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.
