I-rfelfr tired in bddy and weary, in mind. .There was much pain at my chest aud back, and a kind of tightness, at the sides, as though physical force were applied there to restrain me from moving, my appetite., which was uiually good,' fell, away; and whatever I ate or drank gave me pain, and I lived : almost entirely on bread and water. I was always in pain and couldn't slo^p bo as to feel refreshed by it.
