Her appetite was fair, but she was strangely white, and weighed one hundred and sixty-three pounds, with a height of five feet five inches.

As she had had endless treatment by iron, change of air, and the like, I did not care to repeat what had already failed.

She was therefore put at rest, and treated with milk, slowly lessened in amount.

Her stomach-troubles, which had been very annoying, disappeared, and when the milk fell to three pints she began to lose flesh.

With a quart of milk a day she lost half a pound daily, and in two weeks her weight fell to one hundred and forty pounds.
