o To ths Editor Of the Herald; SIR dislike
the notoriety of newspaper letter over my
own signature, but in this matter duty CON-
pels me. AS many are aware, was for
years in a feeble condition, many people ex-
pecting my death at any time. In 1879, while
at Denver, Col, was attacked. with mys-
tcrious hemorrhage. i lost twenty pounds
OF flesh in three weeks. 1 came nome utterly
broken down. My ply sicians said some pc
culiarlty OF the Western climate produced
the disorder. L made the journey again q
few months later, however, without i'll
effects, but on my return home 1 was pros.
trate1 with pneum onia. My left lung soon
entirely hlled, and my legs and body became
twice their natural size. ! was obliged TO sit
upright in bed for several weeks, In
the midst'of the scverest agony, with my
arms over my head. i was in con-
slant fear of sun ocatlon. Many night had
deadly sinking spells. When the pneumonia
abated the hemorrhages returned. My legs
were twisted with cramps, my skin was very
hot and dry, my blood circulated unevenly,
my mouth was parched, l was tormented
with the pains OF gravel and mucus in my
fluids, and my back ached overwhelmingly.
1 did not know what was my especial dis
order, but in April, 1881, council of five OF
the best physicians of Syracuse said could
not possibly recover. They advised me to
try the virtues OF a certain mineral spring.
With pitiful helplessness, dragged myself
TO the cars but was obliged TO stop over at
Worcester, Mass. There l was again thor
oughly examined by fifteen physicians, who
concurred that i was incurable. Neverthe-
less, continued my journey to the springs,
remained there several weeks but returned
home without benefit or hope.
My disorder was for years sapping and
mining my constitution before the final at
tack was made. First had chills and fever,
then severe and protracted cold, then rest
lessness at night, nervous irritability by day,
constantly distressing backache, unusual
disposition to catarrh, pain in the chest,
torpid liver, headache, and dull sensation in
the base of the brain. For five years pain
ful rheumatic pains affected my knee.
Stomach and bowel arrangements came In
their turn, with an occasi onal tuttering OF
my heart, and an inability to draw a long
breath; quick fatigue followed much con-
versation; irregularity Of appetite succeeded.
Fitful pains OF neuralgia order fitted
about my body, and alter day OF hard
WORN, my arms would feel numb, so
often had fears OF paralysis. so terrible
at times did my back and arms ache that al
4
an hour with arms appraised in vain attempt
for relief. After night of restlessness and
hallucination, would awake in the NOR 1ing
with such distressing headache that could
not arise until had drunk cup of strong
coffee or tea.
The disease which had fastened on me dur
ing all these years, my physicians said, was

by every medical authority to be incurable
