ANOTHER DUNEDIN DYSPEPTIC FINDS A REMEDY.

. The Case 01 L. SCOTT, J —— 7 {By a Local lieporlcr.) % Mrs. Louisa, Scott, of 38 Sfc. David*tr«et, Uunudm, although in. the midst jl prepare i ton for the approaching fesivilies oi Cluivciiias ami New Year ivhea our reporter called, said she was always prepared to devote an hour or avu in discussing the details of her exceptional experience. fi "1 hear that you underwent » great •li-ngc some months ago?” remarked' ■ lie reporter. "So- I did,” replied Mrs. Scott. ' Until this last year or so 1 wu a big, <.ouc woman, and hardly ever knew vhat it was to feel tiled, although J ■used to work very hard. In fact, I worked too hard, for which I suffered •everely. When I had got about half way through my meals a sudden sense of fulness came on, as though I would choke if 1 ate another mouthful. Then my stomach swelled out with wind, the endorness also being so great that I oubj not boar any clothes on. My appetite was very capricious, as I was juito ravenous some days, whilst on •thers I could not eat at aH. A dull pain •ettled in my chest, whilst at all times I experienced great agony between my shoulders, Worse than all, I got so debilitated that I had to give up my joufoworlt After the most feeble ifforts to do anything a sinking feeling •mno over me and I was prostrated for he rest of the day. The most hideous hov.ghts preyed upon my mind when I aid down with the intention of going o sleep, my thoughts wandering over ■ivrful imaginations so persistently h’jj I could not even get a short doz«. t became a perfect victim to insomnia, end have gone for weeks without sleep, fhis had such a stupifying effect upon my brain that I gazed upon everything end everybody around me with that trange bewildered expression which is oen in persons who are partly dement'd. I could not collect my thoughts for k moment, and as 1 lay in a sort of ■»ad weakness I could hear everything lid and done, yet I could not speak, ly longue, which was covered with a hito coating, seemed to be paralysed, or it often happened when I wanted to ay something that I could not make a .istinct utterance.” “ Were you alarmed at your eondiion, Mrs. Scott?” “ L can assure you that I was always worrying and fretting, as I was afraid r was sinking away. My nerves were nit© shattered. I started and quivered rom head to foot at the least thing, f a neighbour cam© round to the back oor and I happened to be near it, as eon as I heard the sound of a voice I reamed aloud in terror. Really, my fe was not worth living, as I was always twitching nervously as though I ;ad St. Vitus’ dance, and my head ehed so unmercifully that I thought it ou d split. Across the loins the most n rible pains existed, and the cbntinunce of these maladies brought me down o a miserable shadow, besides being cry yellow in appearance. The simple :'b of bending down made me feel giddy n raising my head, when a mist also »mo before my eyes, the wight of which •.■as in a very imperfect state. By the ume all these symptoms were fully developed my stomach was in such"a weak condition that I could not retain even invalid foods, the smell of which turned me against it. My digestive apparatus was completely out of order, so that it was impossible for anything to' nourish me.” . “ 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 according'y. Sometime® I used to think his physic was doing me a little good, and shortly after I was just as bad as ever. The relief was only temporary, so at last I gave him up and started taking Clements Tenic as a last experiment. The result was this; My nerves were made sound, swellings •and stomach pains ceased, insomnia was cured, digestion restored, aches and torments banished —all by the use of Clements Tonic, which made me healthy and happy. To similar sufferers I emphatically recommend Clements Tonic, and you can publish my testimony any way you deem advisable.” STATUTORY DECLARATION. I, Louisa Scott, of No. 3> St, David-sitaal, Dunedin, la the Colon? oi New Zealand, do solemnly ud sincerely declare Out I have carefully read the maned document, consisting of two folios, and consecutively numbered from dm to two, and Inal It centals: and la a true ud faithful accent of ray lUaeae and cure hy Clements Tonic, and also contains my full permission to paUisb In any way my statements—which I give voluntarily, without receiving any payment; and f make this solemn declaration, conscientiously baWevteg the ssme to be true, and by virtue of the provisions of an Act of tha General Assembly of New Zetland, intituled "Tha Jntttoeeef Peace Act iM*."

