The Case of Mrs. Sarah Hall.

(From iho " Windsor Gazette.") (BY OUR SI'KCUI. RV.roUTI'.R.)

A ki;phksentativk of this paper called on Mr*. Hall, who Uvcr next the railway line at Richmond, N.S.W. " You have been ill, I believe," said the roportcr l " Yes, replied Mrs. Hall, but I imii plosci to say lam better now. Tbe s: ait of my sickness was obstinate con&lipatiuu, which for a long time

Defiod Every Medicine I tried. Owing to the weakening effect of purgative medicines I was obliged to discard them, and, anyhow, they wcie of no lt-al mo for I found they only tended to coil; firm the coimipation instead of cming it. [Notk. — Mrs. Hall it quite correct in houpmiiin hen The. ii.se vf pmyimj pills mily aggrav 'to complaint* of the digtitioc tract.

Every now ami again 1 was UUen with

A Bilious Turn. Food of any kind was then distasteful to me, and I piomptly vomited what I did man •;,'(! to oat." " Did you have any distinct pains 1 " " Yes, sharp pains under my shoulders ami lower down the back now always troubled me. Ono

Continual Dull, Heavy Ache always oppressed me. The whole of Che iluy I wns (lead tired. If there was anything out of tho way that I wanto.l tn do it would lake me about » quarter of an hour to m.iltc up my mind lo tackle it ; mid if I worked for a few minutes I had tos.it down fm-nu Ii- ur's rest aftcnv.mW My ippuiite grow woiso anil worso till I didn't think it worth whilu to cook. Nothing could tempt me, un-l I would ns soon eat a small piece of ilry biu.nl ns the most dainty dish. Kven a hit of In cad would give me a pain in The Chest and Stomach, nnd sotnetimes when I uto a little somothing which I fancied would bo nioi ( e nourishing, I should liavo tin- most agonising pain for three hours nftei wards. Wiinly spasms came on, and these gave mo greater pain than I over thought possible for a human being to sufl'er. I swelled out terribly, and as this distension wont on my stomach would press on my lungs ami hcait, causing intense agony and a feeling as though I was About to Suffocate. Once or twice the pain and distension were so awful that I thought I was not going to get over it." " Did you havo a doctor ? " " Oh yes, I did, and he said my liver was diseased, but his medicine did but, little good, and that only tcmpoiary. I teallj beliovo I might ns >voll have drunk so much water. Nothing did mo any good, and the medicines I got from tho chemists wore of no earthly use. lam a EtrOnc woman, -but my health and strength gradually broso down. A bad nervous collapse was the next result of my long-contimiud illneSß." - «' How did this shew itself T

"I couldn't sleep at nights. I couldn'l keep my head still on tho pillow. It

Twitched Backwards and Forwards.

I turned round in bed often enough, bin ■wherever 1 put my head it was just the , snme— jumping ami twitching us though 1 had SI. Vims' dance. All night, long I «.is like this till I wan duad worn out, when I should fall asleep, but my he.id still kept on tw killing while iisle'-p. My nerves got intensely sensitive. The trains which pftb3 elosts to my house eve-y day used to worry mo, although E w.ia thoroughly accustomed to tlicir noise. I didn't care to visit my f i ienda, anil never went into town unless I \vasaliv>lutoly compel! oil. Nuthingiiitcrcbtcil me, and I began to look on the dark Mile of ovorything. I beeamo very melancholy, ytninpo I ms for the future beset me contiuuallv, and I was always frightened sometliiiiK dreadful was ab nit to happen." "Did you look ill?" "I looked very bad indeed. Ask tho neighboms. My bkin began to look a dirty ynjfow colour. My eyes achod and felt he.wy, and you would find me supporting my nulling bcnil with my hands, ami wishing the day was over, and when night cunic, as I explained, I could get no icbt. When 1 think uf What a Miserable Time I had Uion I hardly know how I lived through it When a poor woman feels that tin- doetots can do nothing for her, and every day she is getting weaker and ' Nearer her Grave, you can readily understand what a hopeless stato blio falls into, and how eagerly she clings 10 the wcakrst hopo. 1 was like this when 1 had a gleam of hope." " Yes, Mrs. ILill, what was it?" "Well, I started trying a now medicine, which / found totally unlike all tho others that I had been taking. It was Clements Tonic— it did mo A World of Good. You've no idea the chaugo it made in me in a woek or two's time. I threw off tho melancholy, and positively began to feel hungry. (Jiadimlly my whole system underwent a gic.it chango for the better. My m'rvus g«t ns stonily as a rock. I could feel that the blood in my veins was once more uhculii' ing briskly, and instead of being ns heavy and down-hearted that life wus not worth living, I felt lively and could go about my woi k As Happy as the Day was long ; and that's just tho difference a hcdlthy or a diseased liver makes to a life, Clement* Tonic also cured my constipation, and all the other minor symptoms went away, loo." " Mny I publish what you'vo said ? •' Ye 3. I feel so grateful for the very successful cure which Clements Tonic has cfleclcd for mo that I should liko everyone to hear of it."
