the lungs, opens the secretions and
aids nature in restoring the system to

The question raises whirlwind of
contradictory answers, and consequent

the English speaking people on the
invasion of their land by Americans as
corrupting their morals, manners and

fact that the English girls themselves
had been wonderfully quick to adopt
the American fiippancy and "just

and proverbs which had been juggled
with until they had become chameleon
