adopted it from Suggestions Of able and
experienced physicians. Having been the
only doctor of many poor families living

none to be at all com pared with the above. |

that any treatment has been SC successful

Contagion. The'idea OF contagiOn should
be abandoned. All ths missionaries Who |
have been most with the malignant cases

attacks which all have suffered
from arctic be attributed to great fatigue, !
making the constitution liable to az attack. |
