ELDER WHITE'S SICKNESS.
By Editor
FROM the notice of Elder White's death in the Review we copy the following paragraph, which will give our readers a sufficient idea of his last sickness:— "One week ago at the date of this writing, July 31, both Bro. and Sr. White began to experience feelings of illness, the symptoms of which indicated an approaching attack of malarial fever. On Monday and Tuesday, Aug. 1 and 2, the symptoms of malarial difficulty became more marked, and the first impressions were confirmed, that it was an attack of ordinary fever and ague, though a very severe one. Wednesday evening, the 3d, they were both brought to the Sanitarium. The treatment administered the 4th and 5th had the effect to break the fever in the case of Sr. White, but not so with him. Friday evening, shortly after the commencement of the Sabbath, it became evident that a crisis was approaching in his case. He sank very low, but yet retained consciousness and ability to recognize his friends, and understand and answer questions. The physicians and helpers belonging to the Sanitarium put forth every exertion in his behalf through the entire night; and by their efforts and the use of powerful stimulants he was enabled so far to rally that it was thought he might recover if another attack could be prevented. But the disease being periodic in its nature, a recurrence of the grave symptoms was feared; and the worst fears were soon realized. At half past one, Sabbath, Aug. 6, he again sank rapidly, suffering, as was supposed, paralysis of the brain, from which time he lost all sensibility and consciousness. In this condition he lingered, the pulse of life growing weaker and the breath feebler, till at a quarter-past five he calmly and quietly passed away."
