This afternoon lots of people called to ask for news of Mr. Ruggles. I saw D’Oremieulx, D. B. Fearing, and Miss Mary Morris Hamilton. . . . Afterwards George Anthon came in . . . also Dr. Peters. I stated to the doctor what I know of Mr. Ruggles’s case, and his prognosis was, on the whole, decidedly encouraging. He thinks the nervous and cerebral trouble in a patient of Mr. Ruggles’s peculiar temperament (especially after treatment with narcotics and quinine) likely to occur after any acute attack of disease, and not grounds for serious apprehension.
