Notices. A Wretched and Hopeless Existence. HEALTH FULLY RESTORED. The Case of Mrs. Elizabeth Mitchell. IFromtht Windsor, N.S. W„ " dustratlanT). (BT OUR SPKCIAL RErORTKR.) News was brought to the office that Mrs. Elizabeth Mitchell, of March-street, Richmoiul, N.S.W., had been afflicted with dropsy and accessory symptoms, and had recovered in a manner that was As Remarkable as Complete. In consequence a reporter was instructed to make the closest enquiries and elicit the full details of the case. Mrs. Mitchell kindly volunteered to lurnixh the fullest details. "I found myself gradually losing my health," said that lady. "I hit htayy and dispirited, and My Head always Ached. Pains between the shoulders made them•elves felt, and a sharp, alarming pain in the side racked me suddenly now and then." "From what did this pain in the side arise ?" " The doctor said it was from my heart, and indeed* my heart often used to flutter strangely, and sometimea I should go quite faint, and would nearly Lose Consciousness Altogether. The rest I obtained at night was so disturbed and deficient, and I was so weak and fagged in the day time that I couldn't get through my work. Indeed, sometimes I should be so sick and faint that I was forced to go to bed in the middle of the day." ••Whatelse, Mrs. Mitchell?" "My legs began to swell. Sometimes the Bwelling would extend to my foot, and I was not able to get on my shoes. Sometimes my legs would get gradually larger for days, and then they would decrease in size for a time, leading me to believe that I was getting better; but the hope was always disappointed, for, after a short respite, they would commence to swell again." " What was the swelling like ?" "The skin was of a whitish colour, an* hen a finger was pressed on the place it would leave the mark for a long while. When my legs were very bad it was Very Painful to Walk, and I often had to lie up from this caust." •* How was the appetite ?" " Very bad ; just a little light food and a «up of tea three times a day ; not nearly enough to keep up my strength to fight against my complaint." •' Well, how did you get <m ?" " Got worse all the time. I could see I Was going down hill and getting weaker •very day. I was dragging out a Wretched and Hopeless Existence, wnen I heard that one of my relatives, who was very ill, was obtaining great benefit from the use of Clements Tonic, and I at once obtained some." "Any distinct effects ?"• " Yes, upon my heart. Clements Tonio certainly Steadied the Heart's Action, for my heart gathered strength every day, and I was troubled no more with that feeling of faintness. Then I noticed, with a great deal of satisfaction, that the swelling in my legs was gradually decreasing, and ■kowed ho signs of growing up large again. The flesh was firmer, too, and had a healthier appearance. I kept taking Clements Tonic, and I gradually got rid of I the swelling altogether, and my legs became as strong and healthy as my arms." ** How about your general health t" «• Oh, Clements Tonic Did Me Qood All Over. I couid get my rest at nights now, and come to my meals with an appetite, and I was ■oon rid of the various ailments that had accompanied my dropsy." " I presume I have your consent to publish this?" " Oh, yes; certainly." STATUTORY DECLARATION.
