Their" is one less chance for the
SICK and lntirln. Miss Carrie judd.

crnary and thought more of the dol

replies to these uo!rful lamentations
by saying that the girl VII regularly
prayed for and her head anolntru
with olive oil hit without effect. We
have Il suspicion that the failure WAS
due to the poor quality o. the oil.
which WAS probably old and rancid.
