" Nauseating, Splitting Headaches." The Case of Mrs. C. WOODWARD, (By our Special.) ■ m Following upon the coin winter season in Auckland the summer heat proves very trying to many of the inhabitants of the beautiful city, where Mrs. Christina Woodward's residence is situated in Eden Terrace, New North Road, Auckland. A. reporter interviewed this lady some time ago, and the investigations made are well worth repeating. "I hare heard that you were once a sufferer from a serious ailment, Airs, woodward ?" "You are quite correct. I was indeed in a very bad state of health for fully six months. 1 have had a large share !of trouble and adversity in my time, ' and I am naturally a great one to worry. jMy health broke down completely, and 1 1 became a victim to terrible nervous I weaknesses and depression of spirits. i For months I felt myself geting more, listless and dull every day, and then dreadful headaches attacked mc, together with aching pains in the limbs and back. My skin wa3 hot and dry, as though all healthy substances had been drained out of mc. I was always longing for a drink of water, but I could not quench my feverish thirst, no matter how much of it I drank." i "Were you able to eat?"

'•Very little. My appetite was doubtful and uncertain for a long time. Some days I could pick a little at my food in a mincing, half-hearted fashion, but you would be surprised ait the agonising pains I endured afterwards. I felt severe attacks in the side and chest, as well as great discomfort and torture in the stomach after eating. l) I only took a mouthful the agony was .just as grent, so I soon left off eating much. Besides I was never hungry, so there was no necessity to give myself unnecessary torment. My face was as white as death, with the exception of my eyes, which were very dull, with dark lines under

them. I dwindled away to a shadow, getting thinner and thinner c*. cry (lay. My weakness became so extreme that I could not walk even a few yards without feeling faint and exhausted, so I had to neglect a good leal of my housevvo/k. J was slowly sinking into a state of helplessness, and I was considerably barassed by foolish fears of trouble ahead, 'Jout.inually fretting over my illness made matters worse, increasing, as it did, my 'tate of fearful nervousness to such a degree that I dare not remain alone in the house. I was always tired and languid, without the least inclination to engage in conversation with neighbors or lriends. In the morning my tongue warfurred and swollen, and a sour taste was in my mouth the whole day. At night I could not sleep, feeling too restless and worried to settle myself do.ru, and had it not he-en for my domestic responsibilities I would not have cared what happened. My head troubles got worse and worse, and the rumbling noises that ran through it making slumber all the more remote."

"What did your doctor do for your" "Absolutely nolhing of a beneficial character. His r edicines made rof» sick ■very time I took 1 dose : but he d:d not describe anything to restore my health. ': was this fact which made mc so melmcholy and desponc'-nt. My heart pal.ita+ed with great violence whenever 1 noved about, but I have since found out .at th' 3 wind in my stomach was the ;ioin of this cause of anxiety, although :t the time I feared death would carry ne away." . ''Did you try any medicine ether than .•cur doctor's ?" "Yei. a great number; but they were 10 ;-;ood. My were unabated ill T took a friend's advice, and started 'ii Clements Tonic, arc! then my ail•:ents were quickly under control. My '"ryes soon calmed down under the nothing influence of Clements Tonic, vhi-h drove my body and stomach Dams iway, when I had only taken two jotties. The nauseating, splitting head-i.-hes which had made my life a burden rere also cured by Clements Tome, and i could soon eat liberally without pain r discomfort. Strength and vitality, veierht and colour, came back through elements Tonic, and my health has been crfect ever since. To benefit others ;'--u may publish these facts in any way ,-.)U like."
