much broken, and the prospects in life, 70
one iustverging upon manhood were gloom
enough.
A promising physician in Cleveland
Ohio, advised change Of climate, with
life OF hardship and exposure, as presenting
in connection with youth, possible chance
OF recovery. A removal to the South anC
West, and an astiye, outdoor life for som'
years, attested the soundness Ut his iudg
ment. The scrofulo swellings gradually
disappeared; the system " gradually toneC
itself up; the broken and dispiriIed boy
became a strong and hearty man OF Is;
pounds. There was a respite for fifteen
years. During all OF this time there was nc
sign OF return of the dread disease. As
the future but too sadly proved, however, il
was none the less surely, II slowly, working
In the spring oil 1870, now thirteen years
since, it again put III an appearance, and IN
an intensely aggravated form. First, q
single ulcer appeared upon the left breast;
this was but the precursor Of more than ten
long years OF as miserable and wretched an
existence, with certainly as much Of ply
steal suffering, as often falls to the lot OF
man. The one ulcer was followed by an
other, until the whole surface Of the breast
was but one mass OF corruption. Some Of
these ulcers were not less than oae and a
half inches in diameter, the edges rough,
ragged, and seemingly dead, the cavity
open 10 the bone, and filed with vel.
lowiSh, waxy, aud exceedingly offensive
matter. Everything known 10 the m del
fraternity was tried IN vain. The disease be-
came but the more and more viruient. Grad
ually the bone itself became diseased, and
then the suHerings began in earnest. Bone
ulcers here and there began to take the
place Of those hitherto on the surface.
The difference manifest in these was that
the eruptions were OF watery nature, were
copious and were attended with almost
constant and severe pain. About the only
relief experienced was found in burning
the whole surface OF the breast, night and
morning, literally to blister, with strong
solution Of carbolic acid. This served as
disinfectant, removing the otherwise in
tolerable smell, looseHed up the matter,
and allayed for the time the intolerable
itching. AS il all this was not enough, the
ulcers broke out upon the shoulder blades
and extended TO the small OF the back, and
then, indeed, the cup OF misery was COM
