Should any such animal bo found to ho afflicted With tuberculosis, it should instantly bo killed and cremated to prevent a Ipread of tho germs, ft would also involve a circumspection of railroad cars fthd steamboats to prevent people afflicted With tubetculosis boarding them. Then, again, a man afflicted with tubwctilosis should not be allowed to marry a healthy woman. Tho same applies equally to a Woman afflicted in the same Way, find still more to man and woman If both of them had the disease.

The latter nobly repaid him by sacrificing his children to cure Amile if bis leprosy by anointing him with their blood. lie bad the delight of seeing Amile thus perfectly cured, and also of having hia children immediately after miraculously restored to life. The friends were buried on the same day in the same grave. Amis was as good as Amile, or. aa we have it, *‘A mise ia as good as a mile. ” Uow the Word “Gypsy” Came Into Via.
