recent epidemic OF diphtheria in a GER
tain portion Of the Mexican district
here we were unable, on account Of the
open houses. TO fumigate- Instead, we
white washed the walls OF a number Of
houses. and the disease in that locality

be much better II each parent would
be responsible for taking his own child
OF children 70 see the Bell and look out
for them in the crowds"
