On the first day of June, 1881, I lay at my

physicians, and fewer people, realize the ex-

stitution before the victim is aware. 1t is
nearly as hereditary as consumption, quite az
common and fully as fatal. Entire families,
it from their ancestors, have died,
and yet none of the number knew or realiz ed
the mysterious power which was removing
them. Instead of common symptoms it often
shows none whatever, but brings death su :
