A Nervous Breakdown.

AIL TREATMENTS FAIL, Byt CLEMENTS TONIC CURES.

(nr oxm speoud reporter.) am busy now, but if you will call in the coarse of halx-ah-hour I shall be pleased to answer tiny questions on the subject of my Cure. 11 This was the answer furnished to Otie reporter by Mr. J. S. Myers, proprietor of the Auburn Bakery, Harrow Road, Auburn, hear Sydney. Consequently our reporter called again at Mr, Myers’ residence, and was shown into the drawing-room, where that gentleman shortly afterwards appeared. “What was the cause of your illness, asked the reporter ? ” “ I c&nnot tell you with certainty,” replica Mr. Myers, “ but as I come of a particularly healthy and long-lived family I am inclined to think my illness was the result of an accident. A q; Fall from a Horse, when I was about 14 years of age had, I believe, no little to do with it, as I con. tinually suffered from headache, afterwards. I was du the South Sea Islands, too, for some years, and the climate by no means improved my health. It is since I returned from the islands that I began to be troubled with Severe Nervous Headaches, which chiefly affected the back of my head. These were much intensified by the confinement and hard mental work which I had to undergo in the,conducting of my business, and especially in keeping my accounts. I was, jn addition, obliged to superintend the operations in the bakehouse, where the stifling atmosphere had a tendency to make my general health worse. I was not able to take a holiday, and, as a consequence. Health Broke Down, 1 became very nervous and irritable. My headaches came onat more frequent intervals, and were exceedingly violent. I couldn’t bear the children’s noise, even if they chattered in my presence, and such small trifles which once gave me no concern worried me exceedingly. I began to lose n y appetite, and often when I was called to ay meals I could do no more than make a nore pretence of eating. Then indigestion ct in. Nothing I ate agreed with me, and ay food would lie undigested on my stomach or long enough, giving me considerable Pain and Distress, ty system was entirely out of tune. I was jrapletely run down. I passed long, weariorne, sleepless nights turning from side to ide, in vain trying to get gome rest, and in he mornings I was dull and tired, and felt Entirely unable to attend omy business. In fact, I was compelled to )ut my books aside.” “Did you consult any doctors, Mr. dyers?” “Yea. Before I came nere I was attended >y several doctors, but they failed to cure ae, though occasxonally I obtained tempoary relief. One of the doctors said I should hvays have the headaches.” “ And did you get no relief ?” “ Ho, I got no better, infact, I continued , t >ot worse. ' My continued 1 ill-health ssed me to suffer from Q/eat Depression of Spirits. could tskke po interest in anything, not ia iy. business, nonyefc in what was happening
