which threatens his health. Competent ply
sicians say that only one of Mr.. Daviss lungs
is affected. and that but slightly. His worst
trouble is a lack of strength, and his friends
feel confident that with proper treatment
and the return of warm weather he viii
recover good degree of health.

success and prosperity.
