irregular and costive. was very low spirited,
ana had such violent spells Of coughing when
lay down at night and when arose in the morn

then would be nearly exhausted, and was entire
~ unable 70 ne on my left side. cannot de-

the time. Ny cough Was 80 very bad Il r.cked
me very much. l al this time raised large
quantity Of thick, yellow, offensive matter, some
times with blood, and Il was generally acc0mpa-
MED BY nausea and furred and thick coated
tongue At the time Of coughing so badly,

in ny back and under my shoulder blade, and in
the small OF my back. and vt times 80 severe that

best Of them; but they could do nothing for me,
and ct that time l Was nothing but skin aud

case, with request for him to call aud see me,
which he did, aud examined me with the resplr

He said in order to do this, he would have 10
