es y,j> r* Wi 1 ii W : L'hi» t *i:ss; Clements Tonic Restores Strength. fhe Case of Mr*. 1. j ■< _ (fly a Sptciul Heporttr,} ■ No. 13 Leith-street, Drotedln, is the house wherein Mrs. Jane Hand resides To our reporter Mrs. Hand stated that she had been a great sufferer from bronehiua, a complaint which materially affected her well-being in l after iile The statements given below are trans cribed as they were uttered: 'My case was considered a very bad one by my doctor," said Mrs. Hand, "so much so, indeed; that grave fears "vere entertained that my disease would (levplop into chronic complaint. I was everlastingly throwing up large quantities of a thin watery fluid, and I wa> quite exhausted by a continual cougi and the excessive expectoration oi phlegm. All my strength entirely melted away, my bones being left with no thing but a yedow-coioured skin tt cover them.' On retiring to bed 1 usually slept for two or three hours, but never longer, for my sleep was then broken by short but violent fits o! coughing, the exertion of which worke-; me into an uncomfortable state of per spiration. A pause then ensued, lasting, perhaps, for an hour, and then tin cough suddenly commenced again, often accompanied by the rejection! of considerable quantities of phlegm. M.y throat felt as if it were complete!} blocked up, and it was only with the | greatest difficulty that I managed tc breathe. During these attacks there .vas a feeling of compression of my i.h«.3 vvh.ch was so severe that I had fco liny hold of any m»uW ©kjeot nw aft hand s« that it aright assist me is drawing in my breath. My lips were blue and my pulse so weak that it could hardly be noticed beating. The distress I was so extreme that I often thought I | was going to die from suffocation." " 1 can quite understand you being ! frrcaty debilitated after such Buffering, i remarked the repSiter. "Yes. I was prostrated with weakJ ness. The nicest of dainties could not tempt me to eat, as a rule, though I partook of a little invalid's food occasionally, which always brought on frightful pains in my stomach. Just above.the hip was another place where much tenderness was located, whilst the dreadful twitchings between nt\ shoulders were so painful that I could not lie on my back. The daylight wa. too strong for my eyes, as it made them almost sightless with an awful binning ache. In the warm summer mon:!;.!. my sufferings were at tbeii worst. I then felt more tired and Ituv gnid than ever. Every morning in; mouth was in a bad state, with a tongue covered'with a bitter-tasting fur. I go so excitable and nervous that I started trembling at anything and everything afterwards remaining in a state of feai for a long time. Thns I continued tc waste away for about twelve months, and as the doctor's medicines were quite inadequate to check the progress of my disease, I became afflicted with a fee mg of depression and sorrow, which raide everything in life look dark and comfortless. I did not care what happened, even feeling indifferent as to whether I got better or not. Indeed I did not expect to regain my health a.s my complaints seemed invincible against, ail physics. I could neither eat, sleep, nor work, and my head was in a whirl with constant aches." "No wonder you were so dejected. But about your recovery. 4Jqw did that transpire?" " Ah! That is the bright side of mj story. A number ef friends recommended me to try medicine after medicine, each of which made me sick at the stomach, till at last I came across an advertisement in the paper speaking of the virtues of Clements Tonic. As a last resource I bought a bottle of Clements Tonic, and I soon had convincing proof that I was going to bo saved from death. My old ' troubles were quickly removed, everything I could wish for being restored through the medium of Clements Tonic, In two or three weeks there was not an ache or pain left; I slept well and .my appetite was good. My strength and energy returned, and my comp'aints all yielded to Clements Tonic—a medicine which I have frequently recommended to other sufferers. The public should hear about the merits of Clements Tonic, so you may publish id any way my statement*."
