"TO© T©rtur©s . ar&d Miseries of The Case of Mrs. E. LUNN. (BY A WELLINGTON BEPORTBB.) Instructions were received by our reporter > i institute inquiries into a. matter concern ig which it was necessary, to interview *«lrs. Emma Lunn, of No. 11 Brook-street Thornton, Wellington. " You have had a very bitter exporienci lately, lam told," said'the writer. " May I encroach upon your kindness for the •details?" s " Most willingly. Of course you mean my ' illneas, and you wish to know, I suppose, how I recovered. Quite a number of people have asked me the same question, 'aud 'although I have related the facts over and over again, I feel myself under such'a great obligation for the blessing of my present good health that I am always ready to'impart the secret .of my recovery for the consideration of suffering humanity. To begin with, I may tell you that I suffered terribly with indigestion about twelve months ago. Everything I ate went wrong in my stomach, creating insufferable discomfort and pain. Even a piece of toast caused intense agony in mystomach, where it lay like a heavy", solid lump of clay. My chest felt compressed and uncomfortable, aud I could not breathe without feeling sharp pains " every time I drew my breath. Very often' I was troubled with spasms of wind which emanated from the sour, undigested food, and then succeeded _ period of anxiety and torture. My heart used to palpitate to a frightful extent, ma-king me fear that it was diseased. A feeling as though some sharp instruments were being pressed between my shoulders came on, and there was a dull sickly pain at the bottom of my ribs. All day I felt drowsy and fatigued, as though I had beon working hard for % week without any sleep, whereas, as a matter of fact, I could not work at all. " <~ '• Did your complaint really affect you so badly as that ? " " Yes, it is perfectly true, I was so exhausted and run down that I had no energy left. I lost as much vitality through slce|>lessness.as from any other cause. Indeed, I was often on the verge of collscpse'for the want of sleep. AfteF - turning ab»ut all night in bodily pain and tnental worry I used to get up like one rising from the grave. My limbs ached from head to foot, and as soon as I started to move about I felt dazed and giddy. As my complaint tightened its grasp • upon niy debilitated system the more weak and* miserable I became, and I now never felt the least sensation of hunger. I had long since lost all colour, my face now being thin and agedlooking. My tongue was moist with an offensiv. coating, the bitter taste of which was always in my mouth. The great strain upon my shattered constitution seriously affected my nerves. At one time, before my- illness, I could face anything without fear, but now I was so nervous that I disliked being by myself in the house. Right from tho commaaceuieut _of my distressing illness r suffered daily from blinding headaches. Intense agony shot up to the top of my head, making it impossible to think of anything excepting the frigh-tful agony I was in. There was not a moment's peace for me in life, *nd when I had been struggling hopelessly on with my doctor's ' medicines for many months I fell into a state of melancholy and dispair. I did not expact to regain my health by any other means af cer the failure of my doctor to oven give slight relief." " But you did get befcLar. How did it happen ? " . '. ■ . "^^--ijady }Kry~_d ___cTrr[ 'hz~A d?biliby for yeaTST' and was -cured by Clements Tonic, heard about my sufferings and called to see me. She told me that Cleinonts Tonic was bound to cure me if I would give it a trial. I did so, and th,at accounts for niy oreaeDt good health. I was an utter wreck, but Clements Tonic welded my broken fragments of health together by restoriug mv Kver to proper working order, and my digestive organs w«re soon made perfect. Cloment Tonic drove away my pains, gave me an .appetite, and peaceful Bleep. In a Bhort while Clements Tonic had mastered my complaint, and I have not been 111 Bince.
