Was told my trouble was caused from ulcers of the stomach, chronic constipation and a general nervous breakdown. There were times when I could not keep food on my stomach—very near lived on milk and eggs. and my stomach hurt so that I could hardly stand the pains. It would swell and bloat and burned like fire. My side hurt ter- ribly, feet and hands felt cold, could not rest at night and had reached the stage where I was afraid to eat.
