Taken Ill In The Street In A Sydney Suburb
A young woman suddenly fell ill on January 16 in a Darlinghurst Sydney suburb. She was aided indoors, revived with stimulants, and later returned home. A second seizure led to a doctor’s visit who diagnosed a severely disordered digestion and ulcerated stomach. The patient improved only slowly, and a later letter from 1869 recalls long misery and gradual recovery after taking Mather’s Sarsaparilla.
