The m-ther's simple tale is thic : "In June, 1890, my daughter Ann E!iE»heth became low, weak and frefu), and-«oiu-plainei of pain in tha chest a^ttr«a ing.

It attacks both yoith and age, its fearful aud often fatal results being due to the fact that physici-ms usually tro;it the symptoms instead of tba disease itself.
