the ONLOOKER WILBUR D. NESBIR ADiagnosis

I didn’t know I bad it, till a little while ago— I haven't been sure of it till'within a day or so. I’d felt some symptoms of it, in a dim, uncertain way. Since first I read the ad about the medicine one day. Last week, however, I struck on the most convincing ad And now I know I’ve got it, and I know I’ve got it bad. I At first I thought I saw some floating specks before my eyes. And then I’d feel that lassitude each morning when I’d rise; And so I kept on reading ads about man’s awful ills Until I found I suffered from dumb fever, aches and chills; I noticed that full feeling for an hour succeeding meals— I felt the way a man in gravest illness . always feels. Why, I’ve had all the symptoms; I’ve had buzzing in the head. And sudden loss of temper; can’t remember what I’ve read; My feet will often “go to sleep;” my fingertips get numb — I shouldn’t doubt if I should be both paralyzed and dumb. And, as I say, last week I struck the most convincing Ld— I don’t know what may ail me, but I know I’ve got it bad. I’ve writen to the doctor for that medicine of his— 0* I’m ready to acknowledge that it’s what he says it is. I’ve got my letter written, telling what I have endured; My picture has been taken, and I’m ready tCL be cured. I’ve suffered all the symptoms that the other patients had— I only know I’ve got it, and I know I’va .got it bad.
