Before I started to take them I was languid. weak, sleepless and nervous. Mv braîn was beclouded and 1 could not iollect my thouglits, I had gone through an oporation iu the hope of relief but stili remained genorally broken up, my appetite was gone and I was almost without hope or ambition.

Seven operations were performed within six mentIs, during which time I visited at different periods for the purpese of these operatiens île foilowing hospitals, viz: The Toronto Generai Hospital, St. Ificlael's Hespital, and Grace Hospital. Aithougl all at could ho doule for me wss faithfuily aud skillfully performed, 1 received only temperary relief, the operations only serving te emeve the enormous quantities cf water whidh con- ttautly accumulated. As a mattor of fact, 17 gallons of water werer.emovod during the last two operaiions. After the last operation I was given up te die and was given only six to tweive days te lire. la addition te the lest medical skili whicl neney could procure, 1 used al linds of patent medicines whicl pro- ,,îised relief, but wtluut effet.
