just thought sure 1t would kill him,
as it killed our other baby at i've
months old. It would break out in
pimples and scab over. and he cried
day and night. thought that there
was no cure for him at all. His face
would itch and burn so bad that 1 had
to tie his little hands down so he could
not scratch his face.
I'VE began at once to have him
treated until he was seven months old,
and he got worse all the time. sent

fact that there apparently is no will
is causing considerable gossip as
the property, of which there is good
deal, both in Asolo and Florence,
will pass to his wife, who was Miss
Coddington of New York, and from
whom he lived apart for years, owing
to incompatability of temper.
