and the people were again prosperous

and was absolutely helpless. The infam'
nation affected every part of my body. Ny
knees, however gave me the greatest trouble,
as they were swollen TO twice their size, and
were much in1amed. At such periods il
was necessary for me to remain in bed or sit
up in an easy chair propped up with pillows
and cushions.
"My condition gradually became much
worse with each recurring attack, and the
last year 1t was the worst of all. was so Ill
that three doctors were called and were at
