and was so weak | could hardly get
around.
Il had no appetite at all scarce

cause gas to form in my stomach,
which gave me palpitation of the
heart, sick headache and a dizzy
feeling about the head. When

about myself until | could rest and
sleep but little.
Il had fallen off until | was al

her again or not. My sister beg

me to wait and try a good tonic
for awhile. The next day, as l
returned from the consultation
room, l thought of what she said,

resort and stopped at Gilbert's
drug store and got a bottle. Of
