(Fivm the ** Newtown, Independent. 3 ') (b? our special reporter. ) The following remarkable story was obtained from- " Mrs. Grocer, of Newman Street, Newtown, Sydney, by our reporter in consequence of his request to that lady for a short outline of her sufferings. Mr 3. Williams spoke: feelingly, but shortly, and to the point. ’.She began by saying: - ' ' “ I was never well after the birth of my last child. My system was thoroughly upset. 3 For a time I was constantly attended by two doctors. I underwent two different operations, and after this was left in a very weak and perilous state. 5 * “ You were lucky to survive under the circumstances.” ' . .

Complication upou complication arose from my Hines?.. All the ills in the world seemed to settle upon me, not the least of which was dropsy. My food had no strengthening effect; it all turned to water, for, as you can see, the dropsy was a continual drain upon my system. I formerly slept comparatively well, but now I began to pass restless nights: indeed, some nights I never closed.my eyes. My head ached perpetually, and uvy appetite failed me. I bore up against all these troubles as bravely as I could, but the time came when my nerves could stand it no longer. Like every other part of rny body they, too, suffered from improper nutrition. They were literally starved. They grew weaker and weaker, and finally I became a sufferer from severe nervous exhaustion, with all its attendant evils. X was terribly low spirited, and fully persuaded Lhat I should never get better. Whilst in this broken and low state neuralgia attacked me. Not a mere spasrn coming on’ at intervals, but continuous shooting attacks of an intensely painful n despair what to dc, les without number, and fmomcnt’a relief from any iow Lwas convinced that !ied"a'^.med y that could frvated svilem if X could but character.
