A Debilitated Nervous System.

RESTORED TO ITS NATURAL VIGOR.

THE CASE OF Mrs. William Hanchett. 'f'nimfAr Windsor, N.S.W., “Australian.") (BY OUR SPECIAL REPORTER.) “If a one knows how I’ve suffered,” sail Mrs. Hauchett, of Macquarie Street, Windsor, New South Wales, to a reporter from the Windsor and Richmond Gazette, who w aited upon her with a view to obtaining an account of her ailment and her recovery. * From ul aldld you suffer, Mrs. Hanchel 11 ” “ From Ellnodlessness and Nervousness ; also from awful nervous headaches. First, my appetite began to go, till I didn’t care if 1 never saw food. Then the headaches came on, generally twice a day, and lasting an hour or more at a time. Whilst they lasted the pain'can only be described as agonising. My head was fairly racked with it The pain was of a piercing, shooting charaeter, and flew back wards and forwards all round my head like sharp Knives in My Brain. As the days went on I wasted away. I did not seem to have sufficient blood to keep ine going, and, although I tried all sorts of nourishing foods, they did me no good. My face became pale and waxy, and my lips were as white as my face. The whole of ths day I Felt Languid and Tired. My household duti.s, which I formerly did in the course of an hour or so, now proved too much for me. Why, if I only tried to wash up the tea things I should have to give it up and sit. down. My nights were al .'ays restless, and it’s nothing but the plain truth when 1 tell you I didn’t get ten minutes’ sleep from the time I went to bed till I got up in the morning. It wasn’t long before my Nervous System Broke Down under the strain that was put on it through the want of sleep. I was so nervous that I positively daren’t go to bed at all without a light burning. If I dropped a knife I r reamed out loud. Little things like this gave such a shock to my nerves. I was frightened to go out at nights, even with someone with me. This may not seem remarkable to you, but when I tell you that before I was ill I could go anywhere across the bush in the blackest night without the least hesitation yon will understand what a change my illness Wrought in Me.” “Your nervous system must have been very weak.” “It was, indeed. My nerves were all unstrung. If anyone spoke to me unexpectedly I trembled like a leaf. I wouldn’t answer the door unless I was absolutely obliged. I didn’t care to see strangers at all, but felt I should like to be away from everyone.” “ Did you keep up your spirits under all these afflictions “No; I don’t believe anyone coull. I became very low spirited. Things which formerly gave me pleasure did not now interest me. When neighbours or friends came in to have a chat to try and liven me up a bit, I should merely say yes and no ; and, to tell you the truth, although I appreciated their goodwill and kindness, I was always Pleased to See Them Go.” “ Did you take any medicine for your complaint! ” “ Oh, yes ! I took many different things till I really got tired of taking physic. Some of the medicines and pills I took were advertised to cure complaints such as mine in two or three weeks.”
