terrible weakness and weariness I could not rest either night) or day. I can honestly say I did not sleep for foui months, and it is a great wonder thai I retained possession of my senses, for J was in a frightful state of mental anxiety all the time. The noise made by the children when playing about tin house was most exasperating. A shuddering thrill went through my enfeebled system at the slightest bound, as well at being sent into a state of nervous agitation. " Under such tribulations you must have become exceedingly melancholy?" "I cannot say that I was at all despondent, because I was past being wdr ried by anything. I had not sufficient strength to properly realise the awfulness of my condition. I was between life and death, with the balance hanging on a delicate thread which was likely tc snap at any moment. The hospital seemed to be the only place where ] might get a little better, 601 went. Up to making this more the treatment J had been receiving was not th* right kind. As soon as I got into the hospita I was examined, arid shortly after I wa informed that an operation was indisponsab'e. It did not matter to me wha; they did, as I was heartily sick of m,\ life. Anyway, I was in the hospital for three months, arid in the meantime 1 had undergone three operations. How I survived them is a mystery to me, foi I had not the strength of a kitten." " What did the doctors say about youi case ?" f " The doctors said I had ulceration of the stomach, and that I cou'd not live a fortnight. They injected morphia ant kept me plentifully supplied with medi cines,'which did no good. The doctor and nurses were exceedingly kind ant attentive, and I am sure they did everj thing in their power for me, but thei efforts were inadequate. As they cou!< not cure me I went home nearly dead I tried another doctor, under whose ad vice and treatment I made no improve ment. I was daily getting less able tt stand the agonies which were torturing me to death. The doctor gave me up afc last, saying he could not cure me. I was suffering so acutely at the time that I ordered him out of the house because he admitted his inability to do me good. To seek further for relief nowseemed but a waste of time and money. I could only be relieved by the coming of death, for which I waited patiently. I was aroused from this despondent frame of mind by hearing of a case likf mine being successfully, treated witl Clements Tonic. I started on the sam remedy that day. I could only take r teaspoonful at first, a portion of which, 'ike everything else, I vomited. 1 tool: another dose of Clements Tonic late on, which remained in my stomach, ant I have never vomited since. After th' failures of endless medicines and severa doctors, after living on ice and milk fo; four months, Clements Tonic rescue-' 1 me from the jaws of death. I was abk to increase my food gradually, and the soothing influence of Clements Tonic brought peaceful repose, besides *estor ing strength and vitality. Tlrjs I con tinued with that wonderful medicine til I was well enough to discontinue it. T< all sufferers I heartily recommend C'e ments Tonic, and I wish you to publish these facts in any way you deem advisable." STATUTORY DECLARATION. I, Jeannib Anderson, of 14 Smith Street.
