not knowing exactly what it was. It

ant Of the real trouble and cause, but
now since an well I suppose there
Is no further reason TO Worry about
the matter.
Ny trouble came on gradually at
first and kept getting worse each year.
The main trouble was the swelling OF
ny limbs. They would swell up in
few days then 90 down, and the swell
ing would then appear in some other
part OF NY body. When l was in this
condition I was in perfect misery. Or
dinaTily, the swelling would be per
fectly hard. The skin would be pink.
and there would BE itching pains like

heart and this alarmed ne very much.

this trouble and suffered intensely,

had become very thin. The doctors
tried many things, but nothing seemed
