Measles and "German" or "Dutch" measles, while really separate and distinct diseases have many points of similarity. Both are highly contagious, just as much so before the appearance of the "eruption" or "rash" as afterward. If one will consider this fact, he may see how important it is to consult a physician on the appearance of the first symptoms, not only for his own sake but in order to prevent the spread of contagion.

There are innumerable instances to prove that a man may pass admission examinations to college without having ever experienced the sensation of having a thought of his own; he can buy the thoughts he needs at so much per hour. And there are only fewer instances to prove that he can also...
