IN tho latte: part OF 1882, l was taken
down with severe attack OF typhoid
fever, which confined me to my bed for
two months. Two months is long
time to be III bed, but was not to get

seized me, and IL was worse than the
typhoid, for it was more painful. To
add to MY troaole and make it moro i'll

that had reached the depths of misery,
but such was not the case, Tor my kidneys
gave out, and this seemed to be the last
straw on the load that was to crush me.

recover, and though the doctors came to
see me and prescribed. it was easy TO see
that they We're but trying to nuke my

perceived improvement in my condition.

meal, ana at the end OF the second week

were making me better, so I kept on
using them according to directions, and

The only way they could do 1t was by
fasting. So from Sunday night till
Tuesday morning they ate nothing,
and the money saved-three pounds and
over-was gent to the Fund. Precious
