I have been an outdoor patient in the Hospi tal ; I got at times temporary relief. I could not' sleep on my left side; I kept rolling about backwards and forwards in bed. When I got up in the morning, I, would rather be in bed but work I had to attend to. When I had eaten a light meal 1 found it always lodged in my stomach. -Always costive, a great palpi tation, pains across the chest, more particu larly under the left breast, always a violent pain between the shoulders, felt just the same as if any one. was pouring water down:my back, feet alwaysjCokh:«-Happened to get one. of your bills when you came to' St. Asaph street, which explained to me the symptoms I was laboring under. .