Stow Wnata fljn IWMMt, with Hie small** end at now Sorik, so that all things from all sections eouM scramble in At on* end and tend with a certainty at the other, the business men of Hew York might not fee engaged, as they are at present, in what threatens to be the last struggle to prevent the general trade center of America from sloping to the interior of Hm> eon tenant* savja Arthur I.' Street, in Atoslee'a. Twenty or more years ego nearly everything gravitated toward New Stark, Boston, Philadelphia and other cities of the North Atlantie section. The raw product* of every portion of the we*t» from Utica to Denver, tumbled over themselves to reach the manufactories of the east. The retailers of the west, from the Monongahela to the North Platte and the Sacramento, sent their orders for pots, pans, hoehandles and groceries to the jobbers of the Harlem and the Schuylkill. The farmers of the west shipped their wheat and corn from the Mississippi ▼alley to the shores of the Hudson and the Narragansett to purchase their plows and their hay-rakes. But in the latter portion of 3h« seventies the process began to atop, and it has been stopping ever since. The food stuff and raw material of tho west have found that home is a good place to stay. Grocers and furniture dealers and clothiers and shoemakers think that freight charges saved are batter than trade-marks &i old fjrstft on she Atlantie. Woods grown la the forette of the northwest and the south are turned into harvesters and wagons and office desks in the vicinities of their birth. The man in the west does his business in the west. The man in the south does hie business in the south. New York is simply submitting to a law of geography. There are mountains and rivers between the west and the south and the north and east, and commodities of trade, like human beings, climb or swim only for necessity or for sport. Grain refuses to go up the Blue Bidge in order to get down to the Atlantie, because it can reach the ocean at the gulf or the great lakes with I half the effort. Orders for metal or cloth balk at the mountains and the distance to the east and north, because they have found that they can get what they want in the nearer fields of Birmingham and Superior and North Carolina. As Col. J. M. Lowe, of Kansas City, put the thing rather aptly some years ago, in a speech made in reply to a declaration by railroad managers that the diversion of traffic to the gulf waH to be checked: "It's no use. The fiat has gone forth and all the managers in creation cannot stop it. Western grain will not submit to climb the mountains and be hauled 1,300 miles down to a seaport when it can reach deep water on a down grade in half the distance. For a quarter of a century the west, like a gigantic Alderney cow, has been standing, stretched across the continent with her hind feet in the east, and we are getting tired of all this and propose to ehange ends."

The rule against smoking on the premises is a rigid one, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "See here, my man," cried the offl< cial, "you can't smoke -here." The new man looked up and nodded and the superintendent passed along. A half hour later he was back again, and lo! the new man was still enjoying his pipe. "Say," the official cried, "didn't I teli you that smoking was not permitted here?" >)^ "You did," replied the new man". "Didn't you understand me?" "I did." "See here, perhaps you float know who lam?" "That's a true word." "Well, I'm the superintendent." The new man looked up at the official with an expression of deep interest. "Are ye, sure?" he cried. "Superintendent, eh ? Well, it's a fine job—take care of it." And he calmly returned to his work. Where Amth«ttr W»jr»« Once Re«<*d.

Wow Going Through Saddest Economic Experience in Its History. W«lt-Gr««n*e<l Pride of Her Bu»iii*»« in Her He-putAtion tor Co»morolal Homer Has Suffer** TferoaK* Dftssrtraeeftal Fra-ada. Germany is undoubtedly going through its saddest economic experigee; since the empire tu founded, saj's the Berlin correspondent oi the New York Journal of Commerce. The well-grounded pride with which German business men have hithertr: contemplated their excellent reputation abroad for commercial honor hut* suffered a most severe blow. The Frankfurter Zeitung - admits in a reoent market review that in no similar period of business depression in Germany have so many cases of "disgraceful frauds and common swindling*" been exposed. However, it ia felt here that the sensational character of many of the disasters of the past year have given foreign observer* an exaggerated impression of tht atate of things prevailing in Germany; not only that these disasters have created a false view as to the average of German business integrity, but that they have magnified unduly the proportions of the German crisis as seen from abroad. It i» pointed out that Germany has a total •4 about 5,500 joint stock companies, and that the- number of compani«-« that have failed or gotten into financial difficulties constitute but a slight proportion of the whole. Still the bourse views the situation very pessimistically. Beside* the many unfavorable factors in the situation itself, additional uncertainty comes from the tariff agitation. Business men so not know what will be theiz condition under the new tariff law which goes into effect January, 1904. The great crisis in the German iron industry, for example, is chiefly due to the fact that all consumers of pig iron committed the vast folly at the height of the boom of placing contracts for iron for several years in advance, .and .at the high prices then prevailing. Many of the capitalists that have recently gotten themselves into financial difficulties brought on these difficulties by excessiv* expansion. After the present crisis is over an fcnterssting chapter can be written upon the intimate relations of the German banks with industrial capitalists. The jaunty confidence with which all foreign criticisms of the system was dismissed here up to a year ago has certainly given place to a more reticent attitude among financiers, and they are now much more willing to admit the dangSM ot the system.

An iaassning steamer reports fearing pawned the Dark Secret, the little canvas-covered folding-boat in which Capt. William Andrews and hi* bride started for a honeymoon te% across the Atlantic three days ago. The little craft was reported to be making fair headway, though pounding a good deal owing to lying ae low on the water. The Dark Beerst ie 14 feet in length and sits danga»> ouely deep in the water as the »e----suit of the stores which have been packed in every nook of the boat and her 300 pounds of lead ballast. Capt. Andrews means to hold fete eourse toward the Asore islands. He expects that with ordinary fair weather he will make them in eight weeks. He 1 counts on the Dark Secret making ten miles an hour. He Is alone ia the belief that she will make that time. Half the speed ia what i§ given her by many authorities owing to the light sails carried and the peculiar build of the Dark Secret. Three or four months may be naeeseery to stake a successful Journey. Capt. Andrew has achieved much on voyage* in small boats.

The Paris Messenger says that an attempt to resuscitate the old Roman amphitheater near the Jardln des Plantes, Paris, is about to be made. This ancient arena, which is now used partly as a playground for poor children and partly for omnibus stables, has a remarkable history. It is one of the largest-known Romas arenas, and dates back to the first century. There is evidence that Emperor Julian held sports there.
