have been abe to eat next to nothing
since.
IT have not taken the slightest en-
joyment ia living, I have been So de-
pressed by my condition. Neither ply
siclans nor medicine helped me. and It
was only by the most careful diet that
I was able to retain any food whatever.
For the past seven months I have not
eaten a particle OF meat In the most
skeptical frame of mind possible I call
ed to see Mr.. Cooper about two months
ago, while he was ia Brooklyn. / had
not the smallest hope his medicine
would help me, as I had given UP hope
during the past year. I obtained some
of the medicine and began its use. To-
day 1 am apparently as well as ever.
