my good health. Looking back upon what
ha ve passed through, it seems MS if ! had been
lifted from the grave, and think it my duty to

derived from water baths. It was in Aug, 1864,
when disease developed tselfwith severe cough.
then took medicines, getting worse with chills,
fevers, loss Of strength, and was pronounced con-
sumptlve. This set me to thinking, and finally
determined to leave my business and go to the
Sandwich Islands, having been Informed that
could not be cured. Invent to San Francisco, and
while waiting for ship called on DR., Bourne,
who stated that q trip to the Islands would
probably result disastrOusly, and was unnecessary
as could be speedily cured at his establishment.
placed myself under his treatment, and In one
week was so much improved thought could risk
returning home and do my duty US engineer on
ed, but thought knew better, and returned to
duty. In about two weeks my cough returned,
and kept getting worse, and contrary to DR..
Dournc's Injunction, never to take medicines q;
gain, committed that folly, and soon was SO com.
plctely run down that could scarcely walk; so
as last resort, I concluded once more to try the
water cure. went 10 San Francisco, few of my
friends expecting me to return; in fact thought
my return doubtful On arriving at DR.. Bourne q

q few days began to recover myself again. l

medicine. l have now been at work several
weeks, and find am gaining every day, ord at
present bid fair to be stouter than ever before.
