was smothering nnd my legs would become
to weak that I had to drop when I felt the
spells comlii? on. As for sleep, that was out
of the qutstlon, except Httlo cat nnps, for in
ndditlon to tho iecllncs I hnve nltctnpted to
describe, I had neuralgia, nnd for six months
I kept getting worse and worse, nnd at lost
was confined to tiy bed in October, 1891.
"I have nearly always thought it was la
grippe, that I had," Mrs. Tnplcy continued,
'though tho doctor never would say so, but
whatever it was it kept getting worse nad
worse, especially my head nnd nerves, nnd I
thought 1 should die, but I dragged on a
wretched existence until nbout oroyearngo.
