vocate-he goes in on the whole hog theory

Dr. Blunt saw the house on Royal street

looked at the wide eXpanse of asphalted pave

| The fact is that Dr. Blunt seemed to be

streets, the new municipal improvements on

was received by the health officials simply
dumfounded him. 1t is the belief OF everyone

remarked the doctor in a alf-disinterested
