Splitting Sid; Headaches. MORNING *TILL NIGHT. Another Record Recovery. The Cass of Mrs. G. TIMMEMCS. (BY A WELLINGTON REPORTER.) A representative whs received with much courtesy on visiting the home of Mrs. Catherine Thinnings, of Charlotte Avenue, i Wellington “I wish to obtain from you the whoje history of the. matter concerning yourself, which is engaging so much public attention,” said the reporter. - “You refer, of course, to my five long years of suffering. If I abstained from giving the public the benefit of my experience I would bo afraid of such an ungrateful action recoiling upon me in some serious way. You are welcome to every detail in connection with my iliness. lam sure that my wretched state of debility was brought about, in the first place, by the great physical strain of rearing a large family ; my experience being that mothers of a lot of | children are particularly susceptible to being laid up very easily. You see, wo have not the litality in mu- systems to fight against the many maladies that aro continually going about, unless we fortify ourselves by occasionally taking a good medicine, which most people experience great difficulty in finding. It is to assist others in doing so that I so freely give an outline of my case to be placed at the disposal of the community at large.” “ Did you suffer from any definite disease, -Mrs. Thinnings ? ” “It was sufficiently definite to nearly kill me, I can faithfully say. My liver was in a dreadful state of disorder. So bad, indeed, that I felt sure it was almost eaten away by disease. I was in such an alarmingly delicate state of health that I could scarcely move from one room to another.* without catching a severe cold, and when!-' my children were very young, I often had to get up from my warm bed to attend to them. - Many a violent cold have I contracted through walking about the room at night,with my babies, and my lungs eventually ’• became badly affected. I had a dry, hacking cough, which was very distressing and, irriiat-mg, and my mouth and throat were ! very sore.” - .v-. I “ What symptoms of liver complaint did ; you have ! ” - - —.' .V ? “ I became very deaf, although .my. hear- ‘ ing was previous’}- v.cry sharp/'/'BooplPyhad ; -to icpiat things in a loud voice twolbr tlirfeo i times before I could - understand what- they ) were saying.* , My tongue,, iyas thickly coated with a yellowish and my mouth had a hitter taste in if,-all day long.-' I felt lazy and languid, without enough ‘ go ’ in me to straighten up the house. It is a bad state to get into to have/work staring you in the face and yet Unable to do it. That is precisely how .[.was situated. The,: only thing that-I Could do was to lie down, : and not huther about anything. I felt too i weak to think even, although I was troubled i very frequently with strange imaginations i about something dreadful going,to happen.” ! “ Were you suffering any pain ?” . ■'< “ I had splitting sick headaches from j morning till night, and sharp, "twitching j pains behind tho shoulders never ceased,! tormenting me. These pains got worse and. i worse cverj' day, an addition to them ! appearing below my ribs. I could not lie on my side in consequence of the extreme I agony I was in, and many a night I have j been obliged to sit up in bed for hours. But | this did not matter very much in' one way, { as I could not sleep in any position. The j 1 whole of the night I used to lie awake, j although I was thoroughly fatigued and exhausted when I went to bed. In the mornings my eyes were dim and swollen, especially after severe vomiting fits, which generally came on as soon as I put my weary, aching limbs on tho move. Some mornings I was able; to take a little breakfast, which usually consisted of a small piece of toast and a cup of tea; but the awful feeling of heaviness and oppression in 1 my chest after imeh a moderate repast can [ hardly be described.. My chest felt as if it I were w ighed down by a'box of lead after! eating, and my stomach was besieged with terribly exasperating pains. Then a little 1 while after I felt myself getting full of wind, | spasms of which sometimes made mo shriek. J On numerous occasions I distinctly heard my heart hammering away against my ribs, j and the frightful palpitation continued go long that I often thought it could only end in death. My feeble appetite at length flickered away altogether. I could not touch a morsel of food, no matter how temptingly prepared. An unnatural thirst made a cup of weak tea, or a drop of milk, tho only refreshment I wanted, hut even these proved uncomfortable when I swallowed them.” “ What a sorry plight to he in ! ” “Yes it was. And yet I got worse than this, which is net unlikely, considering that I was suffering so long. My disease played havoc with my nervous system. It required hut little—sometimes nothing at all—to set my nerves in violent motion, and as I lay on my bed I felt myself twitching convulsively. Whenever I was in darkness I had a dread that some evil person was in close proximity, but I dare not get up to strike a match and look. I tried a lot of medicines which claimed to bo effective in cases like mine, but not one of them was worth the paper they were wrapped in. They did not even succeed in restoring regularity to my bowels, neither did they free me from the dizziness and faintness which were my daily torments. My face was deathly pale, and there wss nothing left of me but skin and bone.” ' ‘•'Don’t you think you should have taken, to your bed ? ” “So I did, as a matter of compulsion. I could not keep up any longer. My disease got mo down properly. Besides, I had several doctors attending me, and yet they could not cure me. Heaven only knows how much of their worthless medicines I drank, but I do know that my stomach became so frightfully weak that I could not drink any more of their stuff. There seemed nothing for me but to drag on a miserable existence till the last spark of life was taken out of me by my disease.” “You look as though you never had an ailment in your Ii«.” “That is how I feel, I am glad to say. The wonderful transformation was accomplished through nothing else but Clements Tonic, which a lady friend recommended me to take. It appears that she happened to j hear what'complaint it was that was gradually killing me, so she kindlycame to tell j me how she was one time nearly dead, and that Glemeiits Tonic brought her to life again. The'feeling of despair which had bpeii hanging over me bo long gave place to j a gleam of hope, and by the tinie my first bottle of Clements Tonio was empty, I felt that I was saved from a premature grave. Clements, Tonic struck right at the root of my disease—an evidence of which fact was shown by the gratifying decrease' of the pains in my chest and stomach! and the twitching of my nerves spon ceased entirely. The acute shafts of agony disappeared from my bickyj my headaches also' becoming tortures 1 of the past. My h family , and friends .were astonished and delighted at the way T was pulling round. Indeed, I could hardly realise that I was the , samp woman who, a few weeks back, had lost all interest in life., I ate heartily and islept.well, and my face soon had a healthy colour. The old feelings of listlessness and despondency were driven away.’ - I did not neglect one dose of Clements Tonic till I was' made perfectly sound and strong by it. Not one symptom of my complaint has returned, so - I can safely say that Clements Tonic effected a permanent cure. My children have also been built up by Clements Tonio. Please publish my case in any way you think best.” i : .i. ,'i. I, ' ‘ ■■■ ■ ■ STATUTORY DECLARATION.
