There were certain things which troubled him exceedingly, so that he could hardly fix his thoughts upon what he read. It was now a gloomy time in Boston. That terrible disease, the small pox, had recently made its appearance in the town. Ever since the first settlement of the country, this awful pestilence had come, at intervals, and swept away multitudes of the inhabitants.
"Why, what a pox is the matter now?" quoth the squire; "one would think I had caught you at " "None of your brutality, sir, I beseech you," answered she. "You have surprized my poor niece so, that she can hardly, I see, support herself. Go, my dear, retire, and endeavour to recruit your spirits; for I see you have occasion."
Toughen your fighters!" And once, when M. Radisson had passed beyond hearing, the governor turns with a sleepy laugh to the captain. "A pox on the rantipole!" says he. "May the sharks test the nerve of his marrow after he's captured back the forts!" In the bay great ice-drift stopped our way, and Pierre Radisson's impatience took fire. "What a deuce, Captain Gazer!" he cries.
Every Catholic will understand how severely the physical and mental energies of priests are taxed during times of fever, cholera, small pox, and the like; but all such epidemics combined could scarcely cause them such ceaseless work and sleepless anxiety as the Famine did, more especially in its chief centres.
Sir Philip Musgrave, that it might appear that they did not exclude any who had taken the Covenant, etc. Swift. Confound their damnable Covenant! Defeat of the Scots army Swift. I cannot be sorry. Respect to a Scotch Parliament, with a pox. Redeem His Majesty's person from that captivity, which they held themselves obliged ... to endeavour to do Swift. Not to do.
This rash hairbrained devil of a friar fears nothing, but ventures and runs on like a mad devil as he is, and cares not a rush what becomes of others; as if everyone was a monk, like his friarship. A pox on grinning honour, say I. Go to, returned the friar, thou mangy noddy-peak! thou forlorn druggle-headed sneaksby! and may a million of black devils anatomize thy cockle brain.
"She would miss you terribly," said he, allowing the sarcasm to pass over his head. "Your son and Miss Crown were boy and girl sweethearts, I hear, oh, please don't be offended. Those things happen, you know, and pass off like all of the children's diseases. Like the measles, or mumps or chicken pox. Every boy and girl has to go through that stage, you know.
"Subhan' Allah!" an exclamation of pettishness or displeasure. The hills not abounding in camels, like the maritime regions, asses become the principal means of transport. This barbarous practice is generally carried out in cases of small- pox where contagion is feared. Fear danger; it is a word which haunts the traveller in Somali-land.
Every jaw was fixed and every eye turned upon the speaker. "Smallpox!" gasped Lee. Gregg resumed, enjoying the sensation he was creating. "Yes, that Basque herder of mine the one up near Black Tooth sent word he was sick, so I hunted up an old tramp by the name of Edwards to take his place. Edwards found the dago dying of pox, and skipped out over the range, leaving him to die alone.
A few are given extra vitamin C when acutely ill, when they have colds or communicable diseases such as chicken pox. Young people require a low dose supplement compared to those of us middle-aged or older, but it should be a broad formula with the full range of vitamins and minerals. "Vitamin 75 Plus;" and "Formula 2" from Now Natural Foods are also good and less costly.
