Another Case of General Debility AND Nervous Prostration Radically Cured.

The Case of ftlrs. BMRY TAYLOR.

(From the "Leichhtrdt Standard") (by our special reporter.) Mrs. Taylor carries on a prosperous business as a general-storekeeper in Cecilystreet, Lilyfield, Leichhardt, near Sydney, where she also 'resides. Ifc was at thia address that a Standard reporter inter--viewed that lady the other day and obtained a fiiil 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^asudden and fatal aecideafc which happened to her first husband. - "It was I A Terrible . Shock . to. mo," explained the lady to the newspaper man, "and I. thought at the time I should never, get over i(-.. . The shock left -me so ner-vous~t;hat"l-stai-ted -trembling ancl' shaking on the least provocation. Going to bed -was a -mere/farce, fo-r I never- got^ any true sleep. Certainly, I should occasionally dose offfqri.av\vliile, b;it what, good was thab.?.-ai)'d in the morning], was so tireel thafc T "could hardly get out ii Hcd. I got very "'thin and pale ; and no wonder, for wy < appetite was gone altogether. I could eat " nothing scarcely. — I turned against my "meals, and was forced to live almost;" entirely -on invalids' foods, and I got so enfeebled my digestive orgaus could not digest even tliis light nutriment. A pain in v the chest was always present after eating, in addition to dull, aching" pains, .between the shoulders, ancl all the food I ate tasted : ; . bitter to me. Sometimes, too, I would have A Dreadful Sinking Feeiing as though everything was going to give way under me. Miserable headaches were my daily companions.'" 1 ' ' ' ' You were to be much pitied, M^'S Taylor." '•Despondency seized >me," continued that lady. " The gloomiest thoughts of the futui'e were always'with me; 'nothing could interest me, and- nothing could aroiise me 1 / from the -hopeless state infaj 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. Mj - friends said to me in a low, startled tone of , voice, • 1 Why, You Look Awf«!, f * 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 eared whether I _got bettor or not. I ~ was a. shattered wreck of what I used to be — just a worn-out frame iv which the vitality was fast failing. I never look back at that unhappy time now, and never talk about' it if I can Kelp it. Enough for me to sa; that I was helpless for, over two months." " You were lucky' to get over i,t? " "Yes. I was. It was all -through Clements Tonic, and 1 shall never forget being first pressed to take that remedy. I fully believed that my nervous affection coxild not be Gured by any .medicine. But what a mistake I had been making all this time. I took Clements Tonic- for three or ioxiv days 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 line. I could take an interest in my business affairs, and everything looked to be ba tilled 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. YVhon 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 taken nothing but Clements Tonic, and to that remedy, ancl that alone, 1 owe my complete return to 'lealth. Well, by keeping on with Clements Tonicl soon pulled myself -quite -round. 1 felt it building me up ■■.vith every dose, ancl shortly I was able to do without it altogether, being as healthy and cheerful a» 1 could -wisli to be." " I may put this in the Standard J" " Yes; I owe so much to Clements Tonia that it is at the same time a pleasure as a duty to comply with your request." STATUTORY DEOLA.RATtOJT.
