TILE HEALTH.QUEST SOUTH.

The weak-lunged invalid's search for health
is 80 often phantom quest that conspicuous
instance of success may tend to encourage de-
spairing patients and their disheartened rela-
tives and friends. Such an experience is re-
corded by Northern woman In the sensible
and deeply interesting article on the aspects OF
invalid life in the South which appears in Lip
pincOH for March. Her husband had fallen a
victim to sewage-gas poisoning from defective
plumbing in Brooklyn house, and although he
possessedla robust constitution free from hered-
itary faint, what seemed at the outset slight
attack of bronchitis proved an obstinate pull
monary disease which his system, weakened by
malaria, could not overcome. For two gears the
fight went on at tho North until extreme ex-
haustion ensued and his case was pronounced

four post-offices have been added to the list
since that date, although many urgent ap-
