O rourke10 tour ours Provence by Peter Mayle i i Fri i i is a follow this adage i avoid overlapping redundancies James j. Kilpatrick Universal press Syndicate a few weeks ago i noted the prob j items of a reporter who took a flying j guess at a familiar ailment and missed. The reporter wrote of a up Korosis of the i suggested that the word the reporter wanted was for this kindly advice i was promptly jumped by John j. Darcy of Fairfield Conn. He reminded me that a cirrhosis of the liver Quot is a redundancy. The fellow who suffers from cirrhosis is bound to be suffering from cirrhosis of the liver for properly speaking he can to have cirrhosis anywhere else. To this comeuppance i responded defensively.

Among them Basic fundamentals hot water Heater invited guests Long chronic illness new recruit and personal Friendship. The associated press has reported the testimony of a live Newsweek Magazine has quoted a the old adage that new wine can to come in old vessels. The saturday evening Post has promoted the a free gift of a Cookbook with every new subscription. The most remarkable citation of a redundancy came four years ago from a publication of the hebrew orphan Asylum association. It appeared that the Hoa had proposed to install a plaque in the gym of . 192 in new York City. The principal was agreeable. He could not have been More agreeable.
