Another Case of Genera! Debility AND Nervous Prostration RadicaSSy Qyrec3. The Case of Mrs. SV3ARY TAYLOR. •* (From Ihe "Leichhardt Standard.") (by otjs special, reporter.) Mrs. Taylor carries on a prosperous business as a general storekeeper in Cecily - street, Lilyfield, Leichhardt, near Sydney, where she also resides. It Avas at_ihii address that a Standard reporter inter viewed 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 Avas the result of a severe shod; occasioned by a sudden and fatal accide»«' Which happened to her first husband. "It was A Terrible Shock to me," explained the lady to the neAV&paper man, "and I "thought at the time ] should never get over ifc. The shock left me so nervous that I started trembling anc", shaking on the least provocation. Going t< bed Avas a mere farce, fo? I never got am true sleep. Certainly, 1 should occasion ally dose off for a while, hut Avhat good A\a.» that ? and in the morning 1 was so tired that I could hardly get out 51 hcd. I got very thin and pals ; and no Mroncter, for ipy appetite Avas gone altogether. I could eai nothing scarcely. I turned against my meals, and was forced <;o live almost entirely on invalids' foods, and I got so enfeebled my digestive organs could not digest even this light nutriment. A pain in the chest Avas always present after eating, in addition to dull, aching pains betAveen the shoulders, and all the food I ate tasted fitter to me. Sometimes, too, I would have A Dreadful Sinking Feeling as though everything was going to give way under me. Miserable, headaches Avere my daily companions." " You Avere to be much pitied, Mrs. Taylor." '•Despondency seized me," continued that lady. " The gloomiest thoughts of the future were always Avifch me; nothing could interest me, and nothing could arouse n.e from the hopeless state into Avhich I had gradually fallen. I cared neither to speak to my neighbours and friends nor to read a book or a paper. I greAV Avorse every day. My nen r ous system Avas in a shocking state — just like a piano all out of tune. Mj friends •aid to me in a low, startled tone of voice, 'Why, You Look Awful,' and indeed I thought I Avas going to die, and truly, I was brought so low doAvn, and life seemed so dark, that I hardly cured whether I got better or not. I Avas a shattered Avrcckof Avhatl used to be — just a worn-out frame in which the vitality was fast failing. I never look back at that unhappy time noAV, and never talk about it if I can help it. Enough for me to say Miat I was helpless for over tAVo months." " You Avere lucky to get over it? " "Yes, I Avas. It Avas 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. ,1 took Clements Tonic for three or four days and a sudden change for the better came over me. My nerves Avere 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 - Bntirely. I soon enjoyed my meals, and got Btronger and stouter every day. I went to see my late husband's friends they were astonished. ' Why, Avhatever good thing have you been taking,' they. asked? Smiling, I told them I had taken nothing but Clements Tonic, and to that remevly, and that alone, I owe my complete, return to health. Well, by keepiug on Avith Clements Tonic I soon pulled myself quite round. I felt it building me up Avith every dose, and shortly I was able to do,, Avithout it altogether, being as healthy and cheerful as I could Avish 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 iuty to comply with your request." STATUTORY • DECLARATION.
