Generous Testimony IN PRAISE OF MERIT, Th» Case or Mrs. E. MAC ARTHUR. (BY A LOO 4 U IiKPORTER.) The generous stirrrng of neighbourly kindness that piompted Mis. Ellen fllacartiiur to give the following information to our repoiter has a beneficent radiation that will not be lost upon the resideuts of Woodhaugh, Dunedin, where Mrs. Macarthur's house is situated on the main road. The lady mentioned began by saying :—: — " In the spring of last year I was in a very different state of health to what I am at the present time, for then I was experiencing much unhappiness owing to tho sluggish condition of my liver. For a long time previously I had been feeling unwell, but for a while I did not take much heed of my little ailments, thinking that they would perhaps go away as they had come— on their own account. What a sorry mistake that was to be sine ! Do you know that at last I got so ill that for six T\eekt I was laid up in bed, and sc; rcely able to move from one side to the other. Oh '. it was a terribly trying time, and I pity anybody who Buffers as 1 did then." " Wai it entirely with the liver that you were suffering *'.' enquired the pressman. " It was, although at the time 1 did not know a'liat was the cause of my distte<s, a« I thought I had lumbago, and was treating myselt for that complaint. The pains in the lower part of my back were so dreadful that I had to use hot fomentations aud poultices on the part atlected ; but even those remedies only gave me temporary relief.© When I got out of bed it was only with a painfully slow and uncertain gai» that 1 went about, and, being so high fully weak, I soon became exhausted and had to return to bed again, whore I never slepb without having unpleasant dreams, aud more often than not I did not sleep until morning arrived. Awful pains in th« righb side and aches in all my limbs continually harassed me, and sometimes I had to endure headaches as well. 1 believe that the nasty bitter taste which came to my mouth eyeiy morning had something lo do with spoiling my appetite, which got very poor, and everything seemed to haOe the same il i\or. Quit* regularly J became troubled with flatulence^ after taking my food, .md tlie pains like spasms that came to my stomach were almost unbearable. ' It 10-.ked as though I was going to be subjected to all the ailment 3 that aie possible to be experienced, as, in addition to what 1 have already told you, I was frequently affected by turns of duiiueu, and my nerves were getting weaker every day/ " And all that time you thought you had lumbago." " Yes ; and it was not till I read a Clements Tonic bonk that I really knew what was wrong with me, for in it theie were several cases just Hue mine, where people spoke of being cmed of disordered li\ers by Clements Tonic, and I thought it wise to try the same medicine. The veiy first bottle teemed to do me a little good, and when I had finished my s-cond there •.vas not the slightest doubt in my mind that in Clements Tonic I had got just the right thing for my ailments, as by that timo the pains in the small of my back were «o greatly redviced that there was no more need to resort to fomentations or anything of that kind, and the best pai t of the whole affair was that Clements Tonic not only eased me, but gave me permanent relief from my tortures. lam very pleased to be able to tell you that the pains in my side also went, likewise the headaches, and for restoring one's appetite 1 do not think there is anything to equal Clements Tonic, which was just as serviceable to my uervous system, as my nerves were toned up to a nicety. By a further use of that renie !y I received a lasting releas* from all the painfulness which I had experienced when flatulence took hold of me after eating, the bitter taste disappeared, and dizziness ceased to affect me. To one so weakened as I was Clements Tonic is a sure friend, for its strengthening qualities were really wonderful, and to all who suffer a« I did a year ago I heartily recommend * course of the bame medicine, my reason for so doing being that Clements Tonic quite cured me." " Then I may repoit your remarks ?" " Certainly. You may publish them io any way." STATUTORY DECLARATION.
