Obstinate Dyspepsia Defeated.

The Case of Mrs. A. McMEEKIN.

(By a Local Reporter)

" When living in Dublin, Ireland, Borne years ago," said Mrs. Amy McMeekin, who fives in the fashionable locality of Great North Road, ArchHill, " I was always in a bad stats of health through obstinate indigestion." " Did you nave any troublesome symptoms P" queried the reporter. " Oh, yea. A peculiar loathing afc the Bight of food indicated that I was losing my health, which I did not intend to give up without having a struggle for it. I used to try and force myself into the belief that I was hungry, and take a little food when I hadn't the slightest desire for it. In a day or two my stomach revolted, and became so weak that it ejected food almost as soon as it was down. My back ached frightfully, besides having pains in the chest like a weight pressing me down and squeezing the breath out of me. I could scarcely breathe at times, very often being completely overpowered with a feeling of suffocation. Sour gases used to arise from the food which had turned bad in my stomach, the pain which accompanied this symptom of indigestion being too much to describe. My heart flickered and palpitated to a shocking extent when the windy spasms were on, much anxiety being caused thereby. My tongue was no longer clean and moist, but dry and furred, and there was an offensive taste continually in my mouth. Then I had insufferable headaches. Sometimes they were acute and piercing, at others dull and depressing. A feeling of drowßiness and despondency was upon me all day." "And how were you at night ? Could you Bleep?" "Very indifferently indeed. After turning and tossing from side to side for several long and weary hours, I generally dropped off into a heavy sleep, during the progress of which I had the most awful dreams, for my mind was full of evil forebodingß oven during the day. But many a night has passed without sleep at all, my aching limbs and terrific body pains driving away the rest I needed so badly. The healthy bloom of youth had entirely deserted my cheeks, leaving my face pale and with a drawn expression. I fell away in flesh terribly, besides getting so weak that I could not exert my9elf in the least without feeling dizzy and faint.' "What kind of treatment did you have?" "I took a lot of pills and medicines which were supposed to be good for weakness and indigestion, but they did not improve my condition in the least. After persevering in vain for many months, I became resigned to my fate. I had given up hope of being cured, when one day a brother-in-law of mine who is a doctor by profession, gave me i some Clements Tonic. He said it was the Best medicine going, and guaranteed | that it would cure me in spite of every Other medicine having failed." "And how did you find Clements i Tonic act?" " Oh, splendidly. I felt Clements Tonic stimulating my digestive functions to a healthy state of activity. The discomforts after etating, such as pain and vomiting, were set aside in no time, and when niy food was permitted to perfectly digest, afber taking a couple of bottles of Clements Tonic, I was never again troubled with eructai tions of wind and palpitation of the ' heart. No; I was mercifully relieved ! of all the agonies which had been gnawi ing at my vitals so long, and my head was clear and free from ache of every description. Such grand results encouraged me to keep on taking Cle- ! ments Tonic, which continued to give Ime strength, and I effected a rapid in- ■ crease of flesh, and was soon quite robust. The feeling of intense depression of spirit went away as my health was regained, and I lost that tired, fatigued feeling of lassitude which had made me so miserable. No longer without hope or energy, as I had been} but instead I was bright and energetic. "Your recovery seems to have been perfect." •, "I can truthfully Bay it was. Since my health was restored by Clements Tonic I have felt grand; therefore, you can publish my remarks in any way you i choose."
