"Yes, but Dr Alvarez," I protested, "I am not getting a thrill out of these tablets as you suppose, but they are actually intensifying the pain." Opiates just don't take with me.
In order to be sure that we were right I offered, "Dr. Alvarez, if it would be any help to you I would be willing to do another day or his without fading." It was then that he told me the story about the man who was conditioning his house to live on nothing. "And you will probably be like the horse," he said, "about the time we got you conditioned to live on nothing you will up and die on us."
After all these days trying out various food substances and failing to get relief, it was proved by and a doubt that we should have to look elsewhere for causes of dishes. Food was not the only disturbing factor that had to be considered. Unfortunately we were unable to beget a miracle, and I have had to go our as best I could with careful helps from the medical men. Despite direction and sign board it has been an alone road, and uphill all the way.
On foods, we had ended up in the customary manner in the usual blind alley. Where to go on from there? That was the all important position. How to proceed. I had nothing.
