Seven years ago my struggle for life began
with a burning Inflammation, almost rs much
to be dreaded as fire.. AT first attacking me
with pain and aching in the back. The least
cold or over work would ~aggrayate my troub-
les. My stomach and liver became deranged,
tongue coated, appetite poor, nerves unstrung
and my sleep troubled. / made q desperate
effort TO keep about, butin spite Of all my reso-
buttons n the help of physicians, found my
self growing worse month by month, and my
once powerful constitution completely break
ing down, 1 suffered from chronic Inflammation
of the kidneys, rheumatism and catarrh of the
bladder. Blood would rush to my head. l would
feel faint and weak, and found it difficult to
breathe at times as my heart would throb and
skip beats. In the spring Of 1880 still more
critical symptoms set in. My terrible agony
no one could tell. Ny weight was reduced
nearly seventy pounds. A sense of soreness
and rawness was followed by attacks Of inward
fever. VIM. II. Filkin's affidavit Is herewith
