1t was stated by a great recorder
Of Jewish history, speaking OF the
land Of Egypt after the seventh
plague had been sent upon them:
there was a great cry in Egypt;
for there was not house where
there was not some one dead"
Not quite so tragic an u%tterance is
true OF our Owl country at the pres
ent time, but certainly it is true that
a great plugueis abroad in ourland;
that tht first born and last born has
been slain in countless households;
that parents and infants, without
regard to station Of circumstances,
have fallen n prey to fell destroyer,
LaGrippe. Never was there a
plague so insidious, Sc omnipresent,
to defy the skill Of the physician
and the strength Of the patient as
this pestilence. 1t does not seem
to spread like an ordinary epidemic;
it seems to spring from the ground
spontaneously every where at once.
1t finds its victim mt midday; or,
like the destroying angel in Egypt,
u%nsheathes its sword to strike the
unwary asleep in the dark watches
of the night. 1t enters the novels
Of wretchedness poverty, and easily
crosses the threshold of wealth and
luxury. Doctors seem to be wholly
unable to prevent its onset, to stay
its ravishes, or mitigate its conse-
quences. l. there ne balm in Gilead?
No successor for the oppressed?
Without hesitating or fear of sue
cessful contradiction | answer:
Yes, there is a preventive for those
who have remained, as yet, untouch-
ed with this diseased cure for those
who are already victims: and a conf
plete and permanent restoration for
those who have already escaped its
clutches with weakened and derange-
ed bodies from which recovery
seems impossible. 70 those who
have thus far escaped this dreadful

and no one need have any fear Of

this treatment is continued. 1t is

there is little or no excuse, for any
