rise he found he was unable TO do so
without assistance. He was taken
home and put 10 bed, where he remain

afterward could only bobble about

human suffering would be prevented,
if parents would begin TO explain to
their children, at the age of 3 or 4
years, the danger which attends cool

the importance of not standing still
after exercise or work, or play, or Of
remaining exposed TO the wind, or of

of pulling off any garment, even the
