The doctor came as soon as possible and prescribed. He feared the shock would be more than his patient in her feeble condition could survive, and he watched her most closely from day to day. So low was Mrs. Cooke that it was feared to attempt to take any of the wet bedding off for six weeks; even after that length of time the mattress was still wet through.
