cough. l then took medicines, getting worse
with chils. fevers, loss of strength, and was
pronounced consumptive. This set me to

at his establishment. placed myself under
his treatment, and in one week was so much
improved that could risk returning home
and do my duty as Engineer on the Central
Pacific Railroad. The Doctor objected, but
