Mr. W. M. Deane has been suffering
for several months from Dyspepsia, and has
only now recovered from a severe attack of Dysentery, which has left him much enfeebled. In order to restore his health,
we recommend that he return to Europe to obtain the benefit
of a complete change of climate and scene.
