toms of rheumatism. The next March had
Ia grippe, which left me with what the doctor
pronounced muscular rheumatism. became

attack. 1t settled in my back and right hip,
and was then called sciatica.. was blistered
several times without any relief. spent all
of that winter in bed. The next spring was
able to be out little, but in August had an
other attack and was blistered again. This

weeks but received no benefit.
"After this had sixteen boils, or some

to have my bed made. l had chiIls every
night and my hands and feet were like ice

night as would awake nearly every hour in
terrible pain.
