For seven years I had nervous prostration and partial paralysis, or, as it is called, locomotor ataxia. For eight years previous to that I had been suffering from indigestion, so that I became a mere wreck.
My business as salesman compelled me to travel, covering the territory from San Antonio, Texas, to Bangor, Maine. When I look back I wonder how, in that almost helpless condition, I attended to business, but it was done, after a fashion.
There was no improvement in my condition, although I had one of the best physicians, who also consulted a specialist.
