There was hardly any hair on my head, I'd tear it out in handfuls* I got so bad that I dare not be taken out, my legs would twitch, and dawn I'd fall. My mouth would twitch violently, and' I'd make the most awful grimace's. I could only speak in stammers and mumbles. I 1 was painfully thin, and seemed to have no blood in my body.
