Over her objections. a ply

that an entire lung was in
volved. She was suffering from
pneumonia. There had been no
symptoms present that might
have alerted her earlier: no

Hard to Understand
Her son said later: Its hard
to understand. There she was in
a large city and in a Well-man-
aged hotel. Good doctors and
good hospitals were within easy
reach. And yet, without even
suspecting she had more than a
cold. she was slowly going out

daughter out of her school or her
life will be ruined, but my hus-

Some terrible things have been
happening in that school and
our daughter insists that she has

I tried to explain to her some
of the pitfalls of dating and

me by telling me that she knew

I am convinced that she gets

up and die of fright. Penicillin,
we have begun to believe, is the

This is dangerous thinking. It
leads to procrastination. And
procrastination often leads to
calamity--in acute infections as
we'll as in chronic disease.
Most pneumonia germs are
