Exhausted and Worn Out, IttXt MOUTHS*OF MISERY. the Case of Mrs. R. WALLS. (By our oivn Reporter.) \ "Many months of my life were rendered unbearable by regular attacks of '^neuralgia," said Mrs. .Rebecca Walls, i«f No. 4 Tuam-street, Lin wood, to our representative, who was gathering news for the public. Continuing, Mrs- Walls ©aid, "Tli« pain was located under a tooth. firjSt of all, but the most terrific :agony soon spread round my face, and tfience to my head, where it remained mith obstinate persistency, despite all Effort to remove the torture which threaftened to drive me mad. The pains came in jumps, and jerks, and were so Tiolent and intense that they made me itwitch all over. I have often laid ■down and screamed, and my face was . 'distorted with agony." :. ."At night you gained a little relief, f% suppose?" x~'*D<wb you believe it. That was jjust the time I felt the pains twenty (times-worse than during the day. I iTißed to go to bed feeling exhausted and f-worn out, but I was not permitted to > sleep. The consequence was that when morning arrived, I was fit for nothing, and very soon I was so weak that I could scarcely stand without some supfiort.- - I could not look at my breaka#t,.and even when lunch, and dinnertimes arrived the cravings of hunger were still absent. I was obliged; to swallow some light nourishment against my will, or else I would have died of Starvation, but my internal organs wexe 5 in such a wretched state of disorder that nothing would digest. My sto-mach-felt loaded if I only took a couple of spoonfuls. The terrible ravages of my. complaint were manifested very clearly in my face, which was white and aged looking, my eyes also showing how intensely I suffered. You can easily imagine how thin and miserable I looked. The flesh wasted away from, my bofces till there was none left. 1 was simply ah aching frame of humanity, without enough interest in life ...to. care whether I got better or not. 1 could not bear to hear the rattle of a pausing trap, so frightfully nervous and irritable had I become." "How did you get along with yotir housework?" • " Some days I managed to potter about and do a little, but usually I was too languid and; fatigued to attend to anything. Having been a strong •woman, with plenty of energy and diligence, it came very hard to be !aid up like this, and I worried and fretted a good deal over it, ..with the result that % was in a continually melancholy and disheartened condition. It appeared to me that there was nothing for it, but to submit' to the inevitable, and wait patiently for relief. How it came I did not mind, but I knew if it did not com© shortly my constitution would be beyond repair." " " Did you have anything in view to build your hopes upon?" "Nothing whatever. I took goodness only knows how many kinds of physics and pills, without obtaining any benefit, and. I thought there was nothing left untried until I was one day asked if I had ever taken Clements Tonic. 'No,' I said. 'Is that a good thing for complaints like mine ?' My friend told me, in a reassuring manner, to try it and see. This advice was given, with such an air of confidence that I became imbued with the idea that my friend had good reason to make the recommendation. I afterwards learned that such was the case; but, at any rate, I bought some Clements Tonic, and I was soon convinced that there is no medicine to compare with it.' My nervous system improved in no time under the invigorating influence of Clements Tonic, which gave me ease the first day I took it. When I had finished the first bottle there wore Sufficient signs of improvement to warrant a continuance of this new treatment, so I obtained several bottles of Clements Tonic next purchase, and they -effected a radical cxire. My neuralgia " was speedily stopped, and I relished my food and slept well. My constitution was restored to health, no indication* of indigestion remaining. Clements Tonic cleared my system of all ailments, from which I have been free the past six years." : " Would you like people to know tin's?" •• "Certainly. To guide others you may publish these facts in any way." %*%'&.
