past seven years have afforded me large
opportunities in the observation and

matte advantages for an aggravated
case OF bronchitis and for pulmonary
tuberculosis in the second stage. For
six months had been unable to dis.
charge my professional duties Tor a sin.

nurses and half-a-dozen doctors. Have
been disappointed No. l am in bet.
have had IA years respite from the ter.
