One Dr. ? treated me about two weeks, but did mo no good. All thought I had but a short time to live. [I earnestly prayed to die. Cracked through the skin all over my back, across my ribs, arms, hands,- limbs; feet badly swollen; toe-nails came off; finger-nails dead and liard ha a bone; hair dead, dry and lifeless as old straw.
