■ Another Case' of General Debility -.AND Nervous Prostration' . Radically Qurodu The Case of IVlrs. MARY'TAYLOR. [From the "Leichhardt Standard.") (BY OUR, SPECIAL REPORTER.) Mrs. Taylor carries on a prosperous business as a general storekeeper in Cecilyatreety Lilyfield, Leichhardt, near Sydney, where she also resides. Ik was at this iddress that a Standard reporter interviewed that lady the other day and obtained a full and clear account of her recovery from a serious state of General Debility and Nervous Prostration, . which was the result, of a severe shock occasioned by a sudden and "fatal accident which happened to her first husband. "It was A Terrible Shock co me," explained the lady to the newspaper man, " and I thought at the time ] should never get over it The shock left me so nervous that I started trembling and, shaking on the least provocation. Going to bed was a mere, farce, for I never got any true sleep. Certainly, I should occasionally dose off for a while, but what good was that ? and in the morning I was so tired that I could hardly get out ii Hod. I got very thin and pale ; and no wonder, foe ipy appetite was gone altogether. ,1 could eat nothing scarcely. I turned against my ,meals, tfnd was forced \o . live almpst entirely on invalids' foods, and I got so enfeebled my digestive organs could not digest even this light nutriment. A pain in the chest was always present after eating,' in addition to dull, aching pains between the shoulders, and all the food I ate tasted bitter to me. Sometimes, too, I would have A Dreadful Sinking1 Feeling as though everything was going to give wa> under me. * Miserable headaches were my daily companions." "You were to be, much pitied, Mrs. Taylor.".-.-' '•Despondency seized me," continued that lady. " The gloomiest thoughts' of the future were always with me; nothing could interest me, and nothing' could arouse roe from the hopeless state into which I had gradually fallen. I cared- neither to speak to my neighbours and friends nor to read a book or a paper. I grew worse every day. My nervous system was in a shocking state —just like a piano all out of tune. My friends said to me in a low, startled tone of voice, •Why, You Look Awful,' and indeed I thought I was going to die, and truly,. I was brought so low down, and life seemed so dark, that I hardly cared whether I got better or not. I was a shattered wreck of what I used to be-^-just a worn-out frame in which the vitality was fast failing. I never look back atf" that unhappy -time now, and never talk about it if I can help it. . Enough for me to say that I was helpless for over two months." " You were lucky to get over it? " "Yes, I was. It was all through Clements Tonic, and I shall never forget being first pressed to take that remedy. I fully believed that my nervous affection could not be cured by any medicine. But what a mistake I had been making all this time. I took Cl&ments Tonic for three or four days1 and a sudden change for the better came over me. My nerves were much more restful, and I got long stretches of sound sleep. I began to awake out of the heavy stupor which had surrounded me. I could take an interest in my business affairs, and everything looked to be bathed in sunlight instead of shadow. I became hopeful, and dropped my low. spirits entirely. I soon enjoyed my meals, and got stronger and stouter every day. When I went to see my late husband's friends they were astonished. ' Why, whatever good thing have you been taking,' they asked ? Smiling, I told them I had taUen nothing but Clements Tonic, and to that remedy, and that alone, I owe my complete return, to 'lealth. Well, by keeping on with Clements Tonic I soon pulled myself quite round. I felt it building me up with every dose, and shortly I was able to do without it altogether, being as healthy and cheerful as I could wish to be." " I may put this in the Standard ?" " Yes; I owe so much.to Clements Tonic that it is at the same time a pleasure as a duty to comply with your request." STATUTORY DECLARATION. I, Mary Taylor, of Cecily-street, Lilyfield, Leichhardt, Sydney, in the Colony of New South Wales, do {solemnly and sincerely declare that_ I have carefully read the annexed document;, consisting of four folio's and consecutively numbered from one to four, and that it contains and is a'true and faithful account • of my illness and cure by Clements Tonic, and also contains my full permission to publish the same U any way ; and I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to b<* true, and by virtue of the provisions of an Act made and passed in the ninth year of the reign of her present Majesty, intituled " An Act for the.more effectual abolition of Oaths and Affirmations taken and made in the various Departments of the Govcrnmentof New South Wales, and to substitute Declarations ir. lieu thereof, and for the suppression of voluntary and extra-judicial Oatlia and Affidavits."
