Abtllt two months ago the same thing
appealed, stubborn as before, and even
in ii worse form if possible. The lady
finally decided to go through the clinic
at Rochester in an effort to find out, il
possible, whether or not there was Il
cure. After eight doctors examined
her, without being able to see the dis

about a year previous, and how she
was never free from the disease until
she gave away the primrose several
months later when she supposed she
was cured.
Two other Cumberland women were
afflicted with the same disease, but
they have ousted the primrose and re-
