BE GUIDED BT OTHERS' EXPERIENCES. The Case of Mr. R. N. FLETCHER. (BT A LOCAL REPORTER.) Absolute hunger is not a trial which ia usually familiar in this country, and however much imagination may take the place of experience the realisation of its terrors cancot be very vivid unless they have been endured ; bub when all the evils of life are reduced to their elementary forms, sickness is undoubtedly the most real, and it is to save our fellows from hardships in that reBpect that such aid as the following was solicited by a reporter from Mr. Robert Henry Fletcher, of 9 Hope-street, Dunedio, who Baid: "Some four years back my health was in a very queer state indeed. It was after the bußy season of Christmas time that I found my nerves had collapsed under the heavy strain, but I was in hopes that the rest I would get during the holidays might have the effect of bracing mo up ;tgain. It was not to be, however, and instead of getting better I got considerably worse." "You meau that other complications arose?" suggested the pressman. "Just so : for one tiling I experienced the disadvantage of losing my appetite, as I could not eat anything with the least degree of relish, and the tuifortun ite part of it all was, that the small quantity I did partake of did not do me any gooil. Quite the reverse, in point of faei, for then I had all the unpleasant sseti w at ions of indigestion to contend with, not tin? leasr. annoying of which was a great sense of oppression in my chest, as if what I hiid sv ;>lb'wed had stopped there and turned to stone. Troubles were further augmented through the fermentation of the food, which brought about a very uncomfortable sunsntinn in the stomach when it became filled with wind, and I suffered very tench with sort of headache like a throbbing in my temples. It was a very unhappy I hristnias for me, but I would not have minded thai so much if I had only got betterand beenardo t<» start work afresh." " You wfiv .miiih! time, then."
