For fully twenty minutes the two men struggled in the water, with the poisonous choomical.a bubbling and fizzing or aid them. Both swallowed • quantity of the,poistmons liquid, and although prevented front drowning. the would-be suicide died a few weeks after.

After the ereond viiiI had to go bock to my home very had indeed. I was so weak that when I attempted to walk I went blind, nod had to cling to anything near me to prevent me from falling. I had fearfol nightsweat., sad would often bes seix.si with a kind of cramp, shiell scorned to be in my bone.. I could not retain food or nomishment. except in minute • eprotatities--just enough to keep me alive." "1 next went into Brompton lippital, but again I derived no benefit. For two years I rentained in the police force. suffering in this way, and during the twc years I was only able to pot in three • months' duty! Meeing that I was practically done for, in January. 1899, I was given a spicial pension, and retired from the force.  continural to get worre. Irrpite all effort.. No matter how tempting and light the food which wail prepared. I vomited al: 1 to, k. and the very right of food made me sick ! I become reduced in weight from over 1.3 stone to Jun over 10 sr ne. and I W 32. as weak or a kitten. The vomiting. t‘le pain across the stoinaoli tad in the ba.k, the night .weeto and the cramping F entntrol.n continued unabated until September in last ).ear.  "In that month I was recommend:A to try rme of Chas. Fortes Bile Beato. few dosos made me feel a bit stronger. so I went in for a course, in order to give them a fair trial. By the time I had taken a few hones I was a different Md. The vomiting had stepped. an:l the dull, aching pain at the pit of the stomach had gone. Every slay got dronger and stronger. tie cramp and the night sweats stopped. the specks and lashes before my eyes disappeared. I became able to walk withrot needing support, and at night I enjoyed sound. refreshing sleep. "To cut a long story short. I am now quite cured. The effects of the poi:on have bon driven out of my system by the Beans, and my stomach sod digestive organs seem to have been reomde. I have eaten so well that I have gained twentyone pounds in weight, and am still adding to it.
