As a child I had been labeled delicate and was under the continual surveillance of physicians. Among the ailments from which I suffered was chronic asthma. This disease grew in intensity until I was almost constantly confined to bed, becoming steadily weaker as material remedies offered only brief and temporary aid.

I could not distinguish one word from another; but I kept trying to read, and I prayed to God to help me.
