Here is an incident from the South
Mississippi, written in April, 1890,
just after the Grippe had visited that
country. II am a farmer, one of
those who have to rise early and
work late. At the beginning of last
Winter I was OF trip to the City
of Vicksburg, Mss. where I got well
drencaed in a shower of rain. I
went home and was soon after seized
with @ dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until had
to seek relief. consulted DR.. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to geta bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and I caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something. 7
got two bottles of German Syrup. I
began using them, and before taking
much of the second bottle, was
entirely clear ofthe Cough that had
hung to me so long, the Grippe, and
all its bad effects. I felt tip-top and
have felt that way ever since

The report was adopted and ordered
| TO be carried out by the executive
officer of the board.
Mr.. Meyers reported on the proposed
| reservoir at Kalaupapa. He estimated
| that 81 reservoir so feet long, % feet
wide, and feet deep, holding 10000
| gallons, could be constructed, under
| ordinary circumstances, for $1,000.
This estimate not to include pipe con-
| nections, valves or roofing.
The report was adopted, and Mr..
Meyers was ordered to proceed with
its construction at once.
A letter from Mr.. Meyers was read
suggesting that a fine or imprison-
ment or both be added to section 2
of rules and regulations, which pro-
vides that lepers shall not leave the

a fine not to exceed S25 or imprison-

placed upon it,
1t was ordered that President Smith

of opium they contain.
