examination at the top of the list and soon
after the first of the year was put on as a

pains in my legs, ! grew worse rapidly and
had to 90 to bed. My doctor said | had the
grippe, rheumatism and a complication of
disorders which had been brought on by ex-
posures. What | suffered cannot be described
as had never had sick day before.
For four weeks | was between life and

read many descriptions of the sufferings of
others with this almost incurable disease
but it seems as if no one could suffer more
than | did with it. For three long months
