summary

Prayers to mediate against the rubella illness. Rubella (also known as German Measles), is an acute contagious disease that generally strikes children. Before the advent of modern anti-biotics, it was most often fatal. The verso of the title-page laments "due to our sins, many boys, girls...even babies suckling at their mother's breast, were taken."
