those who were first taken down with the
disease have recovered, and have been re-
leased from the hospital wards. There are
number of new cases, and in all proba-
bility the entire $50 will have the disease.
Aid comes pouring in from every quarter.
The rich and poor alike contribute, the
former from their abundance the latter
from their scanty store-all in aid of this
most charitable Of all charities.
