I f a 'ed some new a id terr b'e i hing ha I got hold of mo, which might, make my strength of no avail against it. I siy, thtt was the wai I thought. Presently I could not even li down for the pain all over my body. 1 asle my doctor what he thought of my oondi'.ion, and he t'riiu'dy sai i, " I ant 8 >rr/ to have to tell you tint you are getting worse!''
