Notice? Mistaken fora Ghost! :c But Pretty Substantial Now. The Case of Mrs/M. BARNETT. (By an Auckland Reporter). \ Recently travelling to Henley-street, Parnell, Auckland, the reporter paid a call at the residence of Mrs. May Barnett, which is so situated as to command a magnificent view of the enchanting Auckland harbour.. “ May I take a few notes respecting your late troubles,” asked the reporter. “Certainly, you may. I shall bo most pleased to give all the information you require. Indeed, I think ray case ought to bo advertised all over the world,'b so that everybody may know what to do in case of necessity.” “What was your particular ailment ?” “I was really suffering from head to foot from a complication of complaints in course of time but the ailment from which I experienced the greatest torture was neuralgia, and my system was wrecked so perfectly by the agonies I had to contend with, that. I became a martyr to all sorts of disorders. It is about five years ago now since I was attacked by the most terrible pains in the face and head. The extreme torture which I suffered for seven weeks, without an hour’s cessation is so clearly impressed on my mind that I am not likely to ever forget what the symptoms were like. Terrific jumping pains rushed round my head and neck, making me almost insane. I was so worn out with those continual paroxysms of brain racking agonies that 1 was unable to attend to my household affairs The torture got worse as time advanced and I often felt that I could kill my.self. I am sure I was mad when the neuralgic pains were at the height of their acuteness, as I have done things on those occasions which I would never have dreamed of doing if I had not lost my senses. I could not sleep at night, the approach of which I dreaded, for then the anguish and torment were frightful. The slightest sound startled and upset me, so completely shattered were mv nerves. Indeed, I was so nervous "that I was afraid of my own shadow, and if anybody spoke te me unexpectedly. I received such a snock that I trembled all over. I became very cross and irritable. So would anybody else under the circumstances. My jaws were so painful and sore timt I could not cat, and I was thin and miserable, with a yellow, unhealthy colour in my face. People have said I looked so deathly that they have mistaken me for a ghost.” “ What were the complications of ailments you referred to?” “Well, my digestive organs were greatly weakened and upset, as shown by tire pains in my stomach whenever T swallowed a little milk diet. Then my appetite died away entirely, and I had no inclination to eat or drink anything. Thus I sank lower and lower, the life being daily dragged opt, of me by the torment which affected my brain.” . .

‘ f ‘ Did you try anything to obtain relief ?” .. , . “ I took every medicine imaginable, besides resorting to many old-fashioned remedies and applications of hot bandages but the only relief I got was from the latter, which lasted a minute or two, and then my sufferings would come on again with double the vengeance. I thought there was nothing to cure me, and that my sufferings would continue to my dying day. But my husband’s experience proved of great service in this way. My husband one time caught a severe cold, which settled on his lungs, and his health was altogether shattered. He was weak and debilitated to an alarming degree, and could find nothing to do him good till he commenced taking Clements Tonic, which built; him up splendidly, and made him strong and well. When all medicines had failed in my case, my husband thought Clements Tonic should bo given a chance, so I accordingly bought some, and a beneficiial influence, was soon apparent. I rose from my state of prostration very quickly, through Clements Tonic, which gave tono and Steadiness to my nerves, and decreased my pains, which gradually disappeared altogether. Clements Tonic gave me a wonderful appetite, freedom from indigestion, and complete restoration, to health. Strength and vigour returned, but not the neuralgia, which was completely eradicated by Clements Tonic. Publish these facts any way you desire. STATUTORY DECLARATION.
