Notices. A Wretched and !lop?less Existence. FULLY RESTORED. The Case of Hrs. Elizabeth Mitchell. (from lh, Win-Jar, N.S. W., " Australian"]. (RY OtTli SPECIAL REPORTER.) ,'*i:u,S wax brought to the office that Mrs. U'izaliilli Mitchell, of March-street, Rich- ■ i mkl, Ns.W., had been altlicted with i".ri>|isy nn I access ry symptoms, and had i\covered, in a manner that was As Remarkable as Complete. Tn consequence a icporter was instructed to make the closest enquiries and elicit the fu'l i'i Ir.jlg e.f the case. Mrs. Mitchell kindly volunteered te» funii'h the fullest details. " I found myself gradually losing my health," said that lady. "I felt hear/ ■v.ml dispirited, and f-.-ly Head always Ached. Pains between the shoulders made themselves felt, and a sharp, alarming pain in the side racked me suddenly now and then." "From what did this pain in the side ari.se '! " « " The doctor said it was from my heart, and indeed my heart often used to flutter strangely, and sometimes I should go quite faint, and would nearly Lose Consciousness Altogether. The rest I obtained at night was so distrain d and deficient-, and I was so weak and fagged in the day time that I couldn't get through my work. Indeed, sometimes I tliould be so sick and faint that I was forced to yo to bed in the middle of the day." "What else, Mrs. Mitchell?" "My Icjrs began to swell. Sometimes the swrlHng wiii.li! extend to my foot, and I •vus not able to get on my shoes. Sometimes my legs would get gradually larger for days, r.:id then they would decrease in size for a time, leading me to believe that I was gcltirg 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, and when a finger was pressed on the place it would lc*vo the mark for a long while. When my legs were very bad it was Very Painful to Walk, Rnrt 1 often had to lie up from this cause." " How was the appetite ?" " Very bad ; just a little light food and A cup of tea three times a day; not nearly enough to keep up my strength to fight against my complaint." •' Well, how did you get on ?" "Got worse all the time. I could see I was going down hill and getting weaker every day. I was dragging out a Wretched and Hopeless Existence, wuen I heard that oue 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 faintuess. Then I noticed, with a great deal of satisfaction, that the swelling in my legs was gradually decreasing, and showed no signs of growing up large again. The flesh was firmer, too, and 4iad a healthier appearance. I kept takinj; Clements Tonic, and I gradually got rid olt" the swelling altogether, and my legs became as strong and healthy as my arms." " How about your general health!" " Oh, Clements Tonic Did Me Good All Over. I could get my rest at nights now, and come to my meals with an appetite, and I was soon rid of the various ailments that had accompanied my dropsy." " I presume I have your consent to pub* lish this?" " Oh, yes ; certainly." STATUTORY DECLARATION.
