Chap. w. Has row with his Doctor
The above chapters, Mr.. Editor, find in o

which superficial physicians cover up null

sleeplessness, irritability, tired feelings, and
general unftness for business are succeeded
in due time by alarming attacks Of rheuma-
ism which fits about his body regardless Of
all human feelings.
It is muscular'-in his back. Articular,-
in his joints Inhammatory, my! how he
fears it will fly to his hearth Now off he
goes to the springs. The doctor sends him
there, of course, to get well: at the same time
he does not really want him TO die on his
hands!
That would hurt his business!
Better for few days. Returns After q
while neuralgia transtxes him. He bloats;
cannot breathe; has pneumonia; cannot
walk; cannot sleep on his left side, is fretful
very nervous and irritable, is pale and flabby;
has frequent chills and fevers; everything
about him seems to go wrong; becomes sus-
pici0us; musters up strength and demands to
know what is killing him

how general Bright's disease is becoming.
Two of my personal friends are now dying

the use of any unauthorized means"
