over to his wife a brand new pair of
trousers. worn but once, and costing
Sl4Oo per, to make pair of pants for
his young son that could be bought at
any good suitable store at So 10. Bit

deal of trouble with my heart. Some
times feared l was dying, and my doc

with these attacks and the doctor said
there was some constant irritation of
the nerves, and he began to think some
organic disease was at work.

similar to mine, and that the woman
could find no relief until she stopped
using coffee. 1 did not like the idea of
giving up coffee, for l was very fond
