I lost a great deal of weight, my stomach left me, and I got to where 1 could not work. 1 would suffer awful agony after eat ing, and neither sweet milk nor water would stay on my stomach long enough to get warm. I would get so nervous I could not control myself. PH'tell you tho truth, I was tn an awful condition.
