year. The symptoms vary but
never interfere with the appetite.
It never lasts more than twenty-four
hours. No doctors are called, It
always proves fatal in the end to the
rlinrQh.L'oiiiir snirit. The attack
comes on suddenly every Sunday
Si ...
except on occasions 01 a sjieciai game
of base ball, or a free ticket to the
Oaks. No symptoms arc felt Sat
urday. The patient sleeps well and
i..is heartilv. About 'io o'clock or
near church time, the attack comes
on and continues until service are
over for the morning.
Then the patient begins to feel
easv and eats a hearty dinner. In
the afternoon the natieiit is much
better, and is able to take a walk
and read the Sunday pajer.s: even
co nut and visit some neighbor.
He eats a hearty supier, but alniut
8 o clock he has anotner attacK
which keens him at home. On
