1 "ACHED With a" Weary Weakness A Prompt and Sure Relief. The Case of Miss M. L. KMPE. {By aB. uff lUporltr,) . Immense crowds';pf, visitor? streamec into the iiiip-.v;:i!tt towns of 'New Zea laud u wanes,-, the festivities inaugur alii'i for the purpose of commemorating the closer of the nineteenth century. Among the arrivals .of the; folks from the coiintry was Miss Marianne Louisa K/iupe, whoso home is at Clifton, about Four nines from Invercargill. Speaking to a reporter Miss Knipe said, in answer to the usual "How are-you?".®. "Vwy well, thank you. But you shouid have seen me- this time last year. I was ci.xt.te uniifc to. indulge in the usual Chris' iin'is gaieties. The reason is esiily; explained, for my health was wretched. The first ailment was an attack of measles, which left me very low and weak. Whilst suffering from this 'complaint: I was so restless that I could not keep still a minute. I was always walking from one room to another, and at last I caught a dreadful cold, which turned to influenza.'- ;I was suddenly attacked with chilliness, quickly" followed .by 'flashes of intense heat. My poor limbs ached with a weary weakness that quite prostrated me. If I tried to stand up my legs commenced to tremble,, and then they gave, way as.involuntarily as though my knees had been struck from behind. I Was troubled with' '' an agonising headache, besides suffering from a feverish thirst, and accompanied, by an alarming:elevation of my temperature. A most distressing cough, also added |o my sufferings, a, circumstance" which (occasioned a great amount of expectooratiotn. My heart also showed signs, of weakness, especially after the; exertion ©£ coughing, when, ,it fluttered, very rapidly and caused me many an. anixious thought." -, " Were you able to render any domestic assistance, Miss Knipe ?" "As long as I.was able to stand up I, did a little housework;' but I was soon obliged, to lie up in feed, and for five days'l was just a; helpless invalid, being unable to .do anything for myself.. I did not seem to have enough strength to sneeze, for although I always wanted to I could never succeed. All I could do was to go through the preliminary ' facial contortions connected with sneezing, and then it would end with a cold, miserable shudder. My eyes were inflamed and watery, with a burning ache behind them which had the effect of making me feel giddy when I looked at any reading matter. The colour of my tongue was about white, while not the least of my troubles was a total loss of appetite.,."'■ When I even looked at food a feeling of sickness came overme, and as I sank lower and lower I lost my usual disposition to be cheerful, besides having tormenting notions in my head which kept me awake at night. From the want of nourishment my body became as thin as a* post, comparatively speaking, for I was fairly stout before my sickness robbed me of my robust appearance. There was a feeling in my chest as though a heavy weight was pressing the breathing valves together and preventing respiration. I neve* dreamt that influenza is' , such •a, dangerous disease as it is, and -n very thankful that I got over it ! . There was one period of my . ', heh I was quite discouraged and oned owing to the physic I had filing to'afford relief, but I was . cirds told that Clements Tonic had -d a friend of mine of influenza, so - ivied it myself." "Did Clements Tonic fit your requirements?" "Yes, in every respect. After taking a few doses of Clements Tonic I was able to eat a little, and after fasting so long I was glad my appetite reappeared. A rapid change followed. My head ceased aching, and the racking pains in my body were hunted away by Clements Tonic, and at the same time my food had a nourishing and sustaining effect on me.' This was borne out by a daily increase'in flesh and strength,, the influenza symptoms meanwhile vanishing.. Clements. Tonic invigorated me wonderfully, and since my complaint was cured I have not required a dose of physic of any sort." " With your permission I will report this." / "You can publish my testimony any way you like." STATUTORY DECLARATION.
