it had been wet with water. | had fits of
coughing and would raise q tough kind of
mucus. Then I would vomit. Often I was
called up at night by fits of vomiting, and for
years l haven't been able to take anything on
my stomach in the morning. Every once in
a while took a fresh cold-I seemed 10 be
forever taking cold-and then l would be
worse than ever. Somewhat over a month

think, about three years ago that l found that
my catarrhal trouble had extended down into
my bronchial tubes and that | had genuine
bronchitis. | tried changes of climate and
various remedies. but my trouble seemed to
be getting a severer hold OH me all the time.
My chest, when lay down, would feel as If
there was weight on it. The passage in my
throat seemed to be plugged up. | breathed
with difficulty and with the least exercise be-
came short of breath. The pain in my chest
would come and go, and | seemed to have
hot flashes over my body. had hacking
cough, which seemed 10 trouble me most
when | got up in the morning. My appetite
was bad and my sleep was broken. Each
winter I'could see was getting weaker and
my trouble was more pronounced. This fall

my cough left me. My appetite returned to
