stomach trouble and it.. went so long
and kept ME in such misery that II

Of nervous trouble. Instead OF get

other trouble was always coming on
me, until think I had every ailment
that ANYBODY else ever did. When

fiji up with gas and torture me for
hours ar a time and my kidneys were
so out Of shape that I couldn't see
