' PUBLIC NOTICES. "Timed andTriecC WEIGHED AND NOT FOUND WANTING. A Story for Sceptical Minds.

The Case of Mrs. J. RENNIE. (a special investigation). When all ia said ami done, there is only one sure way of finding life delightful, anil that is by being helpful. This may, in a icnse, be looked on as a selfish maxim, but It is a kind of selfishness which would beno8t the world if there were a liitlo more of it, especially when the efforts to assist the aoedy bear reference to such important natters as are spoken of by Mrs. .lane Rennie, of No. 192 Cumberland Street, Dunedin.- “ A little more than two years ago,” rein rked that lady, “I was in such a lelicalc stale of health lint I had to go to a lospital. I felt so dreadfully ill that I intortained grave doubts as to wiiat the tear future would bring, ami I am sure I night to be very thankful for being alive Mid iu such good health to-day.” “ Did the doctors say what was wrong ffith you?” enquired the pressman who had Men instructed to enquire into this matter. “Iheys id t was my livei that was out of trder and that 1 had indigestion in a very bad lonn. 1 knew that much myself, for I bad Hicli a heavy folding in my chest Unit I had X> fairly gasp for breath, and sometimes the pains in that part were so acute that 1 had W squeeze inv chest with both hands to try » suppress them. Kcgbt down here, tin,” will Mrs. Rennie, drawing her hand along ihe right side, “ I had the most excruciating Agonies that a suffering woman could Itrnggle against, and when I had taken any lood the pains in my stomach were so great, that 1 could hardly endure them. It fell as though I were chock full of wind that could lot escape, and until it was belched away •he torlme 1 had to put up with was •ndcscrihahle, Ikfoie I took ill myself I Bad ;ften heard people talking about inJigestion, and I used to think it could not se half so had as they tried to make out: aut I know how terrible it is now an i I would like to aid those who arc suffer ng in the san e way to get rid of it. If I took a Stink of water or a cup of lea I had a r emsa. •ion in my stomach as if the liquid was going jver a big stone. The loss of mv appr-t ite jras another of mv misfortunes, Cut i was ietermined not to starve, so I used to make myself eat, yet 1 did not gain anything by Suing so, us t invariably had to go out into ihe yard and vomit every tiling up again. Oh ! it was pitiful to see how weak 1 got, with no color iu my taco and no ambition . r desire to do anything. For all the good 1 was I might just as well have been out of ihfl world altogether, and in one way it would have been better so, for then I «ould lave been free from the agonies that were nuking mo a cmmu'cie wreck. Across my orehcad 1 was alllicted with pains that lecmed to ulfect my sight, and in my eyes •hero w s a feeling as if they were 100 hng-i or their sockets. I used to put vinegar and vater cloths? to my head to see if they would give me ease ; hut whatever relic 1 ' I {ot did not last long, and after the brief ■eapite the pains seemed to get, ten tiim-s Torse. My doctor advised me to put some pirils on a cloth and then apply to my lead, but it was all mclcss. There was lothing in the way ot medicine which could live me the least help against mv afflictions, nd so 1 went on until I was nearly drhen o despair. If I closed my eyes fur a nomeni/ 'vlvn I opened them 1 could sec nnall black specks dancing all louiid. and I ised to get so giddy that I had to hold on to •nything handy and call out for some one .0 bring me a chair. 1 got so feeble that I elt as if 1 could just lie down and never •other about getting up again. ” '‘How did yon rest at nights?’’
