colntably tired at times although took an
abundance Of sleep. Then, again, had dull
and strange pains In various partsof my body.
MY appetite was good one day and I had none

skill OF the physicians, 1 kept growing worse
and finally they tapped my side in the vicinity
OF the heart, taking away forty-six ounces of

daughter, who was residing In Paris was tele-
graphed for. Still fingered along for several
weeks, far more dead than alive, but never
giving up hope. One night-it was on the

and so clearly and sensibly did II state the
case that determined totry the means Of

the medicine pnlnown to my physicians
and friends, and took the first dose at ten
O'Clock. At that time ] was suffering in

head to foot and the motion of my heart was
irregular and painful The next morning !
