done to ward off the sad result. it
availed not
Specialists were consulted in the
north as well as in the south, and ac-
accompanied by his devoted wife, Mr.
Isaac Travelled from one place to an
other for year, seeking restoration
to health, but the disease was too
deeply seated and its eradication was
impossible
Had it not been for careful nursing,
watchful attendance and the indefat-
igable perseverance in treatment. the
sufferer would have succumbed long
ago to the disease. But love ana faith
and hope were his best physicians and

ments SO mixed in him, that Nature
