l thought, entirely broken, and never thought
you would be able to cure me perfectly, but thO't
you might be able to do something to ease the
pain in my back and head and strengthen my
limbs, which were so weak that they would al
most give way under me when walked, and to
strengthen my nerves so that | would not get ex-
cited and tremble at every little thing. Now that
you know what l expected, you may judge at my
satisfaction at my complete recovery from those
symptoms, and the removal of those splotches
and sores from my skin, and the ulcers from nv
throat, and the entire stOppage of those ennis
sions which you said were principally the cause
of my sickness.
