One of the guards in the West Park said
on Sunday that scores of believers in the
Kneipp treatment were to be seen every
morning walking barefooted in the dew
covered grass in various parts of the park.
Many of them were women. he said, who
seemed very delicate, and who shivered
when their bare feet came in contact with
the frosty dew. This guard may not be an
authority on the science of hygiene or on
any particular form of treatment for the
cure of the ills to which human flesh is
heir, but he has views, and they are quoted
for what they are worth.

Gray moths about it fit and gold wasps hum:

And tells the youngest leaves of days to be.
