Splitting Sick Headaches.

MORNING TILL NIGHT.

Another Record Recovery.

and the frightful palpitation continued so long that I often thought it could only end in death. My feeble appetite at length flickered away altogether. I could not touch a morsel of food, no matter how temptingly prepared. An unnatural thirst made a cup of weak tea, or a drop of milk, the only refreshment 1 wanted, but even these proved uncomfortable when 1 swal lowed them.”

Th« Case of Mrs. C. TIMMINCB.

(BY A WELLINGTON REPORTER.) A representative was received with much courtesy on visiting the home of Mrs. Catherine Timmings, of Charlotte Avenue, Wellington. "I wish to obtain from you tho whole history of the matter concerning yourself, which is engaging so much public attention,” said the reporter. “You refer, of course, to my five long years of suffering. If I abstained from giving tho public the benefit of my experience I would be afraid of such an ungrateful action recoiling upon me in some serious way. You are welcome to every detail in connection with my illness. lam sure that my wretched state of debility was brought about, in the first place, by the great physical strain of rearing a large family ; my experience beinC that mothers of a lot of children are particularly susceptible to being laid up very easily. You see, wo have not the vitality in our iyateins to fight against the many inaladit* ihat are continually going about, unle.sn W>* fortify ourselves by occasionally taking agJod medicine, which most people experiefc.ee great difficulty in finding. It is to assist, others in doing so that I so freely give an outline of my case to be placed at the disposal of the community at large.”

“ What a sorry plight to he in !” “ Yes it was. And yet I got worse than this, which is net unlikely, considering that I was suffering so long. My disease played hav< c with my nervous system. It required but little—sometimes nothing at all-to set my nerves in violent motion, and as I lay on my bed I felt myself twitching convulsively. Whenever I was in darkness I had a dread that some evil person was in close proximity, but 1 dare not get up to strike a match and look. I tried a lot of medicines which claimed to be effective in cases like, mine, but not one of them was worth the paper they were wrapped in. They did not even succeed in restoring regularity to my bowels, neither did they free me from the (lizzii.css and faintness which were my daily torments. My face was deathly pale, and there was nothing left of me but skin and

“ Don’t you think you should have taken to your bed ? ” 44 .So 1 did, as a matter of compulsion. I could not keep up any longer. My disease got mo down propci ly. Besides, I had several doctors attending me, ami yet they could not cure me. Heaven only know s how much of their worthless medicines I drank, hut 1 do know that my stomach became so frightfully weak that I could not dtink any more of their stuff. There seemed nothing for me hut to drag on a miserable existence till the last spark of life was taken out of me by my disease.” 44 You look as though you never had an ailment in your life.” 44 That is how I feel, I am glad to say. The wonderful transformation was accomplished through nothing ehe but Clements Tonic, which u lady friend recommended me to take. It appears that she happened to hear what complaint it was that was gradually killing me, so she kindly came to tell me how she was one time nearly dead, ami that Clements Tonic brought her to fife again. The feeling of despair which had been hanging over me so long gave place to a gh am of hope, aiid by tlie time my first bottle of Clements Tonic was empty, I felt that I was saved from n premature grave. Clements Tonic struck right at the root of my disease—an evidence of which fact was shown by the gratifying decrease of the pains in my chest and stomach, and the twitching of my nerves soon ceased entirely. The acute shafts of agony disappeared from my back ; my headaches also becoming tortures of the past. My family and friends w ere astonished and delighted at the way I was pulling round. Indeed, I could hardly realise that I was the same woman who, a few weeks back, had lost all interest in life. I ate heartily and slept well, and my face soon had a healthy colour. Thcold feelings of listlessncss and despondency were driven away. 1 did not neglect one dose of Clements Tonic till I was made perfectly sound and strong by it. Not one symptom of my complaint las returned, so I can safely say that Clements Tonic effected a permanent cure. My children have also been built up by Clements Tonic. Pleaae publish my case in any way you think best.”

14 Did you Buffer from any definite disease, Mrs. Timmings?” “It was sufficiently definite to nearly kill mo, I can faithfully say. My livor was in a dreadful state of disorder. So bad, indeed, that I felt sure it was almost eaten away by disease. 1 was in such an alarmingly delicate state of health that I could scarcely move from one room to another without catching a severe cold, and when my children were very young, 1 often had to get up from my warm bed to attend to them. Many a violent cold have 1 contracted through walking about the room at night with my babies, and my lungs eventually became badly affected. I had a dry, hacking cough, which was very distressing and irritating, and my mouth and throat were very sore.” “ What symptoms of liver complaint did you have ? ” “ 1 became very deaf, although my hearing was previously very sharp. I’eoplc had to repeat things in a loud voice two or three times before I could understand what they were saying. My tongue was thickly coated with a yellowish moisture, and my niou'h had a hitter taste in it all day long. I felt lazy and languid, without enough *go ’ in me to straighten up the house. It is a bad state to get into to have woik staring you in the face and yet unable to do it. That is precisely how I was situated. The only thing that I could do was to lie down, and not bather about anything. 1 felt too weak to think even, although I was troubled very frequently with strange imaginations about something dreadful going to happen.” “ Were you suffering any pain ? ” “I had splitting sick headaches from morning till night, and sharp, twitching pains behind the shoulders never ceased tormenting me. These pains got worse and worse every day, an addition to them appearing below my ribs. I could not lie on my side in consequence of the extreme agony I was in, ami many a night 1 have been obliged to sit up in bed for hours. But this did not matter very much in one way, as I could not sleep in any position. The whole of the night I used to lio awake, although I was thoroughly fatigued and exhausted when 1 went to bed. In the I mornings my eyes were dim and swollen, especially after severe vomiting fits, which generally came on as soon as I put my weary, aching limbs on the move. Some mornings I was able to take a little breakfast, which usually consisted of a small piece of toast and a cup of tea ; but the awful feeling of heaviness and oppression in my chest after nuch a moderate repast can hardly be described. My chest felt as if it wero w igl ed down by a box of lead after eating, and my stomach was besieged with terribly exasperating pains. Then a little while after 1 fe.t myself getting full of wind, spasms of which sometimes made me shriek. On numerous occasions I distinctly heard my heart hammering away against my ribs,
