There is no prevailing epidemic of any kind
Now is the season of dry, hot days and cool
nights which means to be careful about undue ex-
posure your diet and cleanliness of the body, and
over-exertion in the heat of the day. Occasionally
we get Whit of air that carries with it hint of
autumn.

he would have to deal, would be conscientously
protected
