vising me to go North, which | did The
doctors North told me that me that my
only hope was to return To the mllder
climate, and accordingly | came back to
Rome. completely broken down and near
~ skeleton. My trouble finally termin-
ated in an abcess of the liver, and nearly
everyone (mysef included) thought
was doomed to die within a few days. In
this condition / was advised by friend
to take Swift's Specific, and took it just
as drowning man would catch at a
