A Greatly Run Down System.

(By a Special Reporter.)

The Case of Mrs. G. Jones

"I think it is about time you did visi' people in this part of the world," wa. the remark which greeted the ears of th< reporter who called to interview Mrs Gertrude Jones at her home in Windsor iane, which is a street running directlj off Manukau-road, Parnell, Auckland "I have waited for the opportunity o; f loing a public service in this respect foj v long time, so please come indoors, .anc you shall hear all." Being comfortablj seated in a snugly-arranged sittingroom, the writer recorded the following remarks as. they wore spoken : — "About three years ago, ,, began Mrs Jones, "my health was ruined. Mj blood was in a very bad state, I know as I noticed a rash coming out on my skin, and presently my cheat wai i'oyered with a troublesome eruption which proved to be very irritating. (: Th»fc was certainly a sign of impure niood."

"So the doctor said who attended me, dud he gave me something to take the ra3ii away, and aLso fco clear my blow!. But instead of doing so, my condition became worse. There was a condition of disocd&r right through my system I felt a dislike to everything going I always felt tired and drowsy, and did not-care whether anybody spoke to mi or not. In fact, I was too listless t< answer people when they did speak, uid my friends could not make out what vas coming over me." "Were you suffering any pains ?" " Oh, yes. I shall never forget the •my I suffered with neuralgia. I had itermittent attaoks of the most fright ill agony in my head. I did not know hat I was doing half my time, and 1 ecame co run down through so manj ays and nights of torture, that I fell ■chausted as soon aa I started my work /hich I had to leave undone, and sil own looking afc it in a helpless manner fy appetite fell oft to nothing. I could ofc look at things which used to be m.\ ivourite delicacies, although I sonic me 3 forced a little down against m^ /ill. Then I had to suffer for it. Tht \oet repulsive pains in the stomach theame pa, and my chest became verj tinful. If there happened to be a briei •?spite in the maddening shafts of neuilgia, I was afflicted with headaches of id worst description. There was no 'lance of getting any sleep. Ajb my comlaint worked its way right through my ?stem, I became more debilitated even , ■\j, and sharp pains under my shoulere and right down the lower part of ■y back were always present, beeide* •iiich I was afflicted with a dull, oppree ive ache in every limb. My face wat iggard and pinched, and I could hardh 32 out of my eyee, they were that swoller .nd dim. I became so weak that I hac! iot enough energy to tidy myself." "Did you try any other medicine b& idee the doctor's ?"

"Yes, till I ■was hopeless and disbearened. When so many medicines had : ailed to raise me from this state of abect misery, I gave way to a fit of depandency, and thought I would nevei >c thoroughly well again." "You appear to be perfectly healthy low ?"

"So I am. I feel as healthy as ever ] !id in my life, and I owe my present nlendid condition solely to Clements Tonic. My sister-in-lavr had been cured >f neuralgia an"d debility by Clemenif ■'onic, so she advised me to try it, with he result that I have never had neualgia since I was cured by that remedy hree years ago. My blood was purified md made rich, and the rash soon disappeared when I took Clements Tonic, vith which I persevered till it made me is free from pain and as robust and tealthy as you see me now. My hus)and's blood was also out of order two /ears ago, and at the same time he had 1 terrible attack of neuralgia. Both his ;omplaints , 'were also cured by Clement Tome. We always have it in ths Lowse."

"May I put your statement in )rint ?"

"Certainly. Clements Tonic is a sure •ure. You can publish my case in anj vay you desire."
