for you by Fong Wan ? A. Yes.
Q. When did you first commence taking them? A. October 15.

Q. Just state to the jury what occurred after you commenced to
take these treatments ? A. Well, I started in and I would have to be
taken down in the car, I was not able to walk only a block, I was short
winded, I had the afternoon fever, I had the night sweats. So after I
started taking them it was quite some time until I gained weight, but I
gained strength. Then I gained eighteen pounds after going to him
for six months.
