hardly walk, I was so dizzy and had a ringing in my head all the time. My
hands and feet were always old. My appetite very poor. On getting up
in the morning-, my head swam so I often obliged to lie down again. I had
awful pains in small of my back. had a continual feeling of tiredness.
My muscular power was almost entirely gone, and I couldn't go half a
steps without stopping to rest, and often that much caused me to have
a pain in my side. It seemed as though the blood had left my veins. The doc-
tors said my blood had all turned to water. I had given all hope of ever get-
