which l suffered continuously, in various
forms. In 1883 I had the jaundice, and 1t
continued for years, to a greater or lesser
degree. l never was free from dyspepsia,
and palpilation OF the heart, and suffered
from nervous debility to such an extent
that could neither rest by night nor work
by day. Night after night l walked the
floor tormented BY vague fears, which
knew were purely imaginary, and yet
could not skake them OIL. l came homo in
June, 1868, and from then until 1894 I was
constantly attended by physicians. having
