INFLUENZA I ACHED With a Weary Weakness A Prompt and Sure Relief. The Case of Kiss ffl. L. KNIPE. (By a Bivff Reporter.) Immense crowds of visitors streame< into the important towns of Now iiea land to witness the festivities inougnr ated for the purpose of couimeinoratm. the close of the nineteenth century Among the arrivals of the folks from the country was Miss Marianne Louis. Knipe, whose home is at Clifton, abou lour miles from Invercargiil. Speaking: to a reporter Miss Knipe said, in answei to the usual '"How are you?" "Very well, thank you. But yoi should have seen mo this time last year. I was quite unfit to indulge in the usua. Christmas gaieties. The reason is easily explained, for my health was wretched the first ailment was an attack of ineas les, which left me very low and weak Whilst suffering from this complain! I was so restless that I eonid not kee]. still a minute. I was always walking from one room to another, and at las I caught a dreadful cold, which turnec to influenza. I was suddenly attackeei with chilliness, quickly followed b; flashes of- intense heat. My~cor limbached with a weary weakness that quit*' prostrated mc. If I tried t© stand ur. my legs commenced to tremble, am' then they gave way as involuntarily a though nW knees had been struck fvo<: behind. I was troubled with an agomsing headache, besides suffeiing from a feverish thirst, and accompanied by an alarming elevation of my temperature. A most distressing cough also added Co my sufferings, a circumstance which occasioned a great amount of expectoration. My heart also showed signs of weakness, especially after the exertion of coughing, when it fluttered very rapidly and caused me many an anxious thought." , " Were you able to render any domestic assifltajice, Miss Knipe ?" «li As long*as_l was able to- stand up f ejid a kttjo housework; was soon obliged to lie up in bed, and for five flays I was just a helpless invalid, being triable to do anything for myself. I did sot soem to have enough strength to sneeze, for although I always wanted to I could never succeed. All I could do was to go through the preliminary facial contortions connected with sneef ing, and then it would end with a cold, miserable shudder. My eyes were inflamed aud watery, with a burning ache behind them 1 which had the effect of making me feel giddy when I looked at any reading matter/ The colour of my tongue was about white, while not the least of my troubles was a total loss of appetite. When I even looked at tfood a feeling of sickness came over me, and as I Rank low'er and lower I lost my usual disposition to be cheerful, besides having tormenting notions in my head which i pt Die awake at night. From the want of nourishment my body became as thin as a post, comparatively speaking, for I wa fairly stout before my sickness re bled me of my robust appearance. There was a feeling in my chest as though a heavy weight was pressing the breathiig valves together and preventing re piration. I never .dreamt that influenza is such i dangerous disea.f* as it is, and I am very thankful ih.it I got over it so well. There was one period of my illness when I was quite discouraged ami disheartened owing to the plivsic T bad taken failing ta afford relief, but f was afterwards told that Clements Tonic had oured a friend of mine of influenza, so I tried it myself." " Did Clements Tonic fit your requirements V* *• Yes, in every re~p<-ot. After taking a few doses of Cements Tonic I wai able to eat a little, and after fasting so long I was glad my appetite reappeared A rapid change followed. My head ce-:-jßd aching, and the racking pains in m bddy were hunted away by Clements Touio7 and at the same time my food had a nourishing and sustaining effect on me. This was borne out by a daily increase in flesh and strength, the influenza symptoms meanwhile vanishing Clements Tonic inv:go:ated me wonderfully, and since mv complaint was cur a I have not required a dose of physir of any sort.-" "With your permission I will report this.''
