| In 1858, entered the regular q. s.
Army and was assigned TO Co. ''E,''
Sixth Infantry. then stationed at Fort
Douglas, Utah. My boyhood days had
been spent ON farm in Kentucky. but
had not been accustomed to manual
labor for several years previous to en-
tering upon active military duties.
The constant and excessive daily drills,
sleeping IN tents and general exposure
of severe winter, brought on a pecu-
liar nervous trouble, which soon inca.
pacitated me for all garrison work.
The post surgeon ordered me to the
hospital and diagnosed my case as
muscular rhuematism. My lower
limbs seemed 10 be dying-losing all
sense OF outward feeling. The most
excruciating pains made me almost
wild with misery and could not stand
alone. My appetite was ravenous, d.
gestion perfect, lungs strong and gen.
eral health good except for this dis.
tressing disability.
After several days treatment with
no change, the surgeon concluded
had heart failure. He prescribed tinc.
ture Of digitalis. and gave me several
ounces Of this without any effect, ex-
cept that kept getting worse. In the
fall OF 1884. was discharged on sur
geon's certificate OF disa bility, and be-
gan the difficult task of existing and
trying to regain my health in strange
