try and keep us well informed. Wont you Min? I am some like you. I dont think I would be afraid of the disease a very small percent die who have it if they have any care at all. My father had it in California in a miners hut with no body to take care of him and he always said that it was not half as bad as most people believe. Even in Montrall the deaths are about 9 out of 10 children under 10 years and they are mostly french who live in a filthy [maner?] If you folks will only be vaccinated and if you should know of your being exposed just diet eat no meat fat or grease of any kind then if you should have it it wont be half as bad as the measles
