Three Years Intense Suffering.

Tho Cftße of Mr. H. M. KEYEY.

(By a Special Reporter .)

ATI government, indeed every human benefit and enjoyment, every virtue and every prudent act, is founded on compromise and barter. To promote our personal welfare we balance inconveniences, preferring to give and take in order to attain our ends. We remit some • rights so that we Jpay enjoy others, and we olnAise rather to be happy independent citizens than servile tenant*. Great eacrificee are made by workers who aspire to become their own landlords for the; advantages to be derived from the attaimpent of their aspirations. “My illness f* said Mr. Henry Horan Kevey, of Garfield-street, Parnell, Auckland,“ was brought on through working night and day at my sedentary trade of bootmaking. The object I had in view was to purchase a home for my wife and family; but I stuck to my task go closely than it caused me three years’ intense suffering. It is eight years age since ■my constitution wa* completely broken down.” “You look strong and rigorous noi r,” said the reporter. ... " ■ “And I reel as well as I look. But there was a time when 1 thought I was going into consumption. My face was a aektnly cdlottr, and'my eyes were sunk deeply into my head. You would not have given twopence for my life if you had seen me then.

Then my digestive organs went wrong as shown by .the tightness in my chesafter r esting, and • also great pain am discomfort in my stomach, which felt as though I 4ad swallowed some foreign matter wfiKn was turning sour and pn trid. Indeed, my breach bore out tin theory, as it was most objectionable and my mouth had a very bad- tastr continually, widen made me feel sick Sharp pains used to dart under my shoulders and down to the end of my ribs, and in a short while I was unable to retain a meal. on my stomach. As soon as I ate anything I was seized with violent fits of vomiting, and the pain and distress’ I suffered was beyond description, I felt tired and miserable, being without enough energy Jt;o sit down and read a book. As a matter of fact, my eyesight wa' too bad, and my eyes seemed to have little spots dancing before them, besides being hot and swollen.” “How did you manage to kesp or working liy that condition ?” “1 could not do a stroke of work at ia't and I had to knock off altogether. 1 felt heavy and drowsy, and suffered greatly from splitting headaches.

It felt too thick for my mouth, and almost choked me. mt brain was fall of evil-forebodings as I lay throughout the sleepless nights in a state of nervous terror.
