The Sunday Morning Malady.
Dr. Koch ' separated' and discovered the bacillus of tubercolosis and Dr. Pasteur those of anthrax and silk-worm disease. But it has been reserved for a Methodist clergyman in Boston to name, if not to discover, the mysterious epidemic that has a certain prevalence over a considerable portion of the Christian world, New Zealand in. eluded, ' when the Sunday morning smiles.' He has named it the Morbua Sabbaticus, and described the symptoms in a recent sermon as follows : ' It comes on about 10 o'clock Sunday morning when the first bell rings. It increases and rages the most part of church time. The patient recovers sufficiently to eat a hearty dinner and read the papers. But it comes on again at seven o'clock and lastß during the evening. I should judge that many of you are suffering from occasional attacks.'
