PKCTS, . . THe Caie of Mrs. M. A. WAtKIR/ ?; (BY A DUNEDIN REPORTER), v A melancholy thought that fixes itself upon one's mind needs as much doctoring ns physical disease, so let the hopeless and careworn be cheered by the story told to a reporter by Mrs. Mary Ann Walker, of JRark street, Kensington, Dunedin, which is as follows: " When I was quite a girl I used to be subject to attacks of indigestion ; and t&en, By some kind interposition of Providence, 1 did not have another attack for twenty-five years;"' " " ~ Reporter:"" Will you be good enough to give mean outline of your latest afflictions?" "*; Mrs. • Walker: " Nothing can be more readily done than that, because I believe in helping other people in the right direction as much as possible, and the best way I ca"s> do so is to tell them how, and by-what physical failings were overcome. I do not think' there are many round here who do not know about it already, as I have lived in Dunedin a.number of years, and I have spoken to many of my friends about the'wonderful curing capabilities of Clements Tonic, which was the remedy that i fin ally overcame my ailments. It was indigestion that I was suffering from again, and I do not believe there is any worse complaintl than that, because the whole system seems to depend upon the assimilative powers of the digestive orgaas. My last attack was very bad jndeed,.for; the pain I had through the wind in the stomach was something horrible. Jr** I was being attended by a doctor, but the most that was done for me was to give a little temporary relief only. For a day or two I might have felt a little, easier, but the intensity of my afflictions seemed to become aggravated during those brief spells, for when they returned the agonies were almost unbearable. The feeling of oppression in my chest after I had partaken of a little food was abominable. It appeared to me that everything refused to go any further than half way down my chest, and cause the breathing tubes to be interfered with, as I was often troubled with shortness of breath, and the pains under my shoulder blades used to cause me misery without end. Perhaps the greatest affliction of all was sleeplessness, for it meant that I had to go through the same tortures at night that I had been experiencing during the day ; and what a wretched thing it was to lie and have my mind tormented with thoughts that were of the most horrible description! I always" fancied that something dreadful was going to happen, and I used to work myself up into such a state of nervous excitement that I trembled in every limb."

Reporter: " You would hardly feel fit for your work after passing such restless nights ?" Mr*. Walker : " I got almost too weak to do anything, and what with the terrible pains auros3 my loins, and the severe headaches I had, I really felt as if life was not worth living. At times I had to take my things off on account of the severity of the pains in my stomach, and many a night I have walked the floor because my agonies were too great forme to bear whilst lying down. I had no appetite at all, and another thing that turned me against the thought of eating was the bitter taste in my mouth, for everything seemed to have a nasty flavour. It was an awfully monotonous life to lead, and if I could help it I would nob go through the same again for worlds."

Reporter: "I understand it was the worst attack you ever had ? " Mrs. Walker: " There is no question about that, and as nothing but Clements Tonic could cure me, you can see why I appreciate that medicine so muoh. I was more feeble than I had ever been before, yet a few bottles of Clements Tonic made me as strong as ever, and the way it did so wan by making my digestion good and giving me an appetite. The relief from pain I got was extraordinary, and how I used to prize Clements Tonic for the way it made me sleep! Nothing can - equal the same medicine for the nerves either, and for curing headaches and giddiness, and for taking away the nasty taste and making one's breath nice and sweet, there is nothing to come up to Clements Tonic." Reporter: " Were you completely cured?" Mrs. Walker: "Completely; so for others 5 benefit you may publish in any way my story." STATUTORY DECLARATION.
