of genuine excitement.

' J fine, full-voiced, far-carrying outcry,

children do. For instance, many adults
contract worms, an ailment usually
associated with children. Sometimes
they suffer intensely and take expensive
medical treatments, without reaiiJ
; r.ing that worms arc the cause of their
troubles. Yet., the symptom.! are tho
