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

Tho Cass of Mrs. G. TIMMINGS. (BY A WELLINGTON REPORTER.) A representative was rccoived <with much courtesy on visiting tho home of Mrs. Catharine Timminga; of Charlotte Avenue, Wellington. *'i wish to obtain from you tho whoto history of tho in .tter concerning yourself, which is engaging ao muoh public attention," said tho reporter. 11 You refer, of course, to my five long years of suffering. If I abstained from giving tho public the benefit of my experionce I would bo afraid of such an ungrateful action rocoihug upon me in aome serious way. You euro wolcomo to every detail in connection with my illness. lam auretthat my wretched otate of debility wu brought about, . in the first place, by the grei^b physical strain ot r -ing a large family ; my experience being that' mothers of a lot or"; children are particularly susceptible to being laid up very easily. You ace, we have not the viUlity in our systems to fight against the many maladies that ato continually going about, uuleSs we fortify ourselves by occasionally taking a good medicine, which moSv people experience- great difficulty in finding. It is to assist others in doing ao • that I so freely givo an outline of my case to be pUced at tho disposal of the community at large." • r " Did you suffer from any definite disease, Mrs. Timmings T " N "It wns sufficiently definito to nearly kill mo, I can faithfully say. My liver was in a dreadful state of disorder. So bad, indood, that I felt sure it was almost eaten ' Rway by disease. I wns in such an alarmingly delicate stato of health that I could icarcely move from ono room to another without catching a severe* cold, and when ' nty children wero very young, I often had to get up from my warm bed to attend to them. Many a> violent cold have I contracted through walking about the room at night with my babies, and my lungs ovenluakJy became badly affected. I had a dry, hacking cough, which was very distressing and irritating, and my mouth and throat were, very soro." " What symptoms of liver.complaint did you havo ? " * " I became vory deaf, although my hearing was previously very sharp. People had to repeat things in a loud voice two or.three times before I could understand what they were saying. My tongue v/as thickly coated with a yellowish moisture, and my mouth had a bitter taate in it all day long. I felt hvzy and , languid, without enough 1 go ' in me to straighten up the house. It is a bad state to get into to have work staring you in the face and yet v lablo -to do it. That ia precisely bow I was situated. The only thing that I could do was to lie down, and not bother about anything. I felt too weak to think oven, although I waa troubled very frequently with strange imaginations about something dreadful going to happen. " " Wero you suffering any pain ? " '•I had splitting sick headaches from morning till night, and sharp, twitching pains behind the shoulders never coated tormenting me. Thee X ins got wone and worao [every day, an' aJditlon to them appearing below my ribß. ' could not lie on my side in ..onscquence ' the extreme igony I wtw in, and many a night I have been obliged to sit up in bed foi hours. But this did not matter very much in one way, as I could not sleep in, any position. The whole of tho night I tiaed to Ho awake, although I was thoroughly fatigued and ex. haußted when I went to bed. In the mornings my eyes wero dim nnd swollen, especially aftor severe vomiting fits, which generally came on as soon aa I put my weary, aohing limbs on tho move. Sonio mornings I was able to tako a little breakfast,'which usually consisted of a small piece of toast .and a cup of (tea ; but tho awful feeling of hoaviness and oppression in my ohost after nuch a moderate repast can hardly be described. • My chest felt as if it woro weighed down by a box of lead after eating, and my stomach was besieged with terribly exasperating pains. Then a little while after I felt myself getting full of wind, spasms of which sometimes mado me shriek. On numerous occasions I distinctly heard my heart hammering away against my ribs,

and tho frightful palpitation continued si long that I often thought it could oliiy cnC iv death. My feeble appetite iit hngtl flickered away altogether." I could not touch a morsel of . food, no matter how temptingly prepared. An unnatural tlnrsY made a cup of weak tea, or a drop of milk, tho only refreshment I wauled, but ever the*e proved uucomfor table when I owed lowed them." '• What a sorry plight to be ia !" " Yos it was. And yet Igi t worsej thai this, which is not unlikely, considering that 1 wa« suffering bo long. My Hiseaso pl&ycc havoo with my nervous syßtoir . It requirtc" but little — sometimes nothing at 'all— to sei my nerves in violent motion, and as I laj on my bed I felt myself twitching convulsively. Whenever I was in darkness I.hnd a dread that some ovil person was in clost proximity, but I daro not got up to strike -a match and look. I tried 'ot of medicine! wlfich claimed to be effective in -ases Hk« mine, but not ono of them w&3 wortn il> « ' paper they were wrapped in. .They did no! ovmi succeed in restoring regularity to mj bowels, neither did they free mo from the dizziness and faintne&s which wore my daily torments. My face was dfp.thly pale, and there was nothing left of me but skin and bone." « "Don't yon think you should have t&keo to your bod ? " "Sol did, as a matter ■ f compulsion. I could not keep up auy longer. My disoase got me down properly. Besides, 1 had several doctors attending me, ami yet they could not cure me. Heaven only knows how, much of their worthless medicines I drank, but I do know that' my stomach became sc frightfully weak that I could not drink any more of their stuff. There seemed nothing •for mo but to drag on a miserable existence till tho lasb spark of lifo was taken out or me by my disease." " You look as though you never h*d an ailment in your life." " That is how I feel, I am glad to say. The wonderful -tr&nsfernution waa accomplished through nothii g else but Clements Tonic, which a lady frieud recommended me to take It' appears that she happened tc hear what complaint it was that was'gradually killing me, so si o kindly enmo to tel mo how sno was one timo nearly dead, anc that Clements Tonic brought her to lift again. The feclin of dcEpiir whioh bar. been hanging over me bo long gave place to a gleam of liopo, and by the timo my tirtrtt bottle of Cle .ent-s Tonic was empty ,l folt that I was saved from a premature grave. . Ulemouls Tonic struck right at tho root of my disoaso — an ovidenco of which fact was shown by tho gratifying decrcaso of - tho pains in try chest and stom.acli, and tho twitching of my nerves coon ceased culircly. The acute shafts of agony disappeared from my bhek ; 'my headaches also becoming tortures o tho past. My family ana friends were astonished and delighted at tho way I was pulling round. ludcedj I could hardly realise that I was tbo same woman who, a fo r weeks back, had lost sll interest in life. I ate heartily and' Blept well, and my face soon had a healthy colour. Tho oW feelings of listlessnessand denpondoncy were driven away. I did noj neglect one doso of Clements Txjnic fill I 'was mado perfectly sound aud strong by it. Not one symptom of my complaint has returned, so I can safely sft • that Clements Tonic effocted a permanent cure. My childreu li&vo also been built up by Clo»net\ts Tonic.
