fte Ham of £Tk A. WALKER. i<.>-g A »BWK»IH RBPOBXHR). A meivaaholy thought that fixes itself upon on■•'':-, mind needa as much doctoring as physical difteane, bo let the hopele»s and careworn b» cheered by the story told to a reporter by Mse. Mary Ana Walker, of Park-street, Kenaiagton, Donediu, which is as follows t—"When X' was s«it* a girl I used to be subject to attacks of indigestion; and then, by some kind interposition of Providence, I did not Iv, >■•■: @ another a&teak for twenty-five years." Reporter t *' Will yon be good enough to give me an outline of your latest afflictions?" Mrs. Walker: " Nothing can be more readily done thaa that, because I believe in helping other people in the right direction as much as possible, and the best way I earn do go is to tell them how, and by wh» means, my physical failings were overcome. I do not think there are many round here who do not know' about it already, as I have lived in Dnnedio ft number of years, and I have spoken to many of my friends about the wonderful* curing capabilities of Clements Tonic, which wad the remedy that finally overcame my raiments. It was indigestion that I was Buffering from again, au4 I do not believe there if any worse complaiab than that, because the whole system deems to depend upon the assimilative powers sf the digestive organs. My last attack was very bad indeed, for the pain I oad through the wind in the stomach was something horrible. Ih*. %• time I was being attended by a doetbr, bat the most that was don* for me was to give a little temporary relief only. For a day or two J might have felt a little easier, but the intensity of my afflictions seemed to become aggravated during those brief spells, lor when they returned the agonies were almost unbearable. The feeling of oppression in my chest after I had partaken of a little food was abominable. It appeared to me that everything refused to go any further than half way down my chest, and cause the breathing tubes to be interfered with, as I was often troubled with shortness of breath, and the pains under my shoulder blades tised to cause me misery without end. Perhaps the greatest affliction of all was sleeplessness, lor it meant that I had to go through the same tortures at night that I had been experiencing during the day; and what a wretched thing it was to lie and have my mind tormented with thoughts that were of the most horrible description ! I always fancied that something dreadful was going to happen, and I used to work myself up into such a state of nervous excitement that I trembled in every limb." Reporter: " You would hardly feel tit for your work after passing such restless nights ! " Mrs. Walker: " I got almost too weak to do anything, and what with the terrible pains across my loins, and the severe headaches I had, I really felt as if life was not worth living. At times I had to take my things oft on account of the severity of the pains in my stomach, and many a night I have walked the floor because my agonies were too great for me to bear whilst lying down. J had no appetite at all,' and another thing that turned me against the thought of eaiiug was the bitter taste in my mouth, for everything seemed to have a nasty flavour, ft was an awfully monotonous life- to, lead, and if I could help it I would nos ge through the same again for worlds." Reporter: "I understand it was the worst attack you ever had ?*' Mr./ Walker: " There is no question about that, and as nothing but Clements Tonic could cure me, you can see why I appreciate; that snedicine so much. I was more feeble than 1 had ever been before, yet a few bottles of Clements Tonic made me as strong as over, and the way it did so was by making my digestion good'and giving me an appetite. The relief from pain I got was extraordinary, and how I used to prize Clements Tonic for the way it made me sleep! Nothing can equal the same medicine for the nerve 3 cither, and for curing headaches and giddiness, and for taking away the nasty tafste and making one':i breath nice and sweet, there is nothing to come up to Clements Tonic." Reporter: "Were you completely cured?" Mrs. Walker: "Completely; so for others' benefit; yoa may publish in any way my story."

PENNY WALK AS A SPOBff. • ' New Way off Killing Time Discovered fey a Traveling Man WJnile )■ in Boston. "You might think that a traveling man's time was fully occupied, but there are occasions when he feels the. need of relaxation, and, although theaters arc well in their way, they * occasionally pall." It was suggested that the traveling man might go to bed occasionally in order to catch the morning train, but this particular man would not listen to that, says the Chicago Tribune. "I was in Boston last week," said he, "and a man put me onto something new. the idea, is like this. It, won't, work in a town where you're acquainted, but say yon are in a strange place, it has its exciting elements. You go out of your hotel in the evening, either alone or with a man who is equally ignorant of localities, and you walk two blocks in any direction. Then you halt and toss a cent. Heads you turn to the right; tails, you turn to the left. The next two blocks you repeat the tossing up, and follow th&,ihdicator. So you keep on until you have twisted and turned all over the town. Tor variety there is nothing to equal it; it brings you into the strangest quarters, and you see sights that yon would otherwise miss. Of course, there is a chance that you will double on your tracks, and come back to where you started, -but in that case it is allowable to cheat, or take another toss-up. Try it some time when you are in a strange town and you'll have more fun than a cat fight."
