five weeks and showed all the mallg-

thought by some of the professors to
avail only in incipient cases. The
patient is now out of danger.

favor of divorce. in some cases, took
crack at the New York marriage

hottest human relation. Divorce is
not always a menace to the purity of

What God hath joined together let
no man put asunder. But who knows
what God has joined? Going through
a marriage ceremony and paying the
minister does not make the contract

therefore sinful.
