A DEEP . IMPRESSION.

" Ths Caso A. MERRY. (mrnsmmm). jSS&lwa tiro realisation of the immense 4£nrce of advantage to his fellow-citizens tfiich such experiences must result in that prompted Mr, Alfred Merry, of -Wilkio Rood, Kensington, Donedin, to give these particulars to our reporter:— " Ever since ; tho days that I 'wont to ••shool," said Mr. Merry, "Ihaye known what Ibis to suffer from dyspeptic troubles; but a little over three years ago I had a very bad lffr» with indigestioai It seemed.as if my disorders had been swelling: in intensity during all the previoHS years, and had then token out with thoir utmost Violence, For s. long tittle I noticed that my vitality was on the wane, as I did not have any energy {or my worit, and when that was dragged thronglrl had no inclination for any sort of Ktjoyment at night. I did not want to exert myself in any way, and from the time I got op in the morning I was ptaymg for bedtime to come round again. 1 was always drowsy, depressed in spirits, and without particle of animation."

■ "Were you ablo to sleep well whoa you retired at nights?" asked tin scribe.

"That was the funny part of it—or, I ihould say, the unfortunate part of it—for I could not get to sleep anyhow, not till tho night* were far spent, so that would account Aw my weary feelings in tho mornings, fan: see, my work is all done indoors, and I suppose the sedentary life I lead has a ifcndoncy towards destroying one's digestion, for you can tell by tho appearanee of those who nfork inside offices and warehouses that their internal organs aro not so healthy as those whose employment is in-the fresh air. Jfor some time;! had'riot been a large eater, bat when my health failed altogether three years ago I lost my appetite completely, so that what I tool: was only forced down, and it did not do me any good either. The reverse 4 ivaa really th«i caso, as any food leave mo a. feeling in the stomach as if wind Jiad twisted and twisted till it had formed ictoa Icndt, and tho pain was really tcrrifie. tn my shoulders—or, I should say, under tbe blades of them—l experienced a great amount of agony, and the pains that I had Su my back were enough to make any man's life a misery to him, without having any other afflictions to put up with. My chest became so tender owing to the heavy pains that affected me that it was positively painful to touch it with my finger, and it was birita surprising how short-winded I gi>t Swing to those horribly oppressive sensations. Having sustained such a great loss pi ntrangtli through the years of suffering I jmdurtd, my nerves had nothing, to support them, and I got into that irritable and nervous. condition that even the jolt of a car would annoy me."

, "Yon must have iim! a considerable mnotmt of medical treatment daring so many years of adversity 1" "Well, of course; iornonmn can go on fontiniially in Such a wretched condition and not make on attempt of some .sort to got -well. I was under the treatment of several doctors, but. I was no better off wlitn I had finished with them thai? I was before, wid that mads me more melancholy than over, 1 felt that I did not value money T anything else, and many a time I wished I was dead. When I walked tho aches cross my loins-were very troublesome, but Urn aches were not only, there, as I could feb! similar sensations in all my limbs, relrich was probably the result of the great weakness which had overtaken me. My [iDnessahad already assumed alarming dimensions—l might say'alarming,' if for IK other reason than that I had gained no iljenefit from any medicines yet taken—and fwasvery sceptical aboutthepossibility of any. physic improving my wretched condition, so I 'jtfimt to another doctor one day and asked ,oim straightoufc if lie could do me any good. (He replied by aakiug me * lot of questions }s to how I felt and so on, and then pre-, jseribeii mfire physio. 4 I returned to him
