cerebral congestion has taken such hold upon him that all remedies are powerless. We have not left him for a moment, rubbing him constantly with warm cloths; we try to preserve a ray of hope, though science speaks to us each hour of despair! Good heavens! what agonies are these! this poor suffering body covered with cold sweat is nothing but a mass of disease; a nervous trembling agitates his wasted limb...
