Sarah M. Brownson Tenney was attached with a violent diarrhea and intense sickness of stomach and rejection of food more than two months ago. The doctor has been able to relieve only for short periods. This continued for more than four weeks resulting in extreme postration and evacuation. Is then occurred to them that the water closet was the cause of her disorder. She was kept from it and its connection with the house cutoff just in time to save her life. The disorder then gradually gave away but the stomach has not recovered its tone. She is slowly improving but is unable to leave her bed for any time. Her emacration is extreme. Her limbs are like sticks. The doctor allows no one to see her that she may be kept from all excitement and has ordered a change of air as soon as she can be moved. Throughout she has been steadily cheerful and hope-ful. Her entire recovery is now only a matter of time and care with the blessing of Providence. The youngest child Mary Brownson Tenney was quite ill in consequence of the change of food but is now recovering. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
