The souvenirs were the fa bled white (sugar) mice, which were to be converted into horses bya sweep of the magic wand. Mrs. Walton is receiving many compli- ments on her unique and delightfal entertainment. 42 Prescriptions Failed Hood’s Cured Scrofula— Lost 40 Pounds in a Year Clerk of Le Seur Township, Kingsbury County, South Dakota, says: “TI certify that I was sick for four years with an affliction my physician called scrofula.
