Ing account of how she recovered her
strength, having realized that she was i
actually losing her health:
"Health is the greatest thing in the J
world, and when you feel that gradually
slipping away from you, you certainly sit '
up and take notice. That is what I did I
some time ago when I found myself in a '
very nervous, run-down condition of 1
health. I was so tired and felt so lifeless '
I could hardly go at all.
"I was just no account for work. 1 ]
would get a bucket of wat?r and would '
ieel so weak I would have to set it down
before 1 feit like 1 could lilt it to the shelf. !
In this condition, of course, to do even
my housework was a task almost im- j
possible to accomplish.
