My recovery has not only surpris
ed me-" continued Mr.. Rawley, but
all the boys on this end OF the line are
talking about it. Pulling through

years ago following severe attack OF
grippe, which settled in my stomach

such a pressure through my chest
that l could scarcely breathe. Sharp
pains would suddenly strike me in
the chest, keeping me in agony for
hours, and at night | would have to
get up and walk the floor to keep

year after my trouble started, ! began
vomiting and kept it up almost inees-

sure my life would end there. ] had
to be carried to a hospital for treat
ment after which felt in fair condi
ton for few weeks and then another
attack came on me with great pains
In my stomach and intestines which
would last for hours.
AT first these spells came about
once a month, then twice a month and
then every week and got me down to
where l just couldn't work at all. In
fact, l lost fifty pounds in weight and
had to give up my position as station
agent and do nothing but try to ins
relief. Then | went to another hos
pital for treatment, then another

medicine knew of or that was sug
