Of a political nature we're ever laid

acquired what Is popularity known as
a "swelled head" She never made
any p~reteuse OF being other than she
was. and perhaps this accounts more
than anything else for the fact hat
Charles loved her throughout his en-.

Nell's two sons were given titles
and amply provided for by Charles.
Although Nell demanded very little
for herself. she did demand recogni.

possessed to be in her position.

teeth get loose.
You can see that the pus poured out from the
diseased tissues in this region must be swallowed.
Taken into the stomach, the infection is carried
TO other parts of the body.
No matter what may be the location Of the
tissues where pus is produced, every part of the
body is in danger while there is pus anywhere:
Every person who has pyorrhoea is in danger Of
other ailments, each Of which may be worse than
the first trouble.
I doubt IL the gums would be attacked by this
disease if there were not a lowering of resistance

those who obey her rules. On the other hand,
she IS very resentful Of disobedience.
Before considering what may be done IN the
