leave your bed for any purpose whatever
(if it is "flue") [flu] I was told that the
Catholic Priest announced to his
congregation here - that if they
had that disease they must not leave
their beds (to go to the toilet --- no matter

caused Uncle Authur's death ---
He had a nurse but she was deaf
& when he asked her for something
She did not hear so he got up & got it
