IL was in such a low state that |
had TO give up my work entirely and
go TO the mountains, but two months
there did not improve me; in fact /
was not quite as well as when l left
home. My food did not sustain me
and il became eplain that | must
change.

two weeks | could walk mile, and In
FIVE weeks returned TO my home and
practice, taking up hard workagain
Since that time have felt as well and
