A Point Scored.

Jft Soynd Lesson from Other People's Experience. The Case of lira. 0. LEMON* (mr ax ontoo bbfobhb.) Many people with troops of friends gat ai Christmas time more presents than they care for. A perfect avalanche of turkeys and other good things descends on them, and they grumble at these, at the worry of having everything come together without knowing how to use them all. But there are gifts which prove serviceable all the year round, snoh a one being bestowed upon our readers by Mrs. Cecilia Lemon, dl Gisborne-street, South Dunedin, who said to an enquiring pressman : " I was living in Mornington six yean ago, and for some time before leaving that locality I was not at all well. My system seemed to be broken down, and I could not get along with my work. My trouble was uidigestion." " Are you quite sure," said the reporter * that you have not made a mistake about your complaint ?" " Yes; I know it was indigestion, because I had been to a doctor, and lie was treating me for that ailment. Altogether I suffered a good many years, and it seemed so painfculy dtrange to me that the doctor's Medicines could never do me any good. After so much ineffective treatment, I began so think I would never be oared, and I thought I would rather anything happen than I would live continually m such misery, ft) was so long since I had been able to ek down and eat a good meal that I had almost forgotten what it was like to have an appetite; but my great misfortune was that the little I did eat had no strengthening affect upon me, and, besides, it gave me s*p¥ m immense amount of pain. The oppression in my chest after the taking of nourahmeei was almost unbearable. Everything seemed to lie like a great weight and stop up the passages through which I breathed, and th* pains not only affected my chest, but ala» «rent right through into my was quite a common thing for me, when I was -Icing a little dusting or other light duties in the house, to be taken with sudden fits of giddiness, which affected me so badly that! Would have to put aside whatever I was ioing, and rest until the attack had gone way. The daily decrease in my vitality brought further disaster to me in the form of nervousness, as I could not bear to hear ~ny noise, and if I got startled by any snanner of means my nerves trembled to great excess. Such adversities as the* •vere bad enough to endure during the day, but when, through sleeplessness, X had to put up with them again at night, it we* t sally terrible. After lying awake for hours it was usual for me to fall into a slumber that did not do me much good, for I was dreaming all the time, and I awoke feeling as tired as ever. I was troubled greatly with flatulence, and although I was considerably weakened right throughout, yet it was in my back that I felt the weakness most, and the aches across my loins were very troublesome. That wearying sickness brought my weight down a good deal, but now, I am thankful to say, I am as stout and hearty as ever I was, and it is all due to the cure which I .managed to obtain ihrough the use of Clements Tonic" " Were you advised to use that remedy f" " No. I read a testimonial about it, ami the case was just like the one I was complaining of, so I thought Clements Tonic •night do me good, too, even though tfi«i doctor's medicines were of no avail"; iffi£d~tt' was a blessing that I did get some, for I picked up my health with remarkable rapidity. Clements Tonic acted well upon my whole system, giving me an. appetite und such freedom from pains, giddiness, and nervousness that in a short, space of ■Sine I scarcely knew myself. I could not -realise that the complaint which for several years had held out defiantly against all pre nous treatment was really being conquered! at last, but the fact became patent to mo I'ater on. Headaches, sleeplessness, flatulence, and the other tortures of indigestion were gone, and I always slept soundly, and awoke feeling fit for the day's work. Believe me, it was a happy release, and I anal' tiever forget Clements Tonic for it."
