a strange Attitude fer Harry

But both she and ] reckoned with

e the first vacant SPACE near the
hotel he was at the side of the car
he evidently had been waiting for us.
Close behind him was Purnell and a
garage attendant. They both had
received their instructions, / saw, as
Purnell seized our bags and scurried
into the hotel with them, while the
garage man, climbing into the driv-
er's seat ! had quilted, hardly wait
ed for the doors to be closed before
driving off at a smart pace.
Harry Underwood had spoken no
word after his first jovial Hello,
everybody!'-pstently for the benefit
OF Purnell. But with the disappear
ance OF the bellboy into the hotel his
face sobered. and when he had as
sisted Lillian to alight he slipped his
hand under Ter arm and turned with
her toward the hotel. leaving Mary
and me to follow rs we pleased, with
out a word or glance from him,
something entirely foreign TO his
usual flamboyant courtesy.
He was silent IN the elevator also,
as { the rest of US. But when

there Is more or less fever. In
the severe cases there may be de-
Erium.
IL Is a disease due TO m germ,
believed TO be a special form Of
the dreaded ''streptococcus" family.
Whatever may be it's origin. this
disease must be taken seriously.
The greatest number of OF
erysipelas occur in the late Winter
or early Spring. Perhaps the bad
weather conditions. damp winds and
sudden changes in temperature have
their effects. The lowered resistance
OF the body after the Winters con
finement indoors prepares the way.
Ervsipelas or the face and head
constitutes so or 20 per cent OF all
cases. II may involve the face. but
generally II begins on the side OF the
face, spreading from the cheek as far
as the nose.
The skin IN the affected part IS
hard. II appears glazed and shiny.
The color varies from q bright red
20 q darker hue. The involved parts
Itch and burn.
II spreads rapidly. The duration
OF the disease IS usually from three
or four days TO ten days, and some
times longer.
There are certain constitutional
conditions which may predlspose 10
the development OF erysipelaE.
Bri-ht's disease ID the chief N OF
these. General debility On alcoholism
are important factors. Under Ger
tain conditions there is danger Of IL

Anything that lowers the powers

the body that permits such germs 70
enter the system and do their evil
work. In cases OF poor nutrition. In

In the latter cases erysipelas " n
serious matter. In old people and
debilitated persons II ~ much more
likely to be severe than IL ~ IN
young people.
The cases in which the head In I'm.
volved are the most serious. In such
attacks there is danger Of the eyes
or the brain being involved.
Ervslpelas is an infectious disease.
