A TRIUMPHANT SUCCESS

REMARKABLE EVIDENCE.

The Case of folrs. A. L. HART. (by a special bepostbe.) You may as well try to sweep back the flowing tide with a broom as attempt to prevent a well-disposed person from speaking out plainly on matters that make for the public gocd. It simply can't be dove in cither case ; of course there is no desiro on anybody's part to selfishly hang on to aiiyj information that will benefit the masses, more particularly when it bears upon such an important subject as Mrs. Annie Lydia Hart speaks about. The interview took place at that lady's home, No. 10 Tonks-grovc, Wellington, and is as under : — Reporter : " I believe you are tho lady who can give* me soii.o information that will he of service to the public. If you aro the same Mrs. Hart who came from^Kent to New Zealand muny years ago I have not made a mistake." Mrs. Hurt: "Neithsr you have, for lam from Woelwich, and I came out here a good while back. Indeed, it Was long before I went undir an' operation fer the removal of a polypus in my head — " "Ah !" ejaculated the scribe, "thfct is the information I am in search of." "Very well. You are most \ welcome to it. I was speaking about the operation. Yes ; it wivs terrible, and when that part was all over I was so regularly run down that I Avas net fit for nuyihing. I felt as if I'had all the grit taken out of me, and was so over-sensitive ami highly struDg that my friends did not know what to do to avoid displeasing me. Sometimes I was so fretful and melancholy that I would cry when auybedy spoke to me. To put tho matter plainly, my system was thoroughly undone. I felt as languid as if I had been working all my life and had not had a rest for years." " Perhaps you have had a fair amount of sickness in your time ?u? v "•I have had more than a fair share, I believe, once with an attack of rheumatic fever, which left my heart in a very weak atate, and then again whon the operation was performed. That was my worst experience, for I did net seem able to get over it at all. I found it impossible to get my rest at nights, and I suffered from palpitation of the heart so badly that I was always afraid something' was going to happen to me. I could hardly ruise my head from the pillow some mornings awing to thcterrrWe aching sensations thataffected me, and my eyes used to feel so swollen, and have such a poculiar dulness beforo them, that I could not sc« as well as I ought. I turned ri^ht fr«m my food ssmehovr. Iseemed to all have the same flavor, and that flavor was very disagreeable— just like tho tasto th&t was always in my mouth. If 1 tried to exert mysolf in the leant I soon had to give up, as a giddy feeling would seize me, and if I did not sit down at once nothing could have stepped me from falling. From daylight till dark my life wa* a burden Nourishment settled on my chest and made it hard to breathe, and when it got io the stomach it simply fermented. Then the trouble I had with v\ md v as aboin inable. Under my shoulders and down my back the pitiless ptins extended, and my limbs ached from weakness as if they were determined that no effort should be lost to make my misfortunes ■ complete. I could not sleep for an hour some nights, a» I inferred before ; but when I did sleep my dreams were enough to frighten anybody. Another strauge thing ' wns that I knew I was jumping in my sleep yet I could not stop myself." "I think that would indicate you were very nervous.'" "My word : so I was. My nerves seemed io have broken away from my system as though they did not belong to it. You should have seen mo when I heard a sound of any description. I would give a aadijen jv\n>j> with fright and my heart

would be in my mouth in' a momentfc • When I looked at the emaciated condition of my body, my anxiety know no bounds. Indeed, I was continually vrorryiug about something. For hours 1 used to lie and do nothing clss but think, and the thoughts that entangled my brain were the moat unhappy ones that could lie formed. Often I considered over my afflictions and thought I was condemned to a long, Weary period before a merciful relief would end the nuguish of my protracted suffering, as a cure far them scorned out of the question." " How did you arrive at that conclusion!? " Because I could get uo relief from my doctor*. Nob only did their medicines fail to comfort or ease me, but I could obtain na benefit from any of the patent medicines I tried, and I must have patronised the lot of them. I thought my fate was sealed, but a chemist eventually cheered me a little by saying that he knew- of something thaV would do me good if I would take itClements Tonic. I 'was willing to try any. thing, so I bought some, -and I kept oa talcing it, although it did not seem to do mt n »y ' good for a while. Later on I commenced to feel a bilhrightor during the day, and towards night I used to get sleepy andcould get much more re«t tlian formerly.'' That was satisfactory, l thonght,and I fctegeug. to feel some confidence in Clomcnts Tonic* because I was taking my food much more heartily. And I went on like that for » whilt, picking up my ctrength by degrees, and the pains about my head were gont, and these was every prospect of the other tOrments going, too, becau»» they had decreased so mlich already. My digestion was decidedly better, for the food did not ferment now, and I could breathe as freely as anybody. I was astonished to find that my heart irregularities were put right by Clements Tonic, and that glerious rem«dy was working so well upon my nervous system all the time that at length I was set free from nervousness altogether. r Jes , that is a positive fact. I have- been nursing for the past twenty-seven years, and I have seen too much suffering — independent of my own afflictions— to wish to say anything that might possibly mislead a poor mortal who may be in the sama helpfasr condition that I was in eighteen years aijo, so you fcan thoroughly rely upon what I siy, and* that is— Clements Tonic is tht safest and meat effective medicine for the kind of ailments I endured that it has ever bten my good fortune to come across, and my experience in such matters has been * very longonc. Since it erad-cated the dis. orders that had wrecked my life, and placed my health on a sound footine again I have had implicit confidence m Clement* Ton c ; so much so, in 1 faot, that I recommend its use to any of my friends wha happen to be siuW, and not one instance has cropped up where the results have not been perfectly satisfactory." " So your faith still remains unshaken.*" "And will to my dying day, f o » Clements Tonic made life a blessing to me and you can publish every word Ire said ie any form it pleases you."
