Halleys Comet
Reprinted from the Brazil Times 1910

Those who have been arising along with the sun these mornings are being afforded an excellent opportunity to see the Halley comet at a good advantage. Just why anyone should get up in the morning to see anything else than a comet passes our understanding; yet some people do.

There are those who really believe the action of the comet on the earth is such as to cause a great deal of sickness and unusual number of cases of grip are attributed to the presence of this high-toned” visitor. Physicians laugh in an uneasy sort of manner about this talk, but they do not say all they might about it.
