becomes shadowed with despair, and filled with
the melancholy reflection that tue happiness OF
another is blighted with our own.

this painful disease, it too often happens that

delaying till the constitutional symptoms Of this
horrId disease makes their appearance, such ss
liberated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturnal
pains in the head and limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms,
blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro-
crossing with frightful rapidity, till at last the
ppalate Of the mouth or the bones of the nose

comes horrid object of commisseration till
death puts period to mis- dreadful suffering, by
sending hirn To that undiscovered country from
whence no traveller returns"
1t is q melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
into the hands Of ignorant or unskllful PRE-
