Never before has our beautiful little Valley underwent such an ex

families wero stricken at tho saino time; it was impossible tQ fiocurg
help as thorn wero more than two hundred casos at ono time. Ye't
out of a total of over throe hundred patients but eight have died.
To tho ficvcrnl women and men who, ignoring their own danger
contracting tho disease, so generously and conscientiously went from
homo to homo, cooking, washing, nursing, splitting wood, carrying
water, feeding stock, in fact, looking after tho ii"cds of tho sjok iij

providence reward them.
Tho woakuess which results from the disease is beyond the com;
prehension of those who have escaped tho liij, and ns a consequence
tho danger of over exertion is exceedingly great, It is devoutjy'hopej
that ovory caro will bo taken by those convalescing to proyept relapse,
