UI caught a heavy cold, which settled on my
lungs and brought on a hemorrhage From
that time on until the first of April bled from
my lungs five different times. l was so weak
and undone l could only do the lightest work.
The doctor told me I was going into consump-
ton My breath was short and at times could
hardly get my breath at all. This is the state
