It was natural that while in this condition I should become
hypochondrical, and fearful suggestions of self-destruction
occasionally presented themselves. I experienced an
insatiable desire for sleep, but on retiring would lie awake
for a long time, tormented with troubled reflections, and
when at last I did fall into an uneasy slumber of short
duration, it was disturbed by horrid dreams. In this
condition I determined to take a trip to Europe, but in spite
of all the attentions of physicians and change of scene and
climate, I did not improve, and so returned home with no
earthly hope of ever again being able to leave the house.
Among the numerous friends that called on me was one who had
been afflicted somewhat similarly to myself, but who had been
restored to perfect health. Upon his earned recommendation I
began the same treatment he had employed but with little hope
of being benefited. At first, I experienced little, if any,
relief, except that it did not distress my stomach as other
remedies or even food had done. I continued its use, however,
and after the third bottle could see a marked change for the
better, and now after the fifteenth bottle I am happy to
state that I am again able to attend to my professional
duties.
