Another Win In Otago.

PKCTS . . . The Case of MrsT M. A. WALKER.

(BY A DHNEDIN REPORTER).

A melancholy thought that fixes itsefi upon one's mind needs as much doctorini as physical disease, so let the hopeless and careworn be chtered by the *tory told to * reporter by Mrs. Mary Ann Walker, o« Park street, Kensington, Dunedin, which il as follows :—: — " When I was qui'e a girl I u*»d to b« subject to attacks of indigestion ; and then, by some kind interposition of Providence, 1 did not have another attack for twentj-fiv« years." I Reporter: "Will you be good enough tt give mean outline of your latest afflictions!'. Mrs. Walker : " Nothing ctn be mars' readily done than that, because I believe iv\ helping other people in the right direotion] as much as possible, and the best way I canj do so is to tell them how, and by what means, my physical failings were overcome: I do not think there are many round her*' who do not know about it already, as ] have lived in Dunedin a number of yeara^ and I have spoken to many of my friends about the wonderful curing capabilities of Clements Tonic, which wad the remedy that finally overcame my ailments. It was indigestion that I was suffering from again, and I do not balieve there is any worse complaint than that, because the whole system seems to depeud upon the Assimilative powers of the digestive organs. My laBt| attack was very bad indeed, for the pain I; had through the wind in tho stomach was something horrible. For some time I waa being attended by a doctor, but the most' that was done for me was to give a little temporary relief only. For a day or two I' might have felt a little easier, but tha intensity of my afflictions seemed to become aggravated 4; during those brief » spells, for when they returned the agonies were almost unbearable. The feeling of oppression in my chest after I had partaken of a little food was abominable. It appeared to me that everything refused to go any furthec than half way down my chest, and cause tha breathing tubes to be interfeied with, as I was often troubled with shortne»3 of breath,' mid the pains under my shoulder bladcr used to cause me misery without end; Perhaps the greatest affl ction of all wa« sleeplessness, for it meant that I had to go through the same tortures at night that I had been experiencing during the day ; and what a wretched thing it was to lie andt have my mind tormented with thoughts that were of the most horrible description * I always fancied that something dreadful, was going to happen, and I used to work myself up into such a state of nervous excitement that I trembled in every limb." Reporter : " You would hardly feel fit for your woik after passing such restless nights ? " Mre. Walker : " I got almost too weak to do ' anything, and what with the terrible pains across my loins, and the severe headaches I had, I really felt as if life was not worth living. At times I had to take my, things off on account of the severity of the pains in my stomach, and many a night I have walked the floor because my agoniei were too great for me to bear \\ liilst lying io<vu. I had no appetite at all, and mother thing that turned me against the thought of ea ing was the bitter taste in my mouth, for everything seemed to have a nasty flavour. It was an awfully monotonous life to lead, and if I could help it J would not go through the same again foi worlds.'' ■> Reporter : " I understar. 1 it wat tha worst attack you ever had ? " Mrs. Walker: "There is no question ibout that, and as nothing but Clements Tonic could cure me, you can see why I *ppreeiate that medicine so much. I was more feeble than I had ever been before, yeb i few bottles of Clements Tonic made me an itrong as ever, and the way it did so wan by making my digestion good and giving me an ippetite. The relief from pain I got was ixtraordinary, and how I used to prize Elements Tonic for the way it made me ileep ! Nothing can equal the same medicine for the nerves either, and for Buring headaches and giddiness, and for taking away the nasty taste and making >ne's breath nice and sweet, there is nothing to come up to Clemeuta Tonic." Reporter : " Were you completely :ured ? " Mrs. Walker: "Completely; so for others' benefit you may publish in any waj my story." STATUTORY DECLARATION.
