Public, Notices, Worldly Wealth .. J fn .. Physical Health. THE WISDOM OF THE LATTER,

The O&se of Mrs. E, GARTER, (BT A LOCAL REPORTER.) The moat luxury-loving and self-centred of women, if given wealth beyond the! dreams of avarice, would find that, having • provided herself with the loveliest clothes, 1 the finest jewlla, the daintiest food, the most artistic dwelling, with still more clothes, and jewels and food, and dwellings, and again more, these things would soon pall once the novelty had worn off; but, as Mrs. Ellen Carter, of No. 56 DowlingBtreet, Dunedin, said to our reporter, “ one never becomes satiated with good health." Continuing, Mrs. Carter said “ The better my health, the more I can appreciate all the blessings of life.” “ Perhaps you have had ill luck, which makes you value good fortune in that respect," said the scribe. • “ You are quite right,” was the reply, "for I have had a fair share of sickness in my time. It is fourteen years since I recovered from a dreadful illness that had lasted ra» for many years. I had not the energy or will to do my work with a cheerful spirit, and, worse still, my digestive organs were altogether upset. I liad no appetite for my food, and I went right away from sleep.” ‘‘ Can you assign any particular cause fer the derangement of your digestion.” ‘‘l believe it all happened through the neuralgia troubles chat I he -I been a martyr to bo long. I went to several doctors, and they all recommended me to have ray teeth drawn, but 1 am thankful to say 1 did not follow their advice. Oh ! how frightfully severe the pains were, though ! flight along my jaws and even in my eyes 1 felt them—in the left one particulai ly The pains were so intense at times that they almost deprived me of my senses. Sometimes a benumbed feeling came into the back of my head as though it were cold and empty, and I used to have to keep a shawl wrapped round it to shut out the air. In those days I had a splendid head of hair, but when one of my doctors said it was 100 heavy for me, and that my sufferings ware greater in consequence, I had it cut short, bat that did not make any difference to my torments. In the winter my neuralgic agonies used to start at about four o’clock in the afternoon and keep on worrying me all night, so that at length my restlessness became chronic, ami I never knew what it was to have any sleep. In this way I got thoroughly worn out and took no interest in life. The heavy, drowsy, and languid feelings would not go away, and my melancholy condition was made all the more unbearable by having to put up with an Uncomfortable feeling in the stomach after taking a little food, and a nauseous taste was in my month every morning. When I arose, after spending another n.ght iu turn ing from one side to another, 1 felt tl'&t from sheer weakness my limbs were aching, and to face the day’s duties in that state Was really more than I could bring myself to do. What distressed me as much as anything was the palpitation of my heart, for when that organ is affected it makes one fear that the worst may happen at any moment.”

“ Such a symptom would naturally make you amious.” “ Oh ! I used to fancy all sorts of horrible things, and I was so intensely nervous that 1 was almost afraid of my own shadow; while if anything liappened suddenly it set my nerves all of a shake. Everything be. came a trouble. If I went to dress the children to take them out it seemed a terrible task, for I really had not the heart to exert myself in the least. Nasty pains affected me in the chest, and the pains caused through wind ia the were awful. Often I vomited my food soon after taking ft, and that weakened me all the more. I bad a terrible backache morning, noon, and Eight It was so bad that i could not stand
