degree. | never was free from dyspepsia,
and palpitation OF the heart, and suffered
from nervous debility TO such an extent
that l could neither rest by night nor work
by day. Night after night l walked the
floor tormented by vague fears, which /

could not shake them of. l came home in
June, 1866, and from then until 1894 / was
constantly attended by physicians. having
employed three ut different times during
that period. These good doctors gave ne
occasionally temporary relief, but the good
effects OF their treatment quickly disap-
peared, and let me more Respondent and
