A TRIUMPHANT SUCCESS.

The Case of Mrs. A. L. HART.

REMARKABLE EW3OEWCE.

(BY A SPECIAL KEPORTER.) You may as well try to sweep back the flowing tide with a broom as attempt to provont a well-disposed person from speaking out plainly on matters that make for the public good. It simply can't be done iv either case ; of course there is no desire on anybody's part to selGshly hang ou to any information that will benefit the masses, more particularly when it beats upon such an important subject as Mrs. Annie Lydfcv Hait speaks about. The interview took place ac that lady's homo, No. 10 Tonks-grove, Wellington, and is us uudcr : — Reporter: "I believe you are the lady who can give mo some inf tarnation that will be of service to the public. If you aro the same Mrs. Hart who came from Kent to New Zealand many years ago I have not ma.de a. mistake.''* Mrs. Hart: "Neither you have, for I am from Woolwich, and I came out here a good while back. Indeed, it was long before I went under an operation for the removal of a polypus in my head — " "Ah !" ejaculated the scribe, "that is the information I am in search of." "Very well. You are most welcome to it. I was speaking about the operation. Yes ; it was terrible, and when that part was all over I was so regularly run down that I was not fit for anything I felt as if I had all the grit taken out of me, and was so over-sensitive and highly strung that my friends did not know what to do to avoid displeasing me. Sometimes I was to fretful and melancholy that I ' would cry when anybody spoke to me. To put the matter plainly, my system was thoroughly undone. I felt as lauguid as if I had been vi orb ing all my life and had not had a rest for years.' 1 "Perhaps you haS'e had a fair amount of sickness iv your time V /■I have had more than a fair Bliure, I believe, once with an attack of rheumatic [aver, which left my heart in a very weak state, and then again when the operation was performed. That was my worst experience, for I did not seem able to get over it at all. I found it impossible to got my rest at nights, and I suffered from palpitation of the heart so bedly that I was always afraid something -»ox 3 goiiig to happen to me. I could hard'jry raise my head from the pillow some mornings owing to the terrible aching sensations thatafiected me, and my eyes used to feel to swollen, and. have such a peculiar dulness before them, that I could not sec as well as I ought. I turned ri><ht from my food somehow. I*l seemed to all have the same flavor, and that flavor was very disagreeable — just like the taste that was always in my mouth. If I tried to exert myself in the least I soon had to give up, as a giddy feeling would seize mo, and if I did not sit down at once nothing could Utive stopped me from falling. From daylight till dark my life was a burden Nourishment settled ou my chest aud made it hard to breathe, and when it got 10 the stomach it simply fermented. Then the trouble I had with, wind was abominable. Under my shoulder and down my back the pitiless pains extended, and my limbs ached from weakness as if they weie determined that no effort' should be lost to maku my misfortunes complete. I could not sleep for an hour some nights, as I inferred before ; bub when I did sleep my dream.3 were enough to frighten anybody. Another strange thing was that I knew I was jumping in my sleep yet I could not stop myself." "I think that would indicate you were very nervous. 1 ' ♦'My word; so I was. My nerves seemed Jo have broken away from my system as though they did not belong to it. You should have «een mo when I heard «. sound of any description. I would give a nudden jump with fright and my heart

would be in my mouth in a moment. When I looked at tho emaciated condition of my body, my anxiety know no bounds. Indeed, I was continually woirying about something. For hours 1 used to lie and do nothing olsc but think, and the thoughts that entangled my brain were the most unhappy ones that could l>e formed. Often I considered over my afflictions and thought I was condemned to a long, weary period before a merciful relief would end the anguish of my proti acted suffering, as a cure for them seemed out of the question." "How did you Arrive at that conclusion?" "Because I could get 110 iclief from my doctoi'i. Not only djd their medicines fail to comfort or ease me, but I could obtain no 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 mo a little by saying that be knew of something that would do mo good if I would take it — Clements Tonic. I was willing to try anything, so I bought some, and I kept on taking it, although it did not sccin to do cia any good for a while. Later on I commenced to feel a bit brighter during the day, and towards night I used to get sleepy and could get much mare rest than formerly. That was satisfactory, l thought.and I began to feel some coufidence in Clements Tonic, because I was taking my food much more heartily. And I went on like that for a while, picking up my ••trengtfi by degrees, and the pains about my bead were gone, and there wa» every prospect of the other torments going, too, becauf" they had decreased so much already. Aly <iigoilion was decidedly better, for the food did not ferment now, and I could breathe as ft eely as anybody. I was astonishod to find that my heart irregularities were put right by Clement* Tonic, and that glorious remedy was working go well upon my nervoua system all the time that at length I was set free from nervousness altogether. ~\cs ; that i 3 a positive fact. I havo been nursing for the past twenty-seven years, and I have seen too vauch suffering — independent of my own afflictions — to wish to say anything that might powibly mislead a poor mortal who may be in the samo helple«o condition that I was in eighteen years ago, so you can thoroughly rely upon what I say, and that i» — Clements Tonic is the satest and most effective medicine for the kind of ailment* I endured that it has ever been my good fortune to come across, and my experience in such matters has been is very long one. Since it eradicated the disorders that had wrecked my life, and placed my health on a sound footing again, I have nad implicit confidence in Clements Toii'c ; so much so, in fact, that I recommend its use to any of my friends who happen to bo sick, and not one instance has cropped up where the results have net boen perfectly satisfactory. " " So your faith still remains unshaken." " And will to my dying day, for Clements Tonic made life a blessing to me, and you can publish every word I've said in any form it pleases you." OTATDTORY DECLARATION.
