ANOTHER DUNEDIN DYSPEPTIC FINDS A REMEDY.

The Case of Mrs. L. SCOTT. (By a Local Reporter.) Mrs. Louisa Scott, of 38 St. Davidstreet, JJuuedin, although in oi preprfiv..;ou for the ■■approaching fesuvities ot Christinas and TSew Xear rtheu our importer called, &aid she was always prepared to devote ah Hour or two in discussing the details of her exceptional experieuce. w " 1 heat that you underwent a great change some months agoP" remarked viie reporter. "So I did," replied Mrs. Scott. '' Until this last year or so I was a big, stout woman, and hardly ever knew .vhat it was to feel tiled, although I used to work very hard. In fact, I worked too hard, for which I suffered -severely. When I had got about half way through my meals a sudden sense 5f fulness came on, as though I would ;hoke if I ate another mouthful. '.Then my stomach swelled out with wind, tehe endorness also being so great that I :ould. not bear any clothes on. My apjuito ravenous some days, whilst on others I could not eat ~t aH. A dull pain settled in my chest, whilst at all times I experienced great agony between my shoulders. Worse than all, I got so debilitated that I had to give up my tousework After the most feeble efforts to do anything a sinking feeling .amo over, me and I was prostrated for she rest of the day. The most hideous thoughts preyed upon my mind when I aid down with the intention of going co sleep, my thoughts wandering over fearful imaginations bo persistently vhat I could not even get a short doze. [ became a perfect victim to insomnia, xnc] have gone for weeks without; sleep! This had .-uih n, stupefying effect upon my brain that I gazed upon everything •uid everybody around me with that •trange bewildered expression which is <*B;i in persons who are partly demeht- ■•]. I cou'd not collect my thoughts for \ moment, and as 'I lay in a sort-of ■lead weakness I could bear everything *aid and done, yt : t I could not speak, '•ly tongue, whi.h was covered with a »hl'-'e costing, seemed to be paralysed, 'or it of evi happened when I wanted to ay something that I could not make a 'istiuct u f orance." " Were you a!:.rmed at your condiion, Mrs. Scott?"'' "I can asr-'TS you that I was always worrying and fretting, as I was afraid f was sinking away. My nerves were ,nito shattered. I started and quivered ."rem he".J !.o foot at the least thing, U a neighbour came round to the back !oor a«d I happened to be near it, as oon as I heard the sound of a voice I •warned aloud in terror. Really, my fe was not worth living, as I was always twitching nervously,as" though I .:id St. Vitus' dance, and my head (•lied so unmercifully that I thought it ou-d split. Across the loins the most irlble pains existed, and the continunce of those maladies brought me down o a miserable shadow, besides being ?ry yel'ow in appearance. s The simple - -t of bending down mad© me feel giddy in raising my head, when a mist also | me before my eyes, tho eight of. which .as in a very imperfect state. By the ;ime sill these symptoms were fully dese'oped my stomach was in suet a weak •ondition that I could not retain even invalid foods, the smellof which turned me against it. My digestive apparatus was completely out of order, so that it was impossible for anything to nourish me." '% " "I expect you tried very hard to get relief?" . _ i' Of course I did. My doctor said I hrtd diabetes very far advanced and treated me according'y. Sometimes I used to think his physic was doing me a little good, and shortly after I was just as bad as ever. The relief was only temporary, so at last I gave him up and started taking Clements Tonic as a last experiment. The result was this: My nerves were made sound, swellings and stomnch pains ceased, insomnia was cured, digestion restored, aches and torments banished—all by the use of Clements Tonic, which made me healthy and happy. To similar sufferers I emphatically recommend Clements Tonic, and you can wblish my testimony any ,vay you deem advisable." STATUTORY DECLARATION.
