Neither have we any evidence that there
is a tornado on the face of the sun; but
it is none the loss certain that the torna
do is here, and it is none the less certain
that these great organs are the cause of
the trouble although there may l>o no
fain iu their vicinity.
1 know whereof 1 speak, for I have
■ a-sod through this very experience
uysclf.’ Nearly ten years ago I was the
picture of health, weighing more than 200
pounds and as strong and healthy as
any man I ever knew. When I felt* the
symptoms I have above described, they
caused me annoyance not only by reason
of their aggro . ating nature, but because
I had never felt any pain before. Other
doctors told me I was troubled with ma
laria, and I treated myself accordingly.
1 did not believe, however, that malaria
could show such aggravated symptoms,
it never occured to me that analysis
would help solve the trouble, as I did
not presume my difficulty was lo
cated in that portion of the body.
But I continued to grow worse. 1 had
a faint sensation at the pit of my stom
ach nearly every day. I felt a great de
sire to eat, and yet I loathed food. 1
was constantly tired and still I could
not sleep. My brain was unusually ac
tive, but I could not think connectedly.
My existence was a living misery. 1
continued in this condition for nearly a
year; never free from pain, never for a
moment happy. Such an existence is
far worse than death, for which I con
fess I earnestly longed.
