A Greatly Run Down System.

The Case of Mrs. G. Jones.

(By a Special Reporter.)

"I think it is about time you did visi , people in this part of the world," wa, the remark which greeted the ears of tiv reporter who called to interview Mrs Gertrude Jones at her home in Windsor lane, which is a street running directrj off Manukau-road, Parnell, Auckland "I have waited for the opportunity ol doing a public service in this respect foi a long time, so please come indoors, ano you shall hear all." Being comfqrtablj seated in a snugly-arranged sittingroom, the writer recorded the following remarks as they were 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 mj skin, and presently my cheat wai coveied with a troublesome eruption which proved to be very irritating.' "That was certainly a sign of impure blood."

"So the doctor said who attended me. and he gave me something to take the rash away, and also to clear my blood. But instead of doing so, my condition became worse. There was a condition oi great disorder right through my system I felt a dislike to everything- going [ always felt tired and drowsy, and did not care whether anybody spoke to me 3r not. In fact, I was too listless to answer people when they did speak, snd my friends could not make out what ivas coming over me." "Were you suffering any pains ?" " Oh, yes. I shall never forget the way I suffered with neuralgia. I had utermitteiit attacks of the most frightul agony in my head. I did not know vhat I was doing half my time, and 1 >ecame so run down through so manj 'ays and nights of torture, that I fell •xhausted as soon as I started my work, vhich I had to leave undone, and sii lown looking at it in a helpless manner. Mγ appetite fell off to nothing. I could iot look at things which used to be my favourite delicacies, although I eome;imes forced a little down against my vill.» Then I had to suffer for it. The nost repulsive pains in the stomach then ame on, and my chest became very ainful. If there happened to be a briei espite in the maddening shafts of neualgia, I was afflicted with headaches of he worst description. There was no hance of getting any sleep. As my complaint worked ite way right through roj ystem, I became more debilitated even lay, and sharp pains under my ghoul!ers and right down the lower part oi ay back were always present, oemdei vhich I was afflicted witn a dull, oppree ive acKe in every limb. My face wa« taggard and pinched, and I could hardly cc out of my eyes, they were that swollen md dim. I became so weak that I had (iot enough energy to tidy myself." "Did you try any other medicine be ades the doctor's P' T "Yes, till I was hopeless and disbearened. When so many medicines had failed to raise me from this state of abject misery, I gave way to a fit of despondency, and thought I would nevei be thoroughly well again." "You appear to be perfectly hewthy "So I am. I feel ac healthy as ever 1 lid in my life, and I owe my present splendid condition solely to dements Fonic. My sister-in-law had been cured >f neuralgia and debility by Clement* Tonic, so she advised me to try it. with the result that I hare never had neuralgia since I was cured by that remedy three years ago. My blood was panned and made rich, and the rash soon disappeared when I took Clements Tonic, with which I persevered till it made m« is free from pain and as robuet and Wealthy as you see me now. My husband's blood was also out of order two pears ago, and at the same time he had * terrible attack of neuralgia. Both his complaints were also cured by Clement* Tonic. We always have it in the iiouse." • "May I put your statement in print ?" "Certainly. Clements Tonic is a sum jure. You can publish my case in anj way you desire."
