A ANOTHER DUNEDIN DYSPEPTIC FINDS A REMEDY.

The Case } (JBy a Local RtforUr.) Mrs. Louisa Scott,. of .33 &ti Davidi fcrefct, Uuiibdin, although la the midst of, preparation. Jot, the approaching fee* tivitleS or Christinas and New , Year when our reporter called, &sid she VM always prepared to devote an boar or two in discussing the details of her exceptional experience. rj , . “1 hear that youunderwent.’ajjrewfc cliaugo some months ago?” remarked the’reporter. I ; ,‘iSo Idid,” repiied Mrs. fiteott. Until this last year or so I wss-a'big, stout woxhajj, abd hardly hvefJqfew what it was to fbel tiled,' although 3 used to work very hard. Id’ fact; 1 worked too hard, for which I suffered:; severely. When *got about half 1 way through my meals a sudden sense offuiness came on, as though I would choke if 1 ate another mouthful. Them my stomach swelled; out with wind, the -tenderness also being so great that I ; could, not bear any clothes on. My?;»ppetite was very capricious, as I ' was quite ravenous some days, whilst on others I could not eat at ail. A dull pain settled in my chest, whilst at all times I.experienced: greatlagony between my shoulders. JVprso than all, I got so debilitated' that I had' to give up my housework. After the most 1 feeble efforts to do anythitfg-a s «inkifig feeling came'over ,me and I was prostrated for the rest of the'day. The meat hideous thoughts preyed upon my mind when; I laid down with the intention of going to sleep; my. thoughts wandering over tearful imaginations so persistently r,hat I could not even get a short doze. I became a perfect victim to insomnia, and have gone for weeks without*sleep. ' This had such astupifying effect upon it my brain that I gazed upon everything and everybody, around me with that '•strange bewildered expression which is seen in persons who are partly demented. I could not collect my thoughts for « moment, und as I lay in a sort of dead weakness I could hear everything itaid and done, yet I could not speak, jfy tongue, which was covered with a vhite coating, seemed to be paralysed, far it often happened vjlipu I,wanted to say something that I could hot make a distinct utterance.” f ■■■■ “ Wore you alarmed at your condition, Mrs. Scott?” “T can-assure-you that I was always, worrying and fretting, as I was afraid [ was sinking away. My nerves were luite shattered. I started and quivered from head to foot at the least thing, . if a neighbour came round to the back door and I Happened to be ; near it, as ■ooii as I heard the sound of a voice I i- creamed aloud in terror. Really, ipy ifo was nob worth living, as I was: always twitching uorvotisly as though I: had St. Vitus' dance, and my heais* idied so unmercifully that I thought it \ou'd split.. Across the loins the moat erriblc ..pains existed, and the contjnu■nce of4hese maladies brought me down o a miserable shadow, besides being -cry yellow in appearance. The simple icfc of bending down made me feeLgiddy in raising my head, when a’ niist also came before my eyes, the sight of which Was in a very-imperfect state. By: the time all these symptoms were fully dere 1 oped my stomach was in such a weak condition that I could not retain even invalid foods, the smell of which turned mo against it. My digestive apparatus was completely but of order, so that it was impossible for anything to nourish fug.** “ I expect you tried very hard to get relief?” . “Of course I did. My doctor said I had diabetes very far advanced and treated me accordingly. Sometimes I used to think his physic was doing me a little good, and shortly after J was just as bad as ever. Th© relief was only temporary, so at last I gave him up and started 1 taking Clements Tonic as a last experiment. The result was this: My nerves were made sound, swellings and stomach paixis ceased. insomnia was cured, digestion restored, aches and torments banished—-all by the use bf Clements Tonic, which made me healthy ; and happy. To similar sufferers I em phatioally recommend Clements Tonic., and you can wublish my testimony any way you deem advisable.”
