To the Editor Rochester On " Democrat:
S1R-On the first day of June, 1881,
/ lay at my residence in this city sur
rounded by my friends and waiting Tor
death. Heaven only knows the agony
/ then endured, for words can never de-
scribe it. And yet, if a few years pre-
vious any one had told me that was to
be brought so low, and by so terrible
disease, should have scoffed at the
idea. l had always been uncommonly
strong and healthy, and weighed over
200 pounds and hardly knew, IN my
own experience, what pain or sickness
were. Very many people who will read
this statement realize at times that they
are unusually tired and cannot account
for it. They feel dull pains IN various
parts of the body and DO not
understand it. Or they are exceed
ingly hungry one day and entirely
without appetite the next. This was
lust the way I felt when the relent.
less malady which had fastened ltseil
upon me first began. Still l thought
nothing of it; that probably had taken
cold which would soon pass away.
Shortly after this noticed a heavy,
and at times neuralgia, pain IN one side
Of nv head but as it would come one
day and be gone the next, paid little
attention to it. Then my stomach
would get out of order and my food Oh
ten failed to digest, causing at Tunes
great Inconvenience. Yet,even as phy-
sician, did not think that these things
meant anything serious. fanclea 1

symptoms continually, ] finally became
accustomed to them, and my Suspicion

from Maine to California. Still grew
worse. No two physicians agreed as to
my malady. One said was troubled
with spinal irritation; another dyspep'
