We find, and that too without much
investigation, that the grip" ir getting
in its work in Custer as elsewhere and
a large portion of our people are sneez
ing and snorting at a great rate. 1t
seems to be disease which passes like a
wave periodically across the continent
Its ravages are most severe in districts
of low altitude and has never been as
severe in the Hills as it has been in the
cities of the east. Nevertheless it is bad
enough at best, and hangs on like a poor
miner to a rich prospect. We would
like to get rid of it, as it is not adapted
to our purpose. 1t is neither free mill
ing o smelling, and 1t is not amenable
to the process of chlorina' ion or cyan.
ide. We don't know what to do with
it, and can only hope that some beneti-
cient power will take it away as soon as
possible. 1t has always been the boast
of our Custer people that we have the
healthiest climate in America, and when
We look around and see the amount of
sickness in other sections of the coun-
try, we are encouraged to still maintain
our boast, but this thing they call the
grip, is something we never counted on,
and it knocks our calculations all end
ways.

was never followed by that disease
when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
was used. 1t counteracts any tendaDcy
