A TRIUMPHANT SUCCESS

REMARKABLE ~ EVIDENCE.

The Case of Mrs. A. L. HART. (Br A SPECIAL KEFOnTEB.) You may as well try to sweep buck 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 good. Ib simply can'b be done in cither case ; of course there is no desira on anybody's part to selfishly hang on to any information that will benefit' _ the masses, more particularly when it bears upon such an important subject as J>lrs* Annie Lydia Hart apeaks about. ; The interview took place at; that lady's homo, No. 10 Tonks-grove, Wellington, Mid is as under : — Reporter: "I believe you aro the lady who can give me some information that will be of service to the public. 1-f you are the same Mrs. Hivrt who came from Kent to New Zealand many years ago I have not - niiidc a mistake. " Mrs. Hart: " Neithrr you have, for I am from Woolwich, and I came out here a good whilo back. Indeed, it was long before I went under an "Tieratioii for tho removal of a polypus in my head — " " Ah !" ejaculated the scribe, "that is the information I am in search of." "Very well. You are nioit welcome to it. I was speaking about tho operation. Yea ; it was terribic, and when that part was all over I was so regularLy run down that I WiiH not. lit 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 av«id displeasing me. Sometimes I was so fretful and niekneholy that I would cry when anybody spoke to me. To put tho matter plainly, my system was thoroughly undone. 1 felt as languid as if 1 had been working all my life and had not hid a rest for years. " " Ptrliaps you havo had a fair amount of sickness in your timo ?' •1 have had nioic than a fair share, I believe, once with au attack of rheumatic fever, wiwl-Ii left my. luart in a very weak ulato, and then a<>iiin when the operation whs pei formed. Thai was -my worst experience, for I did not seem ablo to get over it at all. I found it impossible to got iuv rest at nights, '.'md J suffered from palpitation of "the hc.uL so badly that I was alwn'v3,.ifraid something was goiag to happen to me. 1 could hardly raise my howl from the pillow some mornings owing to the terrible aching scnsation3 LhatalYected me, and my eyes used to feel so swollen, and have such a peculiar dulness before them, that I could not face (.swell as I ought. I turned rijjht from my food somehow. 1". secmcil to all have the Mine flavor, and Bhtifc flavor was very disagreeable— just like iho tasto that was always in my n.outb. If 1 iricvl to exert myself in tho least 1 soon had to give up, as a. giddy feeling would seize me, and it I did not sit down' at unce'uothiug could have stopped :ne from falling. Krom daylight till dark my life wa» a burden Nourishment settled on my chest and mado it haicl to breathe, and when it got 10 the stomach it simply fermented.' Then the tumble I had with wind «as abominable. Under my shouWera mill ilown my back the p.rUess >»&;»■= cxto«dcil, anil my* limbs !ie!u-d from weakness us if they wet'- determined that no effort should bo lost to m:di«'tny misfortunes complete!. I could not sleep for an hour some nights, an I inferrotl before; but when I did sleep my dreams were enough to frighten anybody. Another strange thing wus that I knew 1 was jumping in my sleep yet I could not stop myselt.", "I think that would indicate you were very nervous.'' , "My word 1 so I was. My nerves seemed to have broken uway from Iny .svßlem as though they did not belong to it. You should have acun mo whon I heacd a sound of any description. I would givo a sudden jump with fright and my heart

would be in my mouth in a moment When I looked at the emaciated condition of my body, my anxiety knew no bounds Indeed, I was continually worrying abou! something. For hours I used to lie and do nothing else but think, and the thought! that entangled my brain were the most unhappy ones that could bf formed. Oftet I considered over my afflictions aud thought, I was condemned to a long, wcacy period before a merciful relief would end tho Anguish of my protracted suffering", as a cure for them seeined~out of the question." " How did you arrive at that conclusion ? " "Because I could get no relief from my doctors. Not only did their medicines fail to comfort or ease me, but I could obtain no benefit from any of tho patent medicines I' tried, and I must have patronised the lott of them. T thought my fate was sealed, but a chemist eventually cheered me a littla by saying that he knew of something than would do me good if I would take itClements Tonic. I was willing to try any-thing,-so I bought some, and I kopt on, taking it, although it did not seem to do me any good, for a while. Later on I commenced to feel a bitbrighter during the day, ami towards night I used to get sleepy and could^get much more rest than formerly. That was satisfactory, l thonghc,aud I began to feel some confidence in Clemeuts Tonic, because I Wiis taking my food much more heartily. . And I went on like that for a while, picking up my ftrongth by degroos, ami the pains about my head were goua, and there was every prospect of the other torments going, too, becau»» thoy had decreased so much 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 wero put right by Clements Tonic, and that glorious remedy was working so well upon my nervous system all the timo that at length I -was set fr«e_from nervousness altogether. Tes ; that is a positivo 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 tho same helpless condition that I was in eighteen years i ago,, so you can thoroughly rely upon what X say, and that is — Clements Tonic is tha safest and most efT«elive medicine for the kind of ailments I endured that it hns ever been my good fortune. to conies across, and my oxperience'in such matters has been a very long one. ' Since it eradicated the dis- ' orders that hntl wrecked my life, and placed my health on a sound footiu'; ngain, I have had implicit confidence in Clemtnti Ton c ; so much so, in fact, that I 'recommend its use Lo any of my frienns who happen to bo sick, aud not one instance has cropped up where the resalt3 ha.ye not boen. perfectly satisfactory." , •J' So your faith still remains unshaken." " And will to my dying day, for Clements Tonic made lifo a* blessing to mo, and you can publish every wortlj.'ve said ia. any form it pleases you."
