SUCH PROOF Tho Gate of Mrs. A, OHUROHILS* <B7 A BPKOUL BSPOBTBR.) However modest our means, we can a!! holp someone do something if we will but consider how. To perform a laudable act, great wealth iB not always imperative, though, of course, it is sometimes useful; but in matters similar to those referred to by Mrs. Annie Churchill, of Kensingtonstreet, Bouih Dunedin, it is only a considerate disposition that is needed to enable ub to place before the general reader something that should prove both interesting and profitable. At the commencement of her narrative, Mrs. Churchill said : "Two years come April I waa in very dire straits with my kidneys, and had been so for about three years previously. It was a dreadful feeling that always affected me—as if I wanted to do nothing else but sleep. I was living in Christohurch when I was taken ill, and people there could tell yon how dreadful my sufferings were. I oould not eat, I could not sleep—even though I waa continually in such a drowsy and depressed condition—for it happened that when I retired to bed the inclination to sleep wen t away, owing to my brain becoming active with the most unhappy thoughts, and I could only turn about in a state of restlessness till morning. Never without a bitter taste in my mouth in the mornings, the desire for food was entirely absent, so I had to make myself eat a litte; but how did I have to sutler for it afterwards? Goodness me ! if I ouly took a cup of tea I was nearly oat of my mind with pains, and any food I had seemed to turn sour, and cause me to be inflated with wind. I was then persecuted with what people call windy spasms; and oh, dear ! how terribly severe they were !" " What were you taking to check your sufferings?" inquired a special reporter. " What was I taking ? Why, pretty well everything in the medicine line that a person could take; but as much cold water would have done the same good, for I was not benefited at all. My head often turned so giddy that I used to think I was going to tumble down in the street, and my loins ached so badly that it was really painful to stand. I dared not move any more than I could help for the violent pains that were fixed between my shoulders, but I think my chest troubles were as bad as any. The heavy pains there almost had a suffocating effect. It seemed tome that something had got blocked in my chest, with the result that as I drew my breath I had to lift a weight that caused me pain in the operation. My limbs ached again simply from sheer weakness, and to show you how thin I got I may as well tell you that I went from ten atone odd down to eight stone seven." " A loss of nearly two stone," interrupted the writer. " Yes. Wasn't that awful. And I got so utterly nervous that I became excited and timid at the least noise, and could not bear to be in the house by myself at nights. Now that I have told you so much, can you wonder at my great appreciation of Clements Tonic for sending away from my life all those physical persecutions? Several people advised me to try it, bat I thought it was a lot of nonsense doing so, because I had taken so many medicines before for nothing. Then some German friends wrote and advised me to take Clements Tonic, and between them all I was at length persuaded. Thank Gcd I was ! as I got such wonderful ease from my agonies after taking two or three bottles of Clements Tonic that the world was brighter to me than it had been for nearly three years. Before long the pains about my back and chest had vanished. I started eating well, and the effect of Clements Tonic on my digestion was marvellous. So with my nervous system, and I was so delighted to find that giddiness was not troubling me, and that my strength had all come back. There was such a pacifying influence about Clements Tonic that I could always sleep well, and to that medicine alone I owe my thanks for quite ouring me of my terrible ailments."
