1t did not seem reasonable to think
there WAS anything but death TO re-
lieve her. The doctors informed ne
she had cancer in the lower bowel
and there was no cure for her. She
showed such vitality for n person to
be so near death We Thought there
must be something to help her, and
reading OF others being saved by the

would do no harm, il not some good,

She concluded 20 try it and from the

The game Is to stand twenty rect fruin

the hall may be allowed to be tossed about
