DYSPEPSIA, PALPITATION, CURE, The Case of Mrs. T. L. SIMMONS. (By a Dam din Reporter). Calling one day at No. 135 Cumber-land-street, Duuedin, our reporter saw Mrs. Teresa Loral Simmons, who, in answer to a question, taid: '' I have gone through a remarkable experience of suffering in my days, aiu' if I tell you how it was all brought to a close, I am sure the information will be of great value tc others. I used to be one of those frai creatures who are for ever ailing. memories of my younger days are connected with periodical attacks of sickness, each illness assisting to crush the vi.ality out of my system till I became so weak and wretched at last that I had to lie up. For months before this happened I felt languid and disinclined to work. The lightest portions of housework had an enervating effect upon me, even to dust the furniture making me feel as tired as if I had been doing a hard day's washing. It was too much trouble for me to eat, because I had very little desire for food, which, when I did take any, made me feel fright fully uncomfortable in the stomach where it remained in an undigested, hard lump. I used to swell out ter rib'y with wind, besides suffering much pain from spasms which set my near; all of a flutter. Palpitation used to come on regularly after eating, but more especially at night, when lying in bed and I was afraid to move for fear of making it worse, or, more terrifying still, cease beating for ever. My chest felt stuffed up, thus making it hard for me to breathe, and there was a terrible pain in my right side and in the upper part of my back." " Did you get any better after resting?" "Not a bit. I got worse, for the absence of plenty of fresh air and want of exercise did away with my appetite altogether. However nice the food might be, the sight of it turned me sick As the fumes of cocking reached my nostrils I almost heaved my heart up. My complexion was also very bad. You woa'd have thought I had some Oriental l.'ood in mv veins if you had seen my face then, and ray eyes were awfully dead-looking. When I was just about as weak as a woman could be, I was afflicted with another complaint. My nerves went wrong. I used to lio and shake like one with St. Vitus' dance, and if I happened to ho left a'one in the house I felt very timid and nervous. If a knock came I was too frightened to go to the door. My life was one perpetual round of agonies and anxieties. I was horribly depressed in spirits, as if nothing could possibly cheer me. A peculiar singing noise ran through my producing a very distres ing effect, and my mouth, well, the bitter taste in it was something dreadful. The bones were neary poking through my skin, I was so thin. Following the wreck of my nervous system came violent attacks of neuralgia. The pains which started in the side of my face and shot up to the roof of my head sent me nearly mad. These tortures lasted two or three days without ceasing. 1 was unable to go myseJf, so my husband brought in a doctor, who said I had no constitution at all. 'Your health is completely broken down,' he said, and so it was, for I was in bed three months a helpless invalid." " Was the doctor in constant attendance?" $ "No less than three doctors attended me, each prescribing different medicines, all of which were impotent and worthless. I was thus without a shred of hopo to cling to, and I dread to think of what would have happened if I had not been recommended by a chemist to take Clements Tonic, which quickly cured my neuralgia and gave me an appetite. Sweet, undisturbed sleep came, and gave me the rest I needed, nervousness left me, and strength returned. Flesh grew over my frame, a healthy colour appeared in my cheeks, and noi a ira.ee of indigestion or debility remained. I was saved by Clements Tonic, so you may pub'ish these statements any way you think best."
