Thanks, Anita. I think that is the most detailed description of Jack's illness I have ever seen. In summing up, it sounds like the wound simply would not heal (no matter what was tried) after the French doctors had operated on the carbuncle. I wonder what would cause the wound never to heal. It sounds like the problems eventually traveled to his lungs and heart, and he simply grew so weak to a point from which he could not recover. Such a sad story.
