IS NO HOME EXEMPT? ATTACK ON A TAMWORTH LADY. HOW IT OCCURRED—HER DESCRIPTION OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES, AXD THE OVERWHELM ING TESTIMONY OF PROMINENT WIT NESSES. Mis Mathsson's statement of this ferocious attack is so extraordinary that some readers might think it incredible, or that she was deceived by appearances, but her lamentable condition was admitted by her local doctor, and corroborated by the physician in charge at the Electric Baths in Sydney, and her sufferings were witnessed by all of her immediate friends and neighbors. Conse- j quently it is not to be wondered at that our j interviewer left her thoroughly convinced of j the truth of her statements, which should be placed before the public. Id fact, what she suffered and endured—her narrow escape from death—is the talk of the town, and her home has been beseiged by Mends offering congratulations. Her own statement, m»de July 16, 1894 :—' It is now five years since 1 I had occasion to. use any kind of medicine, ] havipg been cured at that time of a very long and severe illness by taking Warner's Safe Remedies. The complaint I suffered from was muscular rheumatism ; my neck, ( arms, leg?, and back were much swollen and stiff. I could not turn my head or lift, my arms, neither cculd I move myself into a sitting posbure. The kidneys were also in a very bad state, the pains in the back most excruciating, appetite feeble, and my con dition altogether helpless. My friends did not expect that I could possibly live. I had spent my pounds in advice and prescriptions, all to no benefit, and also underwent a month's treatment at the Electric Baths in Sydney, but returned worse than ever, and without any hope of getting about again: At this juncture a medical pimphlet containing theaccount of a remarkable cure by Warner's Safe Remedies in the case of a gentleman who3e symptoms were similar to my own was given me. I resolved at once to com mence with a ooursa of Saie Cure and Safe Rheumatic Cure "alternately, and was delighted to find some relief from the first two bottlef, Persevering until I had taken seven bottles, and one bottle of Safe Pills, I became free from all aches and pains, and able to eat and sleep well and heip myself without any assistance whatever. To this day I have had no return of the complaint, i Many friends and neighbors are ready to. vouch for the truth of this statement, for 1 they say they ne y.er expected me to be about arn^ng them again, and were greatly sur prised that any medicine could do what the Safe Remedies have done for me. I have lived in the colonies forty-five years, and raised a family of nineteen children, and am well known throughout the district of Tarn worth, where my unexpected recovery has giM»ed cj.uifce a lewa^oQ, 1
