A Strange Nervous Complaint. A Complete Core after a Tour among th@ Leading Lights of the Medical Profession without benefit. The Case of MSS. AH HE PRITCHARD, (From the “ Rockdale. Advocate.'*) Although midsummer, it was delightfully fine and cool when our reporter arrived at the pretty little town of Hurstville, which Sydney claims as a suburb. Not far from the railway station the newspaper man tound a large and particularly well kept orchard, surrounding a solidly built stone house, which overlooks wide stretches of undulating bush, and, finally, the blue uafers of the Pacific itself. On enquiry it turned out to be ilie very house he was looking tor, and a lew minutes later saw him comfortably ensconced on the verandah enjoying the cooling breeze and chatting atlabiy the while with Mrs. Pritchard, the proprietress of this charming demesne. c<radually Pie conversation veered round tc JSi-s. Priichard's fate illness and her wonderful restoration to perfect health. Our reporter, who had heard of ~tlie subject from many neighbours, was all attention, and missed nothing of the lady's narrative. “ i was attacAe i with a strange nervous comp'aint,” sdd he. “ I didn't know what iv;p the inatier, and even thu «:oetors were entirely tny-tilled. The enu-e or- my complaint was unknown to me then, and -it is a » Lizzie to me even to this day ; not that l care now what ailed me, for i am completely emeu now, th umb not by the many clever Sydney doctors who artended me, but by a far simpler and cheaper pr-•cess.” •* Ves.” said our reporter, deeply interested. “ What was that ?” “ Cements Tonic —and, indeed, I wanted something that had g od curative properties 1 can assure you,"for my disease was a weird one. It heralded its arrival by a gradual physical change, which is quite indescribable. It was although the light and hope was gone out of n.y life. Mf nervous vitality began to wane away, and my physical Mrergth started on the same down grade. A severe and heavy depro:-sion of spirits settled upon me like a nightmare I was no longer able to attend to household 111 stters. In fact, I felt 1 didn't care what became of me or my house. .My interest in everything was gone, and a!! rny thoughts were taken up with one desire, which waa to bed out a way to get back my 10-,t health and spirits. My appetite was gone. Trifling matters excited and frightened me, and the most circa ful feelings of apprehension frequently held sway over me. I fell away most seriously in weight, and it was then that I commenced my tour among the doctors— not ordin try practitioners, but the lea ing lights of the medical world. But these gentlemen, with all their skill and scientific knowledge, could make no progress towards the cure of my distressing nervous malady. Some of them vaguely hinted nr. general nervous weakness, others hazarded a guess that my disease svas one of the heart. I took all their prescriptions, but my condition was not ameliorated. 1 then, in a tort of desperation, called on several herbalists.” “Ah 1” said our reporter, somewhat startled. *• Ves,” said Mrs Pritchard, “ I know now I made a mistake. There is no good to be got that way, nor from their so-called remedies, as I found out to my cost. At last i almost resigned myself to my fate. I thought there was no remedy for rny disease. 1 was entirely wrong. Clements Tonic was pressed upon my notice, and its restorative power made itself quickly felt. M/ nerves daily gathered strength and tone through the me of that remedy, and rny spirits improved wonderfully. That dreadful low spurted feeling was soon gone. Finally, Clements Tonic put me in perfect health. \ had been ill for years, but it eradicated all disease from my system in a very few weeks, My nerves are as strong tis can be desired, and I have not enjoyed such perfect health and strength since I was a girl. All this is owing to the use of Clements Tonic.” “ Thank you,” said the reporter, putting up his note book, ‘‘this will make interesting matter for our paper. May we publish it ?” “ Yes.” STATUTORY DECLARATION.
