The Case of Mrs. M. TKOMFSOfS. (by a looal'ebporteb.) .■;;.; ; Hearing of an event'which will probably interest every member of the community who reads jit; "a. repbrtiar -' went tbJPark-" street, KenaingtonVfDuheHhY; 5 where MrW 5 Mary Thompson lives; and asked' that lady if it was a?fact, that .she had lately effected a iapid recovery from a.serious illness. " It is quite true," answered Mrs. Thomp. .son/"ana the" more I think of it the more grateful I feel towards Clements-Tonic for the good health it has brought me.. Just after. Christmas I. had an attack of scarlet, fever, which left me in an awfully weak condition. My nerves seemed to have completely broken down, for I got excited at the least, thing, and when anything Occurred to give itie a start,"l could feel myself quivering all over/"/ That was not the 'worst'of it, hbivcver, for my-mind was generally uneasy as to whut was going to happen next, and the things fused to think iibou .were never of a very cheerful nature." " Probably your digestion was not as good as it might have been." " You are right there// It was far from being good, and that is where I thought the real trouble used to lie. ''ln the mornings I got up with a bitter taste in my mouth, and oh, how ; sick and. feeble I felt ! I was. thoroughly pioy.Liatfed with weakness/ and, it:.wo*ulcl : lia,ve ;i)(^ift' ? 'inai!ness ;t6 have tried ■to do my housework. I had to get assist-; Malice, Sf.cbiirse, and'the mere fact of know-* ing that I was so helpless in my own household affairs was the source" of considerable worry to me. How I longed to be able to sit down and eat a decent meal again, so that I might got a libil-j stronger! but at that time 1 do no' suppose- it would have mattered how/ much or how .little late';* consi deiing i! i hat I" could ; di <^est : nothing at - ail." ;*;

" How did,you fool when you had taken some refreShinent ?" ' ••'■■ "Very uhoomforUi'ile indeed, especially about the chest, Whiuh seemed to be overweighted so much that my breath did not comerjfreelyijandT the stomach was. made uneasy with gases that teemed to come from the food. 1 But the headaches I had were as bad as they could ho, and often and often I had atiacks of, giddiness, whioh male '-hie-in constant' diond of them coming on again, because I was so powerless under thorn. Palpitation of the heart served me very badly, too, and my nervous fears always bore a more unwelcome aspect when that trouble seized me, for there is no knowing what such things may lead to. At leastf-rthat is -tins way I -used-to turn matters over in my own mind ; so you see that kirthe.se things helped to make me more and more depressed in spirits, A Avhitish poating* ( eameover my tcsngue, and it was reajly extraordinary how dim my sight got at times, but the main anxiety of my existense was the everlasting evaporation of my .yitality. ily, sleep ,gqt„.very scanty,, but even if 1 slept all night, -which seldom happened,.

"Not even the medicines you were taking,"""' -".•.•»*.> •• >''';; '; ■- No ! not even those to any extent. Sometimes I-got a...triflng...amount of ease from thef doctor's physic, bub it did nob last long, and'then I was as bad as ever again. There was nothing like Clements Tonic for building nie up and driving'away those feelings of lassitude and'depression which had hung like a cloud over my life. You can imagine how,greedily I took each dose of Clements Tonic when it became apparent that it was j3yery ; thi:ig._else. I had tried-r-abte Yb i >cure. ; my nervousness; and Was I ! not delighted to find it giving me a splendid appetite as wellf A few bottles of Clements Tonic.made another woman of me altogether, for it restored my digestion and set me free from headaches and all pains, and for regulating the system and restoring strength it was unquestionably the best medicine I had ever taken. Its action upon my digestive organs-was so sure that there was nothing left undone, and in future' it will be my pleasure to recommend all sufferers to use Clements Tonic, and they will never reg et doing so."
