A Case of Great Nervous Weakness. The Case of Mrs. I. LLOYD. (B$ a Special; Reporter.) A special writer recently had an interestiag, conversation with. Mrs. Isabella Lloyd, ef No. 283, Madras-street, Christchurch, te whom we are indebted for the following information: “My system was so thoroughly run down seme time ago that my nerves were quite unstrung,” said Mrs. Llayd. “This nervous disease must hare boon eating away at me for some time in an insidious manner, otherwise it would not have appeared with such violence when it did snow itself.” “ In what way were you troubled with nervousness?” asked the reporter. “Well, I was agitated and startled at the slightest noise. Even if it happened to be a familiar sound, such as the striking of a -clock, or the barking of a dog, I trembled and quivered in. every muscle. When a knoek came to the door, it was with a great amount of fear and trepidation that it. I was in a state of continual fear that something dreadful was going, to happen. Whenever I was’ left in the house by myself I used to sit in, a corner, afraid t» move. I have often and often sat thus watching the door for hours at a time, till it aeerabd to dazzle before my eyes, and I frequently fancied it was being opened by some unwelcome I eould [sot help thinking'.that somebody was lyftgj/ifT wait behind the door, hened.i&y reason for looking at it so intently These hideous thoughts made me shudder from head to foot, and I have often been so terrorised and horror-stricken from sheer nervousness- that I could not move.” ' “I suppose you were.glad when bedtime came?” “ Not a bit of it. for I could scarcely . ever get to sleep. Even if I, did happen to fall asleep, it was no rest for me, as my slumber was disturbed By the most horrible dreams, which caused me to wake up suddenly in a i state of great alarm. I was fretful and easily upset, besides being irritable without ally cause. > A source of considerable tbrtiirc attacked me in the form of racking,, nervous headaches, which never gtfVe me a moment’s peace. Some days I could eat a little food, whilst at other times I could not bear the sight of it. At any rate it did not matter much whether I ate or not, as my; food did not do me any good. I fell off in flesh, and my condition gradually 4 changed from bad t» worse. When I arose from bed in the mornings I had hardy o'Uugh strength te statid, and I used to think of the work in frent of me with a feeling of loathing. As my suf f ©rings showed no signs of abatement, a tenable depression of spirits cam© over me. -There was not the slightest comfort in 'life, and I do not think there is anybody in this world who would care to linger’ on under such trying vicissitudes. .Death would be preferable, believe me. Whilst my illness was upon mo I carried a heavy load of men'al and physical torture. Hal it-con tin nod mu'ea longer x dread to tV"k wh it r.viy have happened. Luckily, howouv, I found that I was not yet doomrA ' My sister-in-law hearing of my ri crob'e condition, strong!v recommend'd mo to try the same medicine which h d cured her of nervousness. She said she was positive it would pull me through, although I was much worse than she was. I was dub'ovs, but alter events showed that I was put on the right track.” “What, were you advised to. take?” ;" “'Clements, Toirc. and I consider it the be t medicine ever made, as it put now life into ’"o..Clements Tonic sootb--cd ray nerves,-and cleared away the depressing headaches. ' Shortly ;my appetite returned, and I could eat without experiencing . .pain, .. besides sleeping peacefully at .night. The nervous terrors terminated through the wonderful influence of Clements Tonic, and my complaints soon ceased to trouble me. I would be very ungrateful if I did not give public testimony to the medicine which restored my health and happiness, both of which wore conveyed to me by Clements Tonic.
