who can in the slightest degree assuage their suf-
tering or effect even in the simplest case cure,
Is nailed as public benefactor The citizens Of
Boston are agitating the matter, and the large,
enthusiastic meeting at fremont Temple on Mon
DAY evening was well-directed effort in the
right directions the universal opinion being ex-
pressed that private homes must eventually usurp
