Tiie Enervating Heat of Summer TAKES ALL THE LIFE OUT OF ONE. THE .VITALISING ANTIDOTE The Cass of Mrs, A. KiPKE.

A reporter had Mm k<mo>:: m an interview with that- 1;■.■!;•, nnd as f;« subject, is of no mean importance it i; given below in the in:crust- of readers. "I tV-siro to elicit a few farts coucor:-i----ing your health," said tin- reporter. "By al! means,''' was Mrs. Kipke's reply. "Conic inside and be seated, am; then I will gladly tell you all about ni;. hitter exper.tvtco. I an; a native of tin North of i'higland, and tlierei'ove I :;:i. accustomed to a csltl climate. Koine years a£o I came f.-> lire in trie cn!eni"s .and the change tvifch me verj niTieli. The enervating lie.it. of suimu": toek all life out of me, anil made uie sick in many ways. 1 found myself getting; more fei>hle and listless every day, and I was soon convinced that 111,1 health was seriously affected." "Were there irany symptoms to justify that conviction?" "More than I like to think of, although a good space of time has intervened since then. For years my liver was sluggish, and if became more inactive under the altered climatic- influences. My digestive organs were completely upset, ami caused no end of torture and annoyar.ee. Whatever I ate failed to agree with me, causing a great aismuif of pain in the chest, like ;< heavy load sijuees-ing the breath out 0; me. It was hard to catch my brvai It when the feeling of suffocation was 011 and the short, gasps always produced sharp pains in my side, as though a needle was being run through my ribs. These dreadful sensations aUo attacked me in the back, nude.- the shoulders, and my head was in a. continual state of agony with piercing streaks of pain which drove me almost frantic. It wn> impossible to sleep, and I turned restlessly in bed night after 11 i;;;i 11. without closing my eyes. With weary limbs I dragged myself from bed in the morning. feeling greatly the loss of the sleep that ray excruciating pains had kept away. My senses were dull on arising, and 1 war, incapable of realising the responsibilities of the day until it was fa: advanced. Instead of commencing Ha duties of my house with a light, heart when the morning meal was over, I sat - about the house in a dejected nio;.vi. without enough energy to do a hand'.' turn. The only time I got a little relief from the awful stomach pains was whet: the undigested food was vomited. The food turned sotir instead of digesting, and a lot of wind used to arise and cause much pain and inconvenience before the act of vomiting cam? on. This unpleasant operation came 011 after nearly every meal, and the retelling which continued long after all the* food was thrown up increased the severity of my headaches and left, me in a state of helpless exhaustion." "It is a wonder you were able to eat under such circumstances." "Quite true. But my appetite, did not last long after my sickness got a fair hold of me. In a few days I had lost all desire far food of any kind. The appearance of delicacies which usually tempt the most fickle appetite had the effect of making me feel sick at the stomach. I dreaded the setting in of very serious trouble on account of the way my heart used to palpitate. Whatever was the cause of this source of anxiety I do not know, but I can tell you that the unnatural fluttering of that organ accounted for many an hour's intense grief and discomfort.. An unwholesome taste was always in my mouth, making everything offensive to the palate. My tongue was covered with a moist, bitter substance, and my breath bore disagreeablo evidence to the unhealthy condition of my stomach, which could liot hold nourishment of any kind. Consequently I became awfully thin in face and body, and my strength gave way completely. I had 110 colour, my lips being almost as white as my faoe. " My eyes wave uu longer oltmr and bright, but were dull and heavy with a burni-j; ser.sat'on behind them, r-d ol*en Ittie h;a"'- specks dazzled in Irnt- of i;;y vis'p 1. and made me feel ;«!!•* -:uu:>\ ;• day I sank lower into tin- de- : * .if misery. My vitality 'lowly but ;> spent itself, until I be--e-d; v:iat my aching bones ,lni! a resting place in any u to 1 could neither sit down nor .v,rk about- with any comfort, and my i!:sp< entirely changed. Being s.i-dead beat and languid, and unable to ve'-t anywhere, I got quite cross and irritable. The most trifling effort to •\c;-f myself brought on a feeling of un"laquerahle faintness, and I had to exeris: - great care in all my movements." "Did your nervous system keep up under this strain ?" -'No; 011 the contrary. I became ex> ■essively nervous. At. times I fell into •. heavy do/.e, after tossing about for -ours, and 1 always woke up with a sudden jerk, as though I had come into ■ontact with an electric battery. My nerves were never still, but kept on •wi'-bing and jumping in an alarming manner. My mind was ill at ease, particularly at night, when I had very distorted and ugly imaginations running through my head. Noise of any '-.hid startled me, and set- me trembling ■ie'ent'y. The longer n;y complaint '■v-ted the more my troubles increased." " Surely you did not- have any other lilment, to contend with?" " Believe me, I had. In course of 'ime I suffered greatly with biliousness. I became more drowsy and lifeless than •>ver, and the oppression at. the pit if ir.y stomach was more distressing and L ingling sensations appeared in my drabs. My eyesight was more imper-i'e-t, and I could only see about one■i:df of ail object. The attacks of vomit'•ig were more frequent, and a yellow"h bile was ejected from the stomach. Constipation became very marked, and 1 was never without an unquenchahlo thirst. Coming, as they did, on top -,f the alilietions I have already told yon about, those additions to my suffering drove me into a state of great physical and mental depression." "What iinvtsiires did you adopt to get rid of your (xiniplaint 'i" ■' I resorted to many medicines during my long term of illness, but. not one of them gave me relief until 1 took Clements Tonic. I was going to ice a doctor one day, when T met a neighbour standing at. her garden gate. After sympathising with me for bi«iiif» in such a wretched condition, my friend isked me if I had tried Clements Ton c. I told her I had not, whereupon she advised me to save doctors' expenses and buy some Clemen!;; Tonic at once. This I did, with the most beneficial n«suits. Clements Tonic strengthened sn\ weak stomach, and set my liver and d--gestive organs properly to ivork. My aches and pains wen- quickly relieved by Clements Tonic, which gave me a good appetitie, without suffering d comfort after eating. Headaches, giddiness, and faintness left, nie entirely, and every night I slept soundly. My strength returned, and T was soon able to work cheerfully, without any sign of nervousness. The depressing bilious symptoms have never returned, neither have any of my previous ailments. This shows that Clements Tor.ie effected a thorough cure of my disease, after every other physic failed, and you can publish my testimony in any way you like, to show my deep gratitude."
