The Case of Mr, William Thomas Rose {Front the “Nepean ( Penrith , N.S. W.) Times”) (B 7 OUR SPECIAL REPORTER.) A report having reached this office to the effect that Mr. W. T. Rose, of High-street, Penrith, had some time since established himself in firm health by the opportune use of a certain remedy after suffering fora long time from a stubborn and dangerous illness, our reporter called at Mr. Rose’s house, and ashed him what ailed him some time back. “Well,"replied that gentleman, “Iwas afflicted with A Terrible Nervous Complaint It came upon me when I was weakened, and my constitution shattered by a long continued internal complaint. I caught cold when out on an all-night fishing excursion, and on returning home was seized with griping cramps at the bottom of the stomach. While it lasted the pain was simply excruciating, I was bent double with pain, with my two hands pressed upon my stomach. I changed to a deadly colour, and couldn’t utter a word. It felt as though my bowels were tied tn knots. Gradually the "cramps subsided, and left me free for two or three days. Then the spasms came on again. The torment was worse than before. Once more I slowly recovered, but only to be seized again and again with these racking spasms. Often in the height of the anguish I positively thought I should be snuffed out. ‘One minute more of this agony,’ I said to myself, ‘ and I shall be a dead man.’ I slowly got weaker and weaker. Every seizure left me worse.” “ Did you get no advice ? ” Mr. Rose laughed at the question. “ I should think I did,” he replied. “ I tried everything, but nothing I used at that time could ward off the cramps, or even give me relief.” • “I suppose you had other symptoms •“•yes, my one-time splendid appetite deserted me, and whatever I did eat gave mo a Painful Feeline of Oppression right here (Mr. Rose placed his hand on the lower portion of’his chest r to indicate the spot). Wearisome headaches troubled me, and a sharp, twinging pain between the shoulders frequently made, itself felt. In the morning I found my tongue thickly coated with a disagreeable substance. My breath was foul, and after every attempt to eat, wind would generate in my stomach. . “ Your liver was affeoted, perhaps ? ” • “Yes, very badly; but I hardly know what portion of my body was not afflicted. Then my nerves began to go. That was the last straw. 1 had battled as cheerfully as possible aga.nst my disease, but now this new infliction made me & Downhearted Beyond Expression, Vhon I stood up I was so giddy and shaky hat I had to take hold of something to beady myself. I was frightened to walk cross the road. All night long I lay in bed 11 of a shake, and twitching frightfully. All orts of Foolish and Unwarrantable e, Terrors .•ould crowd into my mind. I had to sit up a bed, I really dare not lie down. My .eapondency increased day by day. I an’t describe the awful nervousness that /as upon me, I went into a shaking fit hrougn nothing at all. The blessing of leep was denied me. My nights were one ong misery, and I dreaded the approach of icd time. Sometimes I was unable to get mt of bed, and at other times I sat up >rooding over my misfortunes, trying to magine what it would be like to be well md strong once more.” “ I suppose you had the attention of a loctor?” “Yes, I had as many as five different lootors, but hone of them could cure me. tome slight temporary relief was all that [ ever obtained from their medicines, and [ was soon as bad as ever again, if not vorse. I also obtained all sorts of physic :rom the chemists, and my wife bought me uany medicines which were warranted to jure mo straight off.” • “ But they didn v t do it V ’ . ® They were all rubbish,” said Mr. Rose, smphatically just new-fangled * catchpennies; but you know how a sick, man dings,to the weakest hope.”
