LIVER TROUBLE And Kidney Sympathy.

The Case of Mrs, A. BARTON.

{By Chir Special.)

A reporter recently made his way to the residence of Mrs. Alice Barton, ot Upper Lome-street, Auckland., where he was received with marked kindness and courtesy by that lady, who willingly volunteered to answer any questions hearing on the subject of the interview. " I believe you had a eerioiw illness some time ago?" queried tlie newspaper man. "Yes;l was very bad indeed. I suffered dreakfuHy with my liver and kidneys. My kidneys troubled me first, and 1 firmly believe it was all through catching cold. I had a dull aching pain IE the back, which did not cease tormenting me the whole day long. At first it fell as though I had overstrained myself in some way—a dragging "feeling, if you understand. I used to nope that a little relief would come when my da/y'fwork wa3 over, but no such luck. The. pains were always there, whether 1 moved about or not." ''Were your household duties inter fered with by your complaints?" "I should rather think so. In a short time I was too tired and listless to do anything, and the pains became bo sharp and acute that the attacks completely prostrated me. There were other symptoms connected with my kidney troubles which are not necessary to mention; but my misfortunes multiplied with time." "In what respect?" " I now had a diseased fiver. Thif was more severe than anything I had ever experienced. The little vitality that was witiiin me before this afflicting came on now left me altogether, and i lost interest in everything around mo I was morose and depressed in.:spirit-., and it was too much trouble to spe <k to people. My stomach was excessively weak, and could not hold any iooii. Vomiting after eating was a common occurrence; but' before this happened ! had terrific pains in the pit of my stoni ach, with large volumes of wind rumbl- • ing about and causing pain in the region of my heart, which beat with unusual rapidity and often frightened we out of my wits. These attacks. brougLi on an awful dizziness, which made ni.v head swim round and round, and tho?i I fainted away. There was a mo.-:i offensive, bitter taste in my month, ju.M ; as though I had been drinking call, and I used to eject sour gasses from, tin stomach all day long. My complexioi; had changed to a deathly white, and iuj lips and gums were almost colourless. My eyes also showed indications of n>y disease, as they were positively lifeless in appearance, and were too dull and weak to allow me to read, although I had no desire for books or papers. Under my shoulderblades and at the end of my ribs I had sharp pricking pains which made me fairly wince, and myhead ached unmercifully without ever ceasing." - , " Could you eat fairly well during your sickness?" " During the early stages I ate pretty well, but I always .suffered for any indulgence in food, no matter in what' form, it was taken. The lightest diet obtainable used to lie like a dead weight on my chest. You cannot imaginehow hard it was to breathe in consequence. These experiences always made my head twice as bad as before eating, a dull, heavy ache asserting itself IB my forehead, and I was frequently compelled to shut myself up in a room, away from noise and conversation, where 1 lay down fearing my head would split I was generally left alone in my miserj on these occasions, as I could not beai to be spoken to when these fearful fit* were cm. My temper was greatly affected by these daily tortures, whicfc made me fretful and peevish. Aftei a while the sense of hunger left me entirely. I could not look at the food placed before me without being overcome by a dreadful feeling of sickness." "How did you get on without eating?"
