The Case of ,VIRS. CLA.RA CARTER(Frcm Uie "Penriik Times," N.S.W.) (BY OUR SPECIAL KEPOHTEIt. ) "My case," said Mrs. Carter, of Com-mercial-street, Penrith, to our reporter, who was questioning her as to her illness, " was one of simple weakness, a sort of gradual decline, but it was a very serious tl\ing all the same, ar.d I firmly believe that if I had not been fortunate enough to obtain a remedy which Avas able to supply what Avas deficient in my blood, I should have wasted ftnd Washed Away Till I Died. {This wast>ng disease (if you can call that a disease) which shoAVod no violent symptom, or gave no direct acute pain, stole upon me all unaAVares. If I had any pain it was only as a result of my AA'eakncss. My blood Avas so poor that my face went the h. Colour o1?o 1 ? Yellow? Soap — very waxy looking— and my lips, the inside of my eyelids, and my gums AA-ere a peculiar white. I suffered very greatly from loss of Bleep. Strange as it may appear, I AA-as too weak and weary to even sleep. When I got out of bed in the morning 1 could hardly lift my arms, and in a feAV minutes 1 should bo quite tired out. My appetite was as weak and faded as myself. No delicacies induced a desire to eat, and my food Avas not able to strengthen me. It didn't digest property. I was not strong enough to digest it, and from this cause alon<s"l suffered keen distress. I greAv weaker, more pale and Avan, as regularly as tho hands of the clock went round. Little by little I Gave up my Work. First, I had to cease washing the clothes, and then came a time when I couldn't even wash the tea things, and in the end I Avas not able to do anything at all. It took my whole strength to git up straight in my chair." " You must have been feeble ?" '*• I got still more feeble, and my nerves partook in the General Dotoiltty of my Syslcs'n.. I^was not able to 3tand anything. Kb noises of any kind. I should scream out with the shock if any unusual sound struck my ears. I had silly \ nervous terrors of all sorts of things, and as my illness clung close to me a heavy despondency settled upon me. I began to look upon myself a.3 a. hopeless invalid. I waa too low-spirit ecl to take a hopeful vieAV of anything. No woman, I don't care wlio she be, could have felt more wretched than I did." "But the chemists and doctors. Could they do nothing for you ?" " No, indeed, they couldn't. Chemists I tried without number, but "they a\ ere all failures ; and lots of medicines and pills were brought to me to try, but none of these preparations improA'ed my condition any, or put an ounce of flesh upon my bones. Two doctors also prescribed for me, and attended me for long enough. I gaA'c up the one for the other, but neither of them could do me any good, nor did I find their medicines of any more service than the drugs I obtained from tho chemists." ' ' Well, lioav did you go on ?" «p©j»-32 months I hadn't focera able to work, tout at Sast 1 got into that state that .8 couldn't even wsdk. .. LISTED S When you want a blanket blanket.
