TOO GIDDY TO STAND, AND A PERMANENT RECOVERY.

The Case of Mr. h. ST n CLAIRi (SPECIALLY REPORTED.) Some interesting details concerning tho case of A. St. Clair, Esq., having been furnished to us, we despatched our reporter to Byron-street, Guildford, near Sydney, where Mr. St. Clair resides and carries oa' business as a photographer. Our reporter explained his mission to Mr. St. Clair, and that gentleman consented to afford the desired interview. "Then will you kindly furnish me with particulars as to the initiation of your malady ?" "I am convinced," replied Mr. St. Clair, " that it originated in there.1' Our reporter followed with his eyes the finger of the photographer, which was directed to the half-open door of a dark-room. "Yes," continued Mr. St. Clair, "I worked a great deal in there, and I believe my system was first Thrown Out of Gear through my getting poisoned by some of the chemicals which we in the tiade are obliged to make use of. I began to feel sick and faint, and my head was Racked with Fearful Pains. I couldn't sit down to my food, and all I was able to eat was a mouthful or so between meala, which did me no good, for I started retching and vomiting immediately afterwards. Pains seized me all over, principally in the back, and as a blue line distinctly appeared around my gums, the doctor whom I consulted said this was a positive Sign of Lead Poisoning." "Did you take nothing to allay the violence of these symptoms?" "Yes, many medicines; but got not the least benefit, and the more physic I took the worse I got. I was now attacked with that most terrible complaint—insomnia. Sleepless I passed night after night wearily tossing to aud fro, and I seemed as though I should never have natural sleep again. I was completely worn out, and my nerves were shattered. I was not yet confined to my bed, but I daren't go out. I was Frightened, I can't tell you of what. A vague terror of something .dreadful about to happen hung over me. Strange feelings, as though I was going to fall forward on my face, came over me. When I woke in the niorr.iiig I felt choked and suffocated, and I should jump out of bed only to find myself Too Giddy to Stand. Every doctor I went to said that my nervons system was completely broken up. Jiut all the same their physic did me no good. I was miserable, unhappy, melancholy, and so nervous that I couldn't stand the least annoyance. I heard that I could get somo Special Treatment in MeA&ourne,
