After another week, however, I got a request to meet the doctor, as the patient, on being tried with stronger food, had at once gone back to her old condition. I found her terribly emaciated, lying on a water-bed to prevent bed-sores which had threatened. There were A SIMPLER LIFE 81 some symptoms of pelvic irritation, but she was not pregnant. Her family, consisting of two fine healthy boys, quite young, took up much of her time ; she was much in society ; and she had continued her duties to b...oth long after she was quite unfit for the exer- tion. Her exhaustion was now extreme, and both doctor and friends were afraid to con- tinue the only treatment which had in the least degree done her good. Though by no means sure of the result, I strongly urged as the only chance of preserving life that the stomach must have rest ; that in its present condition any stimulating food or medicine could only do mischief; and that if time could not be given it to recover its tone the patient must die.
