" The first Indication that I had that any.
thing was radically wrong with me was
about three years ago. 1 suffered the most
xcrueiating pains in different parts of my
body and was almost crazed at times. My
sleep was disturbed by horrible dreams and
I bad begun to waste away to almost a
shadow. To add to my other afflictions the
malady assumed a catarrhal turn and I was
soon a victim to that horrible as wall as dis
gusting disoase. I consulted the family
physician who gave mo some kind of a nos
trum and I was foolish enough to imagine
that it benefited me. I followed the advice
of the physicians but noticed no perceptible
improvement in my condition and was about
to despair of ever becoming a strong and
well woman again.

me one afternoon and before them I nap.
