bad effect on those who are sick, but am
not of the opinion that il has caused any

BILE circumstances and conditions.

tients would be improved by having
them in suitable houses, erected for the

to have suitable buildings for the accom-
mediation of the sick, but L doubt if they
could be gotten ready in time to be
of much service during the present
prevalence Of the disease

sons in camp and mark opposite the name
