The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1905-06-04

What seems to be the matter with
you, Mrs. Deal?'' asked the Doctor.
Everything, Doctor. I've got the
worst pain in the top of my head all
in my brain. and all around the back
of my head and neck, and right UP
here in my forehead, it's enough to
run me crazy; and then l have the
ear-ache, and my eyes are sore and
running water all the time; and my
teeth ache. and my gums are as sore
as boils; and | have such pains I'm
my face / rally do believe I've got the
tic doloreuX; and my neck and
shoulders and back are aching all the
time; and my breast is just that sore,
and have such coughing spells most
know in my mind, I'm going to have
the worst time l ever had, and I'm
expecting nothing else but it will turn
to consumption; and, Doctor, l have
the worst pains in the small of my
back and in my kidneys, a poor mortal
ever had; and my stomach is swelled
all the time, till | feel. sometimes,
like I'd burst and my hips and my
Joints feel just like I'd been beat with
a club; and the rheumatics are all in
my Inns and my knees are swelled
that bad that / can, hardly bend them,
and my ankles feel like / had just
sprained them. and my feet are so
sore / can hardly stand on them, and
rally do believe I've got the ground
itch. HoW's your familya Doctor"
The Doctor used to say he had found
one person whom Isaiah described,
for, commencing at the top of her
head, something was the matter with
her all the way down to the ground
itch.
Another thing in which people are
little extravagant, is about the winds
and rains. If there has been a rain
and a little blow, and few trees have
been uprooted, it's distressing to hear
the brethren talk about it, at church
next Sunday morning, especially if
they are behind in paying the preach
er. yes, brethren. we are just about
ruined at my house. If man Will
pay my guano bill he can take my
crop. The wind tore my corn all to
pieces, tie tobacco is ruined, the cot
ton is injured at least fifty per cert :.
and the worst of it I'll is, my fences
are all down. the stocks in my fields
and the lands completely washed
away"
A month from that time, if you so
by that farm, you will be forced to
exclaim: What a crop! What q
crop! Corn silking and tasseling,
cotton waist high and full of bolls,
tobacco just as good as air and earth
and rain could make 1t, and every
thing in good shape
/ think sometimes it is a wonder
that the Lord gives any health, at ALL
to those who are forever complaining
or that he allows anything to grow
for those who are untruthfully charg-
ing him with destroying their crops
with winds and rains.
