The Case of Mrs. L. Ai PARKERSON. • (BY A SPECIAL REPORTER.) Ibis not easy for the average citizen to follow the intricacies of public finances, and with those who do. study the figures the memory does nob always retain the details ; but with such a subject as that spoken of below by Mrs. Louisa Augusta Parkerson, of 117 Athol Place, Dunedin, there is an individual interest at stake which makes it' worth while to remember each utterance, the first of which was : “ My health was in a fearfully debilitated state three years ago, and it is something that I have to be extremely thankful for that I nm here and in such good condition to-day. Those who saw me then littlo thought that such a remarkable change was possible, for I was thin' and haggard and as white as a ghost.” " What had happsned,” asked the reporter, “ to bring you like that ? ” “ My internal organs were all wrong, and had been for a great length of time, as it was quite an impossibility for me to digest any food, even if I-exercised the utmost discretion in selecting the littlo I ate, and I assure you it was bnb a very small amount of nourishment that I took at a time, for my appetito was so dreadfully poor. Gradually I got so wpak that it was as much as I could do to walk, and when I did I became so dazed and giddy that I quickly sat down again for fear of falling. It was the mo-t unhappy experience one could have to bo so feeble and depressed and not to be able to get any proper rest. I used to go to bed and listen to the clock chiming every quarter of an hour until the daylight stole into my room, and as it was quite useless trying to get any sleep then 1 would get up feelingreallymoredead than alive. And when I thought of the long day of suffering and heartache that was again in front of me I felt like one afflicted with utter loss of hope. I was always intensely languid and tired of everything, as if there were' nothing in the world that could absorb my attention for a moment or give me the least particle of pleasure in life. In every way 1 was completely out of sorts, and my norves were in a terribly bad state. Sometimes I could not speak to people owing to my extreme nervousness, and often I have sst and felt mysolf shaking from head to foot, and have not been aHe to do anything for the excessive trembling of my nerves.” “You really had » bad time, Mrs. Parkerson.” “ It is quite beyond my powers of speech to clearly describe my sufferings, for a nervous terror was continually pervading my mind and making me feel that something dreadful was going to happen at every tiv n. If I chanced to snatch a few hours’ sloe > I had all sorts of dreams, that seemed to ce•troy all the refreshing influences of slumber, as I felt no better for it, and as for do ng my housework—well, that was not to oe thought of, for I was hclplessTn the matter. The least thiug that went wrong vexed me, and I was up in a state of excitement at the slightest cause. That in itself will tell you how upside-down everything was witli me, as I am naturally of an easy-going and philosophical temperament ; but to be daily suffering from acute headaches is enough to make anybody cross. A strange dimness used to overshadow my eyes, too, and I could see black spots in front of me ; but my heart was one of my greatest troubles. It was always palpitating and fluttering as though it was diseased. Upon my word, I do not think there was any part of my body that was not out of order, for I suffered -with oppression in the chest and very often with flatulence, while the pains between vny shoulders were so severe that I could scarcely stand them. Over my loins were aches that were almost unbearable, and I had a dry, hacking cough that caused me no end of misery.”
