Where life comes from ana what IL /
ID after it COMES no man can tell. This 4
much. however. seems to be generally
accepted-that life can come only FROM |

departure that the idea OF creating life |
FROM nonviial matter was the dream |
OF a fool. and nothing that has hap

Gent Indian name of this stone had
the sound represented by It's present

amethyst was a preventive of and
cure for drunkenness!-Lon Mail.
