The surest Preventive.

The most competent authority on
~disinfectants decides that asafetida Is

on the breast and in each armpit will
not only keep off the smallpox, but
cure II even after 1t starts In. A tea
spoonful of carbonic acid poured upon
each bag every morning to soften the
asafetida adds to the effect materially.

one fact stands out which cannot fail to
excite painful emotion. especially in
view Of the s~ulosiss pronounced on his

physicians have recently declared was

record that no was ever visited by Q min
lister Of the gospel. that any religious
service was performed at his bedside. or
