WELLINGTON TRIBUTE,

WORTH ATTENTIONThe Case of Mrs. B. RODERICK. (BY A WELLINGTON RIPORTEB.) In an interesting conversation with out reporter, Mrs. Blanche Roderick, of No. 29 Thomp3on-street, Wellington gave some important information with regard to a nutter which is entitled to the leader's attention. She said : " It has been my unhappy lot to suffer f rem a complaint that seems tp vi»it every home at some time or other, but I believe my case was more sevare than a good many, bscause I could not get rid of it for years. For one thing, I could not lecure a fair ■hare of sleo'p at nights. That lack of rest, of course, affected me to a great degree, aad I grew pale and weak, and my aerves were completely gone. If I went out info the »treet or into a room I felt that I would rather hay« somebody to accompany me, and at times I was so nervous that I was i almost afraid to move. Of course, I got' to sleep sometimes, for nature could not hold out under the strain of continual wakefulvest, but it was never any good to me. Often I woke up with a start and could feel myself trembling all over, while the thoughts that ran through my mind were really terrible." " Were you living in this neighbourhood then t" enquired the pressmnn. l: No," replied M«. Roderick, "I was residing in Auckland at the time, which is now four years ago No .tongue can tell the agony I went through with the pains in my back. It was quite a common thing for me to have to lie down simply because thoio pains rendered me powerless to stand on my leeb, and the very mention of headaches makes me shudder at tho thought of those I had myself. Any food that 1 took— and I can assure you it was only very little at a time— seemed to form in a lump and itayon my che3t, and, I am sure, ie would eurpriau you to know bow difficult it was to get my breath. A dull paiu went from the chest right through to the ihoulders, and I had aching (enactions about my loins as well." "You were having a very unpleasant time of it, Mrs. Roderick." " That I was, for I could not walk a few yard's down the road some days before a giddy fetliug would come over me, and I kept getting so weak that I could not hold up very long before I was perfectly exhausted. Black specks used to get befon my cyet, nod lisuew at once that another of those giddy tnrna was coming on. Tn fact, I appeared t>> be in constant dread of tomething or other, and the thought that I ■would never get properly cured was always worrying me. My eyes- felt twice their ordinary size sometimes, and such a heavy, misty feeling in them, too, while the coat i up over my tongue seemed to impart- a bittei taste to my mouth that made all food seen* , *like. Such suffering as mine makes outwoider what Uiere is in life after all; bul tho time came when those morbid thoughtbail vanished." "When was 'that?" interrupted Hie writer " After a few bottlc3 of Clements Tenichad bseti taken, for then I felt quite a different woman. But, before that, I wa« a perfect wreck, and had been in bed over a week ; for f was not able to get about at all You should have seen, the difference that Clement* Tonic made, though, and it was fcheonly medicmo out of the whole lob that I had taken which did me any good. Shalt I ever forget the relief to my mind when I riiicoverecl that Clement* Tonic was really curing me? It settned incredible after everything else having failed, bub, sure onoti'gh, ie was a fact;, i became rettful a! nights, my nerves were toon strong, and I started to'eat as though nothing had beet wrong with me. I was very io»n up »nu about again, thanks to Clements Tonic : bul I musLadmir,* it Wok a little time to brinj me inunil to a perfect state of health. Nevertheless, I was gaining every doy Headache* went, the pains about my chcn and shoulderl'uni back went, so did tiie bitter taste of a morning, and my digeitiou was getting splendid in the meantime." " Did it get right in the end, though ?" 11 Mo»t thankful I am to gay ' Ye»,' for Clement! Tonic remedied each of my afflictien3, and you can publish the f»cts I have mentioned in any way that will bring them before the public."
