DYSPEPSIA, PALPITATION, CUBE, The Case of Mrs. T. L. SIMMONS {By a Dunedin Reporter). Calling one day at No. 135 Cumber-land-street, Dunedin, our reporter saw Mrs. Teresa Loral Simmons, who, in answer to a question, said: “ I have gone through a remarkable experience of suffering in my days, apd if I tell you how it was all promptly brought to a close, I am sure the information will be of great, value to others. I used to be one of those fraii creatures who are for ever ailing,.JThe memories of my younger days are connected with periodical attacks of sickness, each illness assisting to crush the vitality out of my system till I became so weak and wretched at last that I had to lie up. For months before this happened I felt languid and disinclined to Work. The lightest portions of housework had an enervating effect upon me, even to dust the furniture making me feel as tired as if I had been doing a hard day’s washing. It was too much trouble for me to eat, because I had very little desire for food, which, when I did take any, made me feel frightfully uncomfortable in the stomach, where it remained in an undigested, hard lump. I used "to . swell out terribly with wind, besides suffering much pain from spasms which set my heart all of a flutter. Palpitation used to «ome on regularly after eating, but more especially at night, when lying in bed, and I was afraid to move for fear of making it worse, or, more terrifying still, cease beating for ever. My chest felt stuffed up, thus making it hard for me to breathe, and there was a terrible pain in my right side and in the upper part of my back.” “ Did you get any better after resting?” “ Not a bit. I got worse, for the absence of plenty of fresh air and want of exercise did away with my appetite altogether. However nice the food might be, the sight of it turned me sick. As the fumes of cooking reached my nostrils I almost heaved my heart up. f VIy complexion was also very bad. You oul cl have thought I had some Orionftl blood in my reins if you had seen y face then, and my eyes were awfully ead-looking. When I was just about s weak as a woman could be, I was fflicted with another complaint. My erves went wrong. I used to lie and shake like one with St. Vitus’ dance, and if I happened to be left alone in the house I felt very timid and nervous. If a knock came I was too frightened to go to the door. My life was one perpetual round of agonies and anxieties. I was horribly depressed in spirits, as if nothing could possibly cheer me. A peculiar singing noise ran through my ears, producing a very distressing effect, and my mouth, well, the bitter taste in it was something dreadful. The bones were neary poking through my skin, I was so thin. Following the wreck of my nervous system came violent attacks of neuralgia. The pains which started in the side of my face and shot up to the roof of my head sent mo nearly mad. Those torture? lasted two or three days without ceasing. 1 was unable to go myself, so my husband brought in a doctor, who said I had no constitution at all. ‘ Your jiealth is completely broken down,’ he aid, and so it was, for I was in bed hree months a helpless invalid.” “ Was the doctor in constant attend.nce?” “No less than three doctors attended me, each prescribing different medicines, alt of which were impotent and worthess. I was thus without a shred of hope to cling to, and I dread to think of what would have happened if I had not been recommended by a chemist to lake Clements Tonic, which quickly cured my neuralgia and gave me an Sweet, undisturbed sleep came, and gave me the rest I needed, nervousness left me, and strength returned. Flesh grew over my frame, a healthy colour appeared in my cheeks, and not a trace of indigestion or de- |: lity remained. I was saved by Clelents Tonic, so you may publish these tatements any way you think best.”
