Interviewed at home, Mr. and Mrs. Bott gladly and freely gave permission for Billy’s story to be told to the world for the sake of other parents, whose children might be benefited by the treatment which finally resulted in Billy’s return to vigorous happy boyhood. Mr. Bott tells the story this way:— “The school which Billy attended was some distance from our home. To reach it, he had to cross the railway line at Lilyfield by means of an overhead bridge spanning a deep cutting. Adventurous youngsters often crawled under the fence and played on the edge of the cut. 90 FEET DOWN! DOWN! DOWN! Billy did more—he .climbed onto the brick parapet of the bridge and, leaning over, lost his balance and fell sheer down to the railway track 90 feet below. Providentially, he fell in a patch of soft mud. We believe that this was the only thing which saved his Ufa This we learned afterwards, but to continue. As n. wife was returning from a visit to town by tram on the day Billy fell, an ambulance passed, bell clanging, and obviously in urgent haste. Little my wife knew that Billy was the patient (his life ebbing away) who was being so swiftly rushed to expert aid. She was worried on her return home to find Billy had not returned from school, and her worry became increased as time crept on She was nearly frantic with anxiety by the time 1 arrived home at 6.30. There was only one thing to do» I got in touch with th© police end found after many inquiries that a boy answering to Billy's description had been admitted to the Children's Hospital, but was not expected to live the night. Rush to Hospital By car, my wife and 1 rushed to the hospital. It was our sonl Both his pelvic arches had been fractured, and there seemed little hope for his recovery. He had lain on the tracks un til his white shirt had attracted the attention of a signalman, who had dragged him clear of the lines, as a train rushed under the bridge from which he had fallen And there he was at the hospitalunable to recognise his mother or me —a wee, small urchin of five lying wan and white Fight For Life I can't pay a high enough tribute to the doctors and nurse, who pulled him .through those first desperate days when his life was in the balance and who so brilliantly worked so that Billy's terrible injuries would not leave him a lifelong cripple. Fifteen Weeks in Hospital - It was fifteen weeks before Billy was At right: Leek at the bright smiting face of Billy Baft at he it to-day, shorn > here with his mother and father fust outside their pleasant home in 240 Catherine St..

Terrible Night Terrors But we found that tha shock to hi* nervous system had been terrible. He was a sheer bundle of nerves —he could not sleep at night or if he did. he would fall into ■ fitful slumber only to awake screaming from terrible nightmares. He was like this for nearly five years We did not know what to do. Nothing seemed to give any relief, and the strain on the boy as well as on our selves was rapidly becoming unbear able. We had tried olmost everything when we were recommended to try Bidomak. Miraculous Results From Bidomak We did so, not because we thought it would really do any good, but in hope that perhaps it-might. But, I tell you, it was a miracle. Almost at once Billy calmed down—he began to sleep quietly and peacefully, and his night terrora left him. In words It l« difficult to make you understand just how much Bidomak has done for us. One would need to have experienced all I've told you to realise how much Billy went through. But he’s alright now; Just look at him. We did, and to see that happy, carefree fit young.eter made us proud to think that Bidomak had wrought ao wonderfully." The story of Billy Bott, as we have told It above, may be verified in detail by anyone who I* Interested. It waa offered to us by bit parents without solicitation and in gratitude for what Bidomak bad done. No payment was made for permission to publish the facts. Mr. and Mrs. Bott will be content if their son’s case points to the value of Bidomak for every case where children, or adults either for that matter, are run down and nervy and need the finest tonic of all to make them fit and well.
