The Ladies' Relief Committee had forward

they have decided to appraise this clothing at
$2500, although in the opinion of many good

nearer $500.

"For years was a sufferer frcm boils, so that
my life became wearisome through their frequent
and persistent recurrence. A carbuncle, which
ultimately occupied space of three or four square
inches formed in the small of my back. During
its progress large pieces Of decomposed flesh were
every day or two cut away; and the prostraton
and general disturbance Of the system were great.
Before had recovered from this attack two smaller
carbuncles broke out higher up, and was again
threatened with a recurrence OF the sufferings to
which had so long been subjected. 1t was again
