control and cure the numerous varieties of
pulmonary disease which have hitherto swept
from our midst thousands and thousands every

to believe remedy has at length been found

How many a weary, longing heart would trace

And watt them still rcsounding to our ears
What multitudcs would thy sure coming watch,
And mourn thee gone in sorrow and in tears
One hour ago in thy soft shadow beamed

That blue eyes holy light cen holier seemed

And thou hast touched with reverence tonight,

Those once jet locks grief changed to feecy white
Changed by the pressure of corroding care.

Americans crossed the Atlantic during that
