Sal, was so feeble-minded that she allowed the illicit
relations between these two. Moll's child was born in the hospital
after the mother had been sent away from one Home because of her
horrible syphilitic condition--from which she finally died.

"Our boy Warren's sister Liz with whom the father lived in
incestuous relations, was also allowed to live illicitly with a man
who worked for her father. She was so simple that she talked openly
about her relations with her father and with this man. When a child
was to be born the man married her.

"This is not all, but enough: and sufficient to show what
feeble-mindedness leads to when it takes the direction of sexual
abuses."

Severe Anemia: Pernicious Anemia.--This is the most severe form of
anemia, or the condition in which we have the poorest blood. While this
condition frequently results in death the others rarely ever do. This
condition is not common in childhood.

Symptoms.--There is intense weakness and prostration. The skin is very

iron. Change of air and change of scene are of special importance in
these cases and will frequently cure. The general condition of course
must not be overlooked. The diet, exercise, bowels, habits, should
receive careful attention. Iron should be continued for a number of
months after all traces of the anemia have disappeared.

Pernicious Anemia.--For this condition arsenic is the one remedy
needful. In all conditions of poor blood the most careful attention
should be given to the general heal
