bit al it-jumped out Of the window aud ran cf,

not larger than mere scratch with = pin, and
nothing was thought off hy The hnnty. In a
few days utter the ohild was attaclel wi,h
spnsms Several Physicians were sent for, and
the dread malady was by this time manifest -
All the remedies kuown were resorted 10, but of
