Marion receives an anaesthetic
for 'these ,x-rays., Tuesday's : or-
deal commenced . at 1:30 and it'.
was ‘about 7.00 before she was
back from, the recovery room: •
Her trouble is 'believed to :be,.
in the :terms of the ` layman, a
ruptured 'blood vessel that is
leaking into , the .spinal fluid.
When the exact source is found,
an operation. will probably be.
necessary to tie: off the vessel,
Marion is in good spirits, and
has the use of her limbs. :Menin-
gitis had been' first feared, but
happily thiswas not' the trouble.
