L.. hioneu i e,.s ui respect o nio.j.. .»;ory have; ciiecled gieat changes throughout the world, but the present and forthcoming generations profit by the progress 'made. An interesting study is found in noticing the gradual development of most scientific 'natters, and the reader will find his atiiwution absorbed in tracing the followug compilation of events, emanating, as Iwy do, fioin what is frequently conjured a * trifling and unimportant jiigin, and ending in a climax of considerable magnitude. The narrative appears in the words of Mrs. Jeannie Anderson, of 14 Smith-street, Dunedin. "In my earlier days," began Mrs. JUsdersoii, " I was troubled very much vith indigestion. Like most persons addicted to this complaint, I thought it •vaa only a trivial disorder of a temporary nature, and that it would go away on its own account. The symptoms vere certainly very.annoying, but for <ome time they were not sufficiently .erious to call for medical aid. That was ■nj opinion then, as I only had a feeiing ;f discomfort after food, but after a dii'.e the pain gradually increased until ' :t became a severe wearing or burning ensation. I then commenced to think ..hat I was in for a bad spell of sickness. Severe pains in the back started to tornenfc me shortly after taking my meals, .vhich were now indulged in in a very Jelicato fashion. I was very careful vhat. I ate, and took but little, as I lad only a meagre appetite. If 1 took V cup of warm nnlk T suffered as much is though I had eaten a pound of steak, ho pain and uneasiness at the pit of he stomach being just as great. My '■e was deathly white, with dark lines ' ,-a/er my eyes, the sight of which was greatly impaired. Sometimes the pul.ation at the wrist was to feeble that scarcely- a throb could be felt. A sense if great oppression was present in my jhest; a matter which affected my breathing. I was always sieepy and . vora out. As soon as I got up tn the loriaing I felt inclined to go back to bed gain, and for all the good I was I "-flight just as well, for I was only in 'tlier people's way. Constipation bearne a chronic complaint, and i became > weak at last that I could not sweep lie floor." \ " II is a wonder you did not lie up, ' Irs. Anderson."';,. "So 1 did, and ...shortly afterwards I. us seued with agonising pains in the ■envois, attended with great prostration .i strength. I could not raise myself ;'p in. bcf! without becoming faint and eiddy. > These symptoms were quickly •)i owe* by the extension of pain of a :aore violent character than ever over he stomach, then came a miserable '■'••eling of nai!7e,a. My skin became cold •ul c'.rirmy. and my features were horb'y hrunken. For days 1. did not eat> neither could I get out of, ed. On one •3,coa¥ioa I managed to p*Tt my feet on he floorfin'ending to stand up-and try o walk, but I quickly iell and was ioub'ed up in* agony for some time before anybody came to my assistance. Whatever food I succeeded in swallow.jig war. promptly thrown up again. If [ tock but a tablespoonful of milk, or a .mall waf r biscuit, 1 vomited vhem at incc, and brought up, besides, large ruantities of what the doctor called digestive blood.' There was not a paiie'e of fool whU'h passed my lips but vhat io crm'e up again, and always ac•ompanif'd wi hj vo'umes of blood. This ince-sant. b'ood-vemiting induced a •jimiing. swo'len feeling in the eyes, combined with blinding headaches. If J rlorl to ti oop. my head became dizzy everything in the room appearing to nviin round and "wind, and to. make 3t';ers wese my ivghhs were more *]*?■? Ui.-in f>rer. The trying ordeal. I M ''.'• every day made me feel •■ cv'i, hn; in spite of my terrible weakness and weariness I cpulc 1 not rest either night or day. I cai. honest y say I did not sleep for foui months, and it is a great wonder thai I retained possession of my senses, for 1 was in a frightful ' state of mental anxiety all the time. The noise made b. the children when playing about th. house was most exasperating. A shuddering thriii wont through my enfeeble*.. system at the slightest sound, as well as being sent into a state of nervous agita tion. " Under such tribulations you must have become exceedingly melancholy?" "I cannot say that I was at all despondent, because 1 was past being wotried by anything. I had not siUnciehH strength to properly realise the awfulness of my condition. 1 was between life and death, with the balance hanging on a delicate thread which was likely tr snap at any moment. The hospital seemed to be the only place where i might get a little better, so I went. Up to making this move the treatment 1 had been receiving was not the right kind. As soon as I got into the hospita I was examined, and shortly after I vva informed that an operation, was indispensable. It did not. matter to me what they did, as I was heartily sick of m;» life. Anyway, I was in the hospital for three months, and in the meantime I had undergone three operations. How I survived them is a mystery to me, for I had not the strength of a kitten." " What did the doctors say about your case?" * . " The doctors said I had ulceration of the stomach, and that I could not live a fortnight. They injected morphia ano kept me plentifully supplied with medi cines, which did no good. The doctor, and nurses were exceedingly kind and attentive, and I am sure they did every thing in their power for me, but then efforts were inadequate. As they coulc not' cure me I went home nearly dead I tried another doctor, under whose advice and treatment I made no> improvement. I was daily getting less able to stand the agonies which were torturing me to death. The doctor gave me up at 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 mo good. To seek further for relief now seemed 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 desponden' frame of mind by hearing of a case lik< mine being successfully« treated with Clements Tonic. I started-on the.sam remedy that day. I could only take a teaspoonful at first, a portion of which ike everything else, I vomited. 1 tool mother dose of Clements Tonic late l on, which remained in my stomach, am" I have never vomited since. After th failures of endless medicines and severa doctors, after living on ice and milk fos four months, Clements Tonic rescued me from the jaws of death. I was abb to increase my food gradually, and th< soothing influence of Clemen Is Tonic brought peaceful repose, besides restoring strength and vitality. Thus I continued with that wonderful raedbino til I was well enough to discontinue it. Trail sufferers I heartily recommend Cements Tonic, and I wish you to publish these facts in any way you def-m advisable." STATUTORY DECLARATION.

To Prevent Croup, begin in time. The first symptom is hoarseness; this is soon followed by a peculiar rough cough, which is easily recognised and will never be forgotten by one who has heard it. The time to act is when the child first becomes hoarse. If Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is freely given, all tendency to croup will soon disappear. Even after the croupy cough has developed, it will prevent the attack. There is no danger in giving this remedy as it contains nothing injurious. It always cures and cures quickly.
