Various doctors ani r.atenb modicinea were tried ; but little, if any relief was experienced from these sources. After an unsatisfactory night's mat, I was wont to rise with a nasty taste m the mouth and a feeling of intense weariness. The throat was parched and dry, and the whole system was being gradually undermined from an utter lack of appetite. Indeed, I turned away from meat, especially m the morning, with di-guat, and had to content myself with a. jl b-u'Pi collation of a iittlo bread and tea.
