The origin of the disease has been traced
to case which happened two or three

Since then the malady has spread with
alarming persistency. One member of
Parliament who in fit of mental alb
straction took pair of hair brushes
stamped with the royal arms was taken
before the sergeant-at-armS and gently
admonished. but even then the disease
was not eNterminated.
