A STATE OF NERVOUS AGITATION. A RATIONAL REMEDY BRINGS RAPID RELIEF.

The Case of Mrs. i. ANDERSON. (By a Dutuuiin Reporter.) Many of the wonderful inventions perfected during the present century owe their originality of conception to men who lived in past decades. The improvements oi! o d-fashioncu it e.,s m respect to m«wiuncry have effected great changes throughout the world, but the present and iorthcoming generations profit by the progress made. An interesting study is found in noticing the gradual development of most scientific matters, and the reader will find his attention ab orbed in tracing the following comp lation of events, emanating, as hey do, from what is frequently considered a »trifling and unimportant origin, and ending in a climax of considerable magnitude. The narrative appears in the words of Mrs. Jeannie Ander on, of 14 Smith-street, Dunedin. "In my earlier days," began Mrs. Anderson, " I was troubled very much ■nth indigestion. Like most persons iddicted to this complaint, I thought it ■vas only a trivial disorder of a tem(Orary nature, and that it would go iway on its own account. The symptoms vere certainly very annoying, but for ome time they were not sufficiently >erious to call for medical aid. That was ny opinion then, as I only had a feeling if discomfort after food, but after a vhile the pain gradually increased until t became a severe wearing or burning onsation. I iken commenced to think okat I was in for a b?d spoil of sickness. Severe pains in the back started to torinont me shortly after taking 1113- meals, iv'liicb were now indulged in in a very ie'icate fashion. I was very careful vhat I ate, and took but little, as I had only -a meagre nppeti'e. If 1 took * cup of warm miik I suitcred as much ts though I had eaten a pound of steak, ho pain and uneasiness at the pit of he stomach being just as great. My ? was deathly white, with dark lines dcr my eyes, the sight of which was ..nat.y impaired. Sometimes the pulation at the wrist was so feeb'e that scarcely a throb could be fc.'t. A sense jf great oppression was present 111 my •best, a matter which affected my jreathing. I was alwa3 r s sleepy and vorn out. As soon as I got up m the uoraing I felt inclined to go back to bed gain, and for all the good I was I night just as well, for I was only in -ther people's way. Constipation be•amc a chronic complaint, and 1 became 0 weak at last that I could not sweep he floor." " Ic is a wonder you did not lie up, irs. Anderson." "So I did, and shortly afterwards I vas seized with agonising pains in the bowels, attended with great prostration if strength. I could not raise myself up in bed without becoming faint and ijiddy. » These symptoms were quickly followed by the extension of pain of a more violent character than ever over fhfc stomach, then came a miserable feeling of nau c ea. My skin became cold •»nd clammy, and my features were hor- - b'.y shrunken. For days t did not eat, neither could I get out of, ed. On one occasion I managed to v>?t my feet on the floor, intending to stand up and try •o walk, but I quickly fell and was doubled up in agony for some time before anybody came to my assistance. Whatever food I succeeded in swallowing was promptly thrown up again. If f took but a tablespoonful of milk, or a imall waf r biscuit, I vomited them at nice, and brought up, besides, i. n .rs;e mantities/of what the doctor called digestive bipod.' There was not a particle of food wbiek passed my lips but what, it came up again, and always accompanied wi'h volumes of blood. This incessant. »biood-vomiting induced a burning, swollen feeling in the eyes, combined with blinding headaches. If I tried to s'.oop, my head became dizzy everything in the room appearing to swim round and 'ound, and to make letters wws* my nights were more " tless than ever. The trying ordeal I through every day made me feel »n the world, but in spite of my
