ANOTHER DUNEDIN DYSPEPTIC FINDS A REMEDY.

The Case of Mrs. L. SCOTT.

(By a Local Reporter.)

Mrs. Louisa Scott, of 38 St. Dayid6treet, Dtmedin, although in the midst of preparation for the approaching festivities of Christinas and New Year when our reporter called, said she was always prepared to devote an hour or two in discussing the details of her exceptional experience. " 1 hear that you underwent a great change some months ago:"' remarked the reporter. "So I did," replied Mrs. Scott. " Until this last year or so I was a big, •tout woman, and hardly ever knew what it was to feel tired, although I used to work very hard. In fact, I worked too hard, for which I suffered severely. When I had got about half way through iny meals a sudden sense of fulness came" on, as though I would choke if I ate another mouthful. Then any stomach swelled out with wind, the tenderness also being so great that I could not bear any clothes on. My appetite was very capricious, as I was quite ravenous some days, whilst on others I cou'.d not eat at all. A dull paii. settled in my chest, whilst at ail I experienced great agony between my shoulders. Worse than all, I cot so de bilitated that I had to give up my housework. After the most feeble efforts to do anything a sinking feeiim:. came over me and I was prostrated for ;the rest of the day. The most hideous ■thoughts preyed upon my mind when I laid down with the intention of going jto sleep, my thoughts warden: g over tearful imaginations so persistently i'that I ccnld not even get a short doze. I became a perfect victim to insomnia, ■and have gone for wcobs without s.ee". This had such a stupifying eii'ect up i my brain that I gazci upon everything and everybody around me with that strange bewildered expression which kseen in persons who are partly dement ied. I could not collect my though's lor a moment, and as I lay in a -ort o' .dead weakness I could hear everything said and done, yet I could not speak. My tongue, which was covered with a white ccatuijr, seemed to be pire.lysoi. for it of en happened win n I wanted to .say something-that I couid not make a distinct utterance. 5 ' *■ "Were you alarmed at your condition, Mrs." Scott?''

'lhe well known Austra'ian cyclist, R W >Valne, wites to the E>unlop Tyre Company from Salt Lake Ci y (U S A) und< r date July 25th, stating that he intends leaving America for Australia on the 17th of this month. Bo.h Walne and Green (England) had met with fair success when the mail left, 'he Queenslander having won about in the Stales, and our late visitor, Jack Green, about twice that amount, and this only alter a lew week's training. Walne suss tained a bad fall whilst nifchi racing at Butte, on a nine laps to the mi e track, banked at an angle of forty degrees, but was getting over the ill effects. In Walne's opinion both Green and he cou'd about hold their own when pitted against the American cracks, and the hoped to ride in better form when they joined the big American circuit.
