headway that I was forced to resign mj
position and seek relief at Hot Spring.
After spending all the means I had I went
to Memphis. In leu than three week I
was in a hospital, and after nine weeks of
suffering' I was discharged as cured. In
less than a month everv boue in nir body
teemed to be affected and felt at if they
would break at the least exertion. Again
I was compelled to resign, and I returned
to the hospital for a seven weeks stay.
When I came out I was advised to try
