• ; {See-Sydney “Hhening News,” IdjGjOS.y i (nr OUR SPECIAL REPORTER.) ; Mrs. Bushby, of 69 Crown-street, Sydney* having been cured of A Dangerous Complication* of ailments by Clements Tonic, and this having come to our ears, our reporter was specially commissioned jto wait on that lady and obtain from her own lips a detailed account of her case. Mrs. Bushby rodpived the newspaper man most kindly. “ I should indeed beungratefiil,” .she stated* if 1 withheld' from the world the whole history of my illness and how I _ Was Entirely Cured by Clements Tonic, after trying in vain many remedies and many doctors, who gave me up as incurable; in fact, I have often thought of writing to the papers myself about it, with the hope that other women, who are suffering as I did for years, might know how Clements Tonic saved me, and would save them.” “ Will you kindly inform me how and in what way you first fell ill ? ” “ Well, you must know,” replied'Mrs. Bushby, “I am the mother of seven children, and I think the strain of so many children weakens one much and makes one the more liable to get seriously ill from slight causes. I have been accustomed also to nurse my children a much longer time than the doctors advised me. I did not wean my last child till he was seventeen months old. It was shortly after this that I had a premature confinement. It was no light matter. I was laid up

In Bed seriously ill. The doctor who attended me at this time said that the accident that had happened to me was simply the result of weakness. , I had got into a very low state owing to my not weaning my child earlier. I had continual internal bleeding. I insisted, against the doctor’s advice, in getting about within & couple of weeks, and from that time I data the serious illness which clung to me For so Many Months. Although, when too late, I took every care of myself, I got thinner, weaker, and more debilitated every day. Sometimes when utanding up a sudden faintness would seize me, everything would seem to go dark, there would be a roaring noise in my ears, und.l should fall to the ground in A Half-Conscious State. My complexion became sallow and parch-ment-like, ’with heavy dark marks under the eyes. My face got thin, pinched, and drawn. My gums and lips were of an unhealthy blue colour. My blood was in a terribly thin state, and my digestion was so weak that I could only take very light food, and in very small quantities, which did me but little good, and only digested by : Slow ansi Painful Degrees. I was more weary when I got up in the morning than when I went to bed at night. I consulted another doctor about this time, and he said my liver was deranged and that I was suffering from extreme weakness arising through the impoverished and Watery state of my blood—anaemia, I think he called it. He prescribed both medicines and pills for me. He told me they were strengthening remedies, and I took them as directed, but they did me no good at all, and I continued to get worse. I suffered continually from nervous headaches. My head was never completely free from pain. A strange trembling came on me at times. I had fallen into such a Nervous and Depressed State that I was frightened to walk even a few yards down the street without someone afc my side. The least sudden sound would bring on palpitation of the heart, and I had to catch at the first thing I could To Save Myself from falling, and lie still for a time till the palpitation of the heart became less violent. Sometimes this would come on without any • apparent cause.” “ Did you stiff have fainting fits ?” • ‘ Yes, I did. As I got worse they became more frequent. I was never sure when I should have one and fall down Quite Unconscious. I went to a dispensary. They asked me a great many questions and prescribed for me, but no benefit resulted. I then sent for another doctor. I was Too ill to go to him. Ha came and examined me most attentively, and told me amongst other things that the palpitation of the heart and the fainting fits were the result of heart disease. I took his medicines, bat derived no benefit from them. I was in Despair. I really thought I was not long for this verhL _JL tried nearly everything—all kinds
