The Case of Mrs. M. THOMPBOH (BY A LOCAL REPORTSB.) Hearing of an event whioh will probably interest every member of the community who reads it, a reporter went to Parkstreet, Kensington, Dunedin, where Mn; Mary Thompson lives, and asked that lady if it was a fact that she had lately effected a rapid recovery from a serious.illness. " It is q»iitetrue,'' answered Mrs. Thompson, " and 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 oeself quivering all over. That wns not the worst of it, however, for tny mind was generally uneasy as to what wns jroins? to happen nevt, and the things I used to think abou were never of a very cheerful nature." " Probably your digestion was not ; as good as it might have been." " \ou are'right there. It was far from being good, and that is where I thought the real trouble used to lie. In the morniugs I got. up .with a bitter tastt in my mouth, and oh, how sick and feeble I felt! I was thoroughly prostrated with weakness, and it v ottld have been madness to have tried to do my housework. 1 had to get assistance, of course, and the mere fact of knowing that I was so helpleis in my own household affairs was the nource of considerable wirry to mo. How I longed to be able' to sic dinvti and eat a decent 4 meal again, so that I nvijrht get a littl • stronger ! but at that>timu I do not. suppose it would have mattered how much or how tittle I ate, eons'de.-inir that I could digest nothing at " How did you feel when yea had takes *om" refreshment?" " Very unemforta -le indeed, especially about the chest, which scorned to be overweighted so much tiii.t my breath did not Loin • freely, and the Hu.inaoii was made uneasy with gases thatseemiid to come from the food. But the headaches I had were as bad as they could be, and often and often I had attacks of giddiness, which made me inconstant dread o! them coming on again, because I was so powerless under them. Palpitation of the heart served me very badly, too, and my nervous fears always bore a more unwelcome aspeit when that trouble seized me., for there..is no knowing what such things .way. lead to. ; .At least, that'is the way I used .to turn matter- ot.er in my o»< n mind so yi<u see that all these things helped to make me more and more depressed in spirits. A whitish coating came over my ton true and it, was really extraordinary how dim my" sight got at times but the main anxiety of my existense was the everlasting ewipurati' n of my vitality. My sleep got very scanty,; but even if I slept al' night, which very seldom happen d, 1 i'elt equally tired next day, so thiii not'iiug seemed able to console or comfort, me." * "Not even the medicines you were taking," "' .'.' ■'■..-' No ! not even those to any extent.

Its action upou my digestive organs was so sure that there was nothing left undone, and in future it will be my pleasure to recommend all sufferer--: t«i use Clements Tonic, and they will never teg et doing so."
