Hepatitis

     In modern society when a person gets sick with the flu or a cold they
will usually go about their normal routine with the exception of a sneeze or a
cough throughout the day.  Sometimes things can be more than what they appear to
be.  The symptoms start out like the flu with coughing, fever, aches, and
vomiting. However, the disease gradually worsens with symptoms of extreme
weakness and excrushatating abdominal pain.  By then it is usually too late when
