The powders removed all the grocer's feverish symptoms, and when Doctor Hodges made his appearance the next day, he found him dressed, and ready to go downstairs.

Having received the physician's congratulations on his entire recovery, Mr.Bloundel inquired from him when he thought he might with entire safety open his shop.

Hodges considered for a moment, and then replied, "I do not see any great risk in doing so now, but I would advise you to defer the step for a fortnight.

I would, also, recommend you to take the whole of your family for a short time into the country.
Pure air and change of scene are absolutely necessary after their long confinement." "Farmer Wingfield, of Kensal-Green, who sheltered us on our way down to Ashdown Park, will, I am sure, receive you," observed Leonard.
"If so, you cannot go to a better place," rejoined the physician.
"I will think of it," returned Mr.Bloundel.And leading the way downstairs, he was welcomed by his wife and children with the warmest demonstrations of delight.
"My fears, you perceive, were groundless," he remarked to Mrs.Bloundel.
"Heaven be praised, they were so!" she rejoined.

"But I entreat you not to go forth again till all danger is at an end." "Rest assured I will not," he answered.
