fed by the Very flame which they the,n-

| For many years was conscious of want
of nerve tone. My mind seemed slug

natural condition OF intellectual acnte-
ness. activity and vieor. I presume this
is the same way in which an hummer
able number of other people feet, who
like myself are physically below par,
but like thousands of others I paid no
attention to these annoying troubles, at
tributing them to overwork, and resort
ing to glass of beer or milk punch,
which would for the time invigorate and
relieve my WEAKNESS.
After awhile the stimulants COM
menced to disagree with my stomach,
my WEAKNESS increased, and was COM
PEELED to resort to other means to find
relief. If a physician is suffering he in
variab|y calls another physician to pre-
scribe for him, as he cannot see himself
as he sees others; so called physician

cal food, or bottle of hypophosphates.
took two or three bottles of the chemi-
cal food, with no apparent benefit. Ny
crease, my food distressed me. Isuffer-
ed from neuralgic pains in different
parts OF my body, my muscles became
sore, my bowels were constipated, and
my prospects for recovery were not
very flattering. stated my case to
another physician, and be advised me
to take five to ten drops Of Magende's
solution ofmorphine, two or three times
day, for the weakness and distress in
my stomach, and blue pill every other
night to relieve the constipation. The
morphine produced such deathly nau-
sea that could not take it, and the blue
dill failed to relieve my constipation.
In this condition passed nearly year

fort to think was irksome and painful.
My blood became impoverished, and

It was natural that while in this con.
