Necessity Necessitates A Necessary

The Case of Mrs. A. TYLEE. (BY A BUNEDIN REPORTER). The necessity for taking' action in a.pr.ao* tical way for the essentially practical purpose of striding over all physical obstacles that bestrew our path is a subject to which subscribers will do we 1 to -devote their attention, and in that .direction a. better beginning cannot be made than by reading the narrative of Mrs. Agnes Tylee, of Rcinkielor-street, South Dunedin, la which she stated :—: — " I am now seventy-four years of age, and hare teen living in Dunedin irore than half that time, so you may depend that I am acquainted with a good few people hereabouts, and when a woman arrives at my age she does not usually say xhings justf for ti:e sako of talking. Long experience teaches us that there is no g«od in wasting words over subjects that cannot benefit anyone, and when I do speak it it generally with some tangible o>ject in view. This is a rule with me either in health or in sickness."

" You hava had," said a reporter, "seme experience with the latter, I believe ? "

"All, yes ; a. full share of it, and on^e I was so terribly run down that I felt myself of a dro»p!\ 1 sleptTbut very poorly, and when I got up in the mornings I always felt ir«a.ry and depressed and had heidach'es thai took away all the pleasures of life. A heavy feeling in the eyes and a t- oublcsoma dimness oriight were also ipy portion, and 1 had a very bitter taste in my mouth, too. It was a long tim* since my appetite was anything like vigorous, and "by degrees id had dwindled away to nothing, «o that I ;ould not eujoy even the small quantity of food I took. More than tli*t, I could nob digest it, and I used to suffer terribly with irind or the stomach, anl heavy pains ill .ny chest, and sharp on between my ihoulders, like pius sticking int» me. I •ras suffering for soni* considerable time like* this when 1 began to find that my ne.vea iveie unhiug*d. Any little thing could upset me and cause my nerves to quiver and my mind b«ca.me more gloomy than ever. Nothing trained to go right, and the most iiinpl<> thing made me feel irritable. All the time my vitality was wearing away, and sometituw 2 was to weak that I could iearcely walk the floor." " VWreyou receiving treatment?" " I hait doctor, but his medicines only tased me for a short while and then I waa 13 ill as svar. I thought that age waa igaiust m» and that I would never get rid >f my ailments. What an awful contemplation that was to be sure ! I shall never forget how miserable I felt." "Bus <« seems that your ideas wer« wrong ? ** f " So they were, but I did not find out the truth till I started taking Clements Tonic, md then my only regret was that I had noc started on that medicine when my troubles oegan. However, I am intensely pleased that I took some Clements Tonic when I did, as it not only saved me from getting worse, but it quite remedied all my physical defects in no time. It was a great) relief to my mind to feel so comforted under the influence of Clements Tonic, and there is nothing that I know of (and I have been in touch with a lot of medicines in my time) to equal the same medicine for toning up the nerves and giving per fact relief from tho agonies of indigestion. With the banishment of those melancholy thoughts which had kept my spirits under I felt qr.iit* cheerful again, and it was all through the invigorating qualities of Clements Tonio that so much new life had been planted in my system. The more relief I got from my discomforts the easier it became for ma to sleep, and, oh, how thankful I was to be able to rest the whole nights through ! Ifc was then that life became sweet again, and in the same way that my sufferings were lef b behind, so can others reap the same benefits if they ■ adopt my advice and resort to Clements Tonic, for I know it to be a sur* :ure for such ailments as mine. For giving an appetite and building-up my enfeebled system Clements Tonic has earned my lasting gratitude, and I shall always .advocate its use wherever I go." " Will you have your remarks in th» papers ? " "They will do good there, so you may publish them in any way you like." ■>
