Last summer my little daughter had the dysentery in its worst form. We thought she would die. I tried everything I could think of, but nothing seemed to do her any good.

This season, which, we believe, lasts six weeks, is regarded by many persons as more unhealthy than that which immediately precedes or succeeds it and as being a time when mankind is more liable to attacks from disease through exposure or imprudence in general habits than in any other. If there is no foundation in fact for the belief it is a superstition of long standing. There are even those now who would not for a single moment be regarded as at all superstitious who look upon dag days as exercising bad influence upon everything.

The following marriage ceremony was used by a neighboring clergyman.

If you feel like undertaking a little matter like that, deposit S2O with me as a guarantee that he will be well cared for and take the gosling and light out.” Spain's Greatest Need. Mr. R. P.
