My heart fluttered and had regular runnlng-nway fipells. My stomach was bo soro that I could hnrdly bear a touch on that part of my body. I had n great deal pf pain in. tho region of my liver and tho doctor Bnid that organ was enlarged. My kidneys nehed bo at times that I could hardly" stand." " Didn't you givo up and go to bod?' ho was asked, "No, I simply wouldn't. My head and my back nehed dreadfully, but I obstinately dragged myself about, kept growing worse nnd finally ran down t6 almost nothing." " What did yon do to got relief?"
