SAVED FROM MISERY,

Mrs Fanny Dent, wife of a gentleman employed in the Lambton col er.es, kindly Xwb us. to publish the following. facta of lmr iritereatiog case and wonderful recovery, which *e gather from her correspondence, and which wo shad be glad to allnw anyone to peruse who wishes f 0 d 0 80 . Mrs Dent has-been uTa state of extreme debility for twelve years, ±reauently quite unable to do any work, the lightest kind causing great Tallgue.witb Bo ß vere pains in the limbs*'back, and left side So severe was the pain that she would have to sit‘or lie down frequently. Walking exercise, was very trying, and ebe could only 1 walk very slowly, bbe had I, OE seen Clements Tonic advertised, but, like many more people, he* husband was prejudiced against “ patent medicines, hni (now we use hqrown words) I knew Sit °d. mbp h.d,.md Clement. T 00.., add £ decided to get a bottle on the quiet and say nothing about it if it did me no anod The effect I thought something wWdeifnt. I felt better the_ firat dose, and by the time I had taken haff a bottle I waß« a different-woman. My husband, friends and neighbors soon noticed the oh'dhge in me, atari they could not make it out. I bad to tell -tbA truth ,h«t it was Clements Tonic that waa making me strong! 1 could not keep the ssoret, B I- .was - only, too glad to give the oredit to Clements Toato. After finishing the bottle, work waa no trouble to me, but rather a pleaeure, and after doing a heavy day’s washing i could go for a walk instead of having to go to bed, as always hspbened before :taking; Clements lonic. One of my neighbors said to me last week— 1 Why, Mrs Dent, you are doing wonders this week, how is it you are so Btrong now I’ She knew i had dona more that week than I had been able to do in 12 years before (she had known me this time, for T atn an. old reddent of this locality, having lived here for 15 years.) I replied : ‘ Yes, I feel a wonder to my seif so I’ll tell you the secret; I have been taking Clements Tonic, and I cannot tell you the benefit I have derived from it You know what my sufferings have been, and now I have a genuine taste of good health.’ ” Mrs Pent wrote us those particulars of her remarkable cure in March. She wisely, however, decided to continue the medicine to "clinch the cure” us it were. Some time afterwards she wrote as follows " Waratah Commonage, N.8.W.,-Doar Sir,-It is with great pleasure that I pen these few linos. I have been as you kuow a great suffered from weakness and debilily for years. I was un'der several doctors, but they never did good/ 1 despaired of ever being better, but as I slated-in my last letter I eaw Clements Tonic advoitiaed. I tried a bottle and its effect waa someting wonderful. I felt better allDoßt immediately, and was a new woman after finishing the first bottle. Before taking Clements Tonic it was a great Iroiib'e even to do « little house-work, but afterwards my woik was a pleasure, and pay friends ana neighbors were surprised at ihe change in me I cannot say too much in praise of it and can only gratefully describe my cade and strongly advise all who suffer from weakness, backache, paiu in the side, ringing noises itr the ears, and shortness of bcealh to take Clements Tonic. 1 feel sure it wi'l do them as much good as it has done me.—Yours gratefully, Funny Dent.’ We have great pie-sare in thanking this lady for allowing us 10 publish, tbis case. We constantly hear of similar ones which people object to have published through a false delicacy. We only want to publish them in the inlereHie of suffering humanity. Surely it is not wrong fur peop'e to acknowledge ihe genuineness and re lability of m article, when they have proved it to possess the properties we claim for it.
