DR.. McGalliard's little daughter Jennie,
who has been an invalid for SO many weary
mouths, is apparently much better, and the
Doctor has decided only to spend week or
two at some near watering place, instead
of taking his usual summer vacation. Later
in the season he will probably remove the
little sufferer to point in Southern Flor
ida, where she will remain until the close
of winter.
