MORNING TILL NIGHT.

Another Record Recovery.

fh« 6ABi of Mrs. C. TIMMINCS. I (BT A WELLINGTOIC REPORTER.) j A representative was received with much ' courtesy on visiting the home of Mrs. i Catherine Timmings, of Charlotte Avenue, ( Wellington. i "I wish to obtain from you the wl le . history of the matter concerning yourself, which is engaging so mu h public aiteu- , Mon," said the reporter. ,' " You refer, of course, to ray live long i years of suffering. ]f I abstained from :' giving the public the benefit of my experi- '■ ence I would be afraid of such ah ungrateful action recoiling upon me in some serious way. You are welcome to every detail in connection with my illness. lam sure I hat my wretched state of debility was bivu lit about, in the first pJaee, by the gieat physical strain of rearing a large family ; my experience being that mothers of a lot of children are particularly susceptible to being laid up very easily. You see, we have not the vitality in our systems to fight against the many maladies that aie continually going about, unless we fortify ourselves by occasionally taking a good medicine, wlii h most people experience great difficulty in finding. It is to assist others in doing so that I so freely give an outline of my ease to be placed at the disposal of the community at large." " Did you suffer from any definite disease, Mrs. Timmings!" "It was sufficiently definite to nearly kill me, I can faithfully say. My liver was in a dreadful state of disorder. So bad, indeed, that I felt sure it was almost eaten '! away by disease. I was in such an alarmingly delicate state of health that I could •oarcely move from one room to another without catching a severe cold, and when my children were very young, I often had to get up from my warm bed to attend to th m. Many a Violent cold have I contracted through walking about the room at night with my babies, and my lungs eventually became badly affected. I had a dry, hacking cough, which was very d stressing and irritating, and my mouth and throat were ▼«ry sore."

" What symptoms of liver complaint did you have ?" " I became very deaf, although my hearing was previously very Bharp. IVople had to repeat things in a loud voice two or three times before I could understand what tiny were saying. My tongue was thickly coated with a yellowish moisture, ami my mouth had a bitter taste in it all day loin:. I felt lazy and languid, without enou h ' go' in me to straighten up the hou-e. It ii a bad state to get into to ha\e wo.k staling you in the face and yet unable to d> it That is precisely how 1 was shunted. Th. only thing that I could do was to lie down, and not b. ther about anything. I felt t.>c weak to think even, although I was troubled very frequently with strange imaginations about something dreadful going to happen." "Were yon suffering any pain ? " "I had splitting sick headaches fr m morning till night, and sharp, twitehi ■ g pains behind the shoulders never cea <ti tormenting me. These pains got worse mu! worse every day, an addition to their, appearing Lelow my ribs. I could not lie on my side in consequence of the extreme agony I was in, and many a night I lirwj been obliged to sit up in bed for hours. But this did not matter very much in oneway, as I could not sleep in any position. The whole of the night I used to lie awake, although I was thoroughly fatigued and exhausted when I wont to bed. In the mornings my eyes were dim and swollen, especially after seveie vomiting fits, which generally enmo on as soon as I put my weary, aching limbs on the move. Some mornings I wasablo to take a little breakfast, which usually consisted of a small piece of toast nnd a cup of tea ; but the awful feeling of heaviness and oppression in my chest after n»ch a nv derate repast ran hardly be d scribed. My chest folt as if it were w igl ed down by a box of lead after eatinsr, ami my stomach was besieged with terribly exasperating pains. .Then a little while after 1 fo t myself getting full of wind, spasms of which sometimes maele me shriek.' On numerous occasions I district )y heard my heart hammering away against my ribs,
