your country, which; grieve to say,
she is somewhat fond of doing, the fun |

the mental culture Of children, but ignores,
seemingly, physical development Deformity is
too often neglected, only treated by the faml-
lily physician who has not the facilities, and to
finally end in a sad lasting deformity is the re-
suit. Sending OIL for mechanical appliances or
neglect is vandalism. When we stop to think
