Justice Lester Very Ill

Justice Lester has not improved since he took to his bed a fortnight ago at his home in Richmond Hill with inflammatory rheumatism, to which an attack of jaundice has been added. Yesterday his condition was such that Dr. P. M. Wood summoned two other physicians in consultation. It was thought that he might get well, but it will be some time before a definite conclusion can be reached.
