weeks in a cooler climate would
Don r~einvigorate me. Little did
i dream, however, what was
10 store tor me. Alter getting settled
10 my new quarters | took ashort walk
every dag, aud patiently awaited the
return OF my strength, but in spite Of
all my efforts | seemed 10 be
losing strength; and even my slight
exercise became labofious aud
tiresome. During this time |
had frequent dull aching pains in my
head, and through Guy back and
hips, occasionally shooting pains in
various parts of my body, with sore
ness, shortness Of breath, and palpita-

the frequent desire to urinate. The
quantity Of fluid passed would at n
time be small and lHother quite pro-

we're alternately torpid and too active,
the urine would be clear some DAYS,

burning fever the next. | suffered ex.

feet and hands, and at the base Of thu
brain and between the shoulders; a
times my limbs and body would bloaI
