deciphered, thanks to the zeal with
which the different members of the
staff went to work, a. reporter was de-
tailed to interview Mrs. Langdau.
The lady in question received the

local health board and reiterated the
statements contained in the epistle.
She said that the Board of Health

she had a husband who was a post
sergeant in the Philip
pines, but who did nothing toward her
support, and added that her mainte-
nance was achieved entirely by her

A-There is no treatment. If l had
such a case l would call in a consulta- +,

The disease mentioned is often
fatal said the doctor, but there is
palliative treatment which Mrs Won
