Splitting SioK Headaches. MORNING TILL NIGHT. Another Record Recovery.

The Case of Mrs* fc TIMMINGS. (»T A WJSLMNGTOH BEPORTEH.) A representative was received with much courtesy on viiitiug the home of Mrs. Catherine Timmings, of Charlotte Avenue, Wellington. "I wish to obtain from you the whole history of the matter concerning yourself, which is engaging so jnu.h public attention," said the reporter. "You refer, of course, to my five long yean of Buffering. If I abstained from giving the public the benefit of my experience I would be afraid ef such an ungrateful action recoiling upon me in iom« serious way. Yom are welcome to every detail in connection with my illness. lam ears that my wretched state of debility was bmu.ht •bout, in the first pfeee, by the gr»at physical strain »f 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 ate continually going aboat, unless we fortify eurselvos by occasionally taking a good medicine, which most people experience great difficulty in finding. It is bo assist others in doing so that I so freely give an outline of my case 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 surh an alarmingly delicate state of health that I could scarcely move from one room to another without catching a severe cold, and whan my children were very young, I often had to get up from my warm bed to attend to them. Many a Violent eeld lure I contracted through walking about the room at night with my babiei, and my lungs eventually beeame badly affected. I had a dry, hacking cough, which was very distressing and irritating, and my mouth and throat were very sore." " What symptoms of liver complaint did you have ?" " I became very deaf, although my hearing was previously very sharp. People had to repeat things in a loud voice two or throe times before I could understand what they were saying. My tongue was thickly coated with a yellowish moisture, and my mouth had a bitter taste in it all day long. I felt lazy and languid, without enough ' go' in me to straighten up the'hoive. It is a bad state to get into to have wotk stai i'ig you in the face and yet unable to An it That is precisely how 1 was situated. The only thing that I could do was to lie down, andaotbithor about anything. I felt too weak te think even, although I was troubled xe*y frequently with strange imaginaiions about something dreadful going to liapjien." " Were you suffering any pain ? " "I had splitting sick headaches fr m morning till night, and sharp, twitching pains behind the shoulders never ccacd tormenting me, These pains got worse Mid worse every day, an addition to them appearing below my ribs. I could not lie on my side in consequence of the extreme agony I was in, and many a night I have been obliged to sit up in bed for hours. But this did not matter very much in one way, 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 went to bed. In the mornings my eyes were dim and swollen, especially after scveio vomiting fits, which generally came on as soon as I put my weary, aching limbs on the move. Pome morjiingg I was able to take a little break, fast, which usually consisted of a small piece of toast and a cup of tea; but the awful feeling of heaviness and oppression in my chest after nnch a mnderate repast can hardly be d-scribed. My chest felt as if it were wig! Ed down by a box of lead after eating, and my stomach was brsicged with terribly exasperating pains. /Then a little while after I fe.t myself getting full of wind, spasnu of which sometimes made me shriek! On numerous occasional distinctly heard my heart hammering away against my ribs,
