IN THE HOSPITAL.
Treatment and Conditions Equal
Army Hospitals In the States.

Attorney A. E. Edwards of Nor
gan who is with his regiment in the
PHILIPPINES, was in the hospital in
Manila, on May 11th. In letter to
DR.. Adams he says:
Have tried to avoid it but have
had to give in. My number is II,
and am confined, not to the guard
house, but ward 10, in the First Re-
serve hospital. My ankles got pois-
oned and after trying to stand it in
camp until my feet swelled up SO
that | could not get my shoes on |
had to report it to the first sergeant,
who sent for the captain, Upon see
ing the swelling, the captain said:
Young man, you must go in the
hospital to-day So that settled it.
Have been here two days already
and now show signs of Improvement,
the poison coming out. Whatever
may have been the trouble with the
hospitals in Cuba nothing can be
said against the hospital service
here, as everything is in frst-class
order. The food is good, in fact;
would not receive better treatment
in the States
You, who have all the comforts
OF nome cannot understand what a
luxury it is to sleep in a bed once
more, and have everything pertain
ing thereto clean and comfortable.
For the last three months we have
slept with our clothes on, and gen
orally with our shoes on, and once
in while with a wet blanket My
general health here has been fine
and is to-day. Outside of the little
foot trouble | have never felt better
in my lie.

best methods of the tribe. AS snow

days and as II would be contrary to
all precedent to order big hunt un-
til there was snow on the ground and
ice in the river, the victim had a con-
siderable length of time to attend to
his sore thumbs and acquire a better
understanding of the disadvantages of
being an up-to-date witch, unknown
to oneself and friends.
But this little boy had a better
chance for his life than had his prede-
cessors in witchcraft, for the sudden
rush OF gold seekers toward the Can

into her dream;
