For seven years I did not know what it was to be well. At
that time I slipped and fell, straining myself inwardly. I paid
little attention to it at first; but soon I found that I had habitual
backache and a peculiar sick feeling at my stomach. The right side
of my bowels ached and if I was on my feet a couple of hours at
a time I would give out completely. I began coughitng and thought
I was getting consumption but the doctor told me this was on ac
count of my weak condition, that I was in reality troubled with
