Obstinate Dyspepsia Defeated.

The Case of Mrs. A. McMEEEIN.

(By a Local Reporter).

"When living in Dublin, Ireland, tome years ago/ said Mrs. Amy McMeekin, who lives in the fashionable locality of Great North Road, ArchHill, "I was always in a bad state of aealth through obstinate indigestion." " Did you have any troublesome symp;oms ?' queried the reporter. " Oh, yes. A peculiar loathing at :he sight of food indicated that I was losing my health, which I did not in;end to give up without having a itrugde for it. I used to try and force nyself into the belief that I was hungry, rad take a little food when I hadn't the dightest desire for it. In a day or two my stomach revolted, and became so ireak that it ejected food almost as soon is it was down. My back ached frightfully, besides having pains in the chest ike a Weight pressing me down and squeezing the breath out of me. I could scarcely breathe at times, very jften being completely overpowered with a feeling 6f suffocation. Sour rases rued 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 ihocking extent when the windy spasms were on, much anxiety being caused thereby. My tongue was no longer dean 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 drowsibow and despondency was upon me all day." "And how were you at night ? Could you sleep?" "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, luring the progress of which I had.the most awful dreams, for my mind was Ml of evil forebodings even 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 seeded so badly. The healthy bloost 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 myself in the least without feeling dizzy and faint." "What kind of treatment did you hareP"

"I took a let-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 on© day a brother-in-law of mine who is a. doctor by profession, gave me ■ome Clementa Tonic. He said it was the beet medicine going, and guaranteed that it would core me in spite of every other medicine having failed." " And how did you find Clements Tonio act?"

"Oh, splendidly. I felt Clements j Tonicr stimulating my digestive func- i fcionfi td a healthy state of activity. \ The discomforts after etating, such as pain and vomiting, were set aside in no time, and when my food waa permitted to perfectly digest, after taking » couple of bottle* of Clements Tonic, | [ waa never again troubled with eruota- | tions of wind and palpitation of the | heart. No; I was mercifully relieved \ of all the agonies which had been gnawing at my vitals so long, and nay head waa clear and free from ache of every description. Such grand results encouraged me to keep on taking Clements Tonic, which continued to givo ac strength, and I effected a rapid inswase of flcu, and was soon quite ro- | 3U3t. Tile feeling of intense depression 1 \ A spirit went aw&f aft my health was J jegawed, and 1 lost that tired, fata- I f Sued fwlJ«g of lassitude which had f made me so Miserable* No longer with- | sni hope <t* «a»t& x as 1 had beoa; but 6 instead Iwm bttgnb aad energetic." | " Your recovery seema to have been ! i perfect." [j "I oaa truthfully say it was. Since ; 'f. nay health was restored by Clements Ijj Tonic I have felt grand; therefore, you { ?an publish my remarks in any way you a ahoore." . ;•• J
