Another Case of General Debility . AND Nervous Prostration RadicaiSy CyredL The Case of Mrs. MARY TAYLOR. (From the "Leichhctrdt Standard") (by our special eeporter.) "Irs. Taylor carries on a prosperous business as a general storekeeper in. CecilyBtreet, Lilyfield, Leichhardt, neat; Sydney, where she also resides. It was at this address; that a Standard reporter interviewed th it latly the other day and obtained •a full- and clear account of her recovery . from ,a serious slate of General Debility and Nervous Prostration, which was the resnlt .of a severe shock occasioned by a sudden and fatal acoideu* which happened to'her first husband. " It was A Terrible Shock bo me,'-' explained the lady to the newspaper man, "and I thought at the time I 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 shoul.l occasionally dose off for a while, but whut good was ihat ? and in the morning ]' was so tired that I could hardly get out A Kod. I got very chin and pale ; and no *yonder, for n>y appetite was gone altogether. I could eat nothing scarcely. I turned against my meals, and was forced *.o live almost entirely on invalids'' foods, and 1 got so enfeebled my digestive organs could not iligest 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 Sinking Feeling: &s though everything was going to give way undei:- me. Miserable headaches were my daily companions." " You were to be much pitied, Mw. Taylor." 1 ' • Deppondency seized me,'-' continued lady. . " The gloomiest thoughts of the future were always with me; nothing could interest one, and nothing could arouse n.c 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 iaid 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 gpt 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 at that unhappy time now, and never talk about it if I can help it. Enough for me to say ihat 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 forgot being first pressed to take that remedy. I Tully believed that my nervous affection could not ba^cured by any medicine. But What a mistake I had been making all this time. I took Clements Tonic for three or ltour days and a sudden change for the better came over me. My nerves were 'much more restful, and I got long stretches of Bound sleep. I began to awake out of. i;he 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, arfd got and otouter every day. "When I Went to see my late husband's friends they /Rrere astonished. ' Why, whatever good/ thing have you been taking,' they asked? Smiling, I told them I had taken nothing * but Clements Tonic, and to that remedy, and that alone, I owe my complete return to health. Well, by keeping on with Clements I soon pulled myself quite round. I Telt it building me up with every # dose, and shortly I was able to do without it altogether, being as healthy and cheerful as X could wish to be. " " I may put this in the Standard V " Yes; I owe so much to Clements Tonic that it is at the same time a pleasure as a to comply with your request." STATUTORY DECLARATION.
