You are only allowed twenty days under the act ta check up an an indigent case and the twenty days date from the -time the bill leaves the haspital.t In many cases twenty days aree flot sufficient," declared the coun- "ies clerk.a «'I suppose it takes quitè a whle t checkUp on an indigent patient "àway up oi ne corner of the f township, but an election time if a voter was away up there why they would get up there ta. him and bring him down ta vote in nod time.
