The Caao of Mrs. M. BARRETT.

(by a special reporter.) Although this colony is still buoyed up on v Wa,vo of unexampled prosperity it has ■at uablo. lessons to lcaru ou various matters, in instalment being given below by Alra. Mai in Uftrrott, of No, 0 Charlton-avenne, Wellington, whoso remarks to our reporter ivere : — " l ( 'or the greater pari of my life I havo been, a particularly robust und healthy .voman, anil up to four yeara ago P never 'iad anything wrong with mo that I can ramembbr, so you will any that I am a very fortunaxo individual." ' ' " You aro indeed," ejaculatcl the scribe, '• have yon always resided in Wellington ?" " Oil, no. I waa living in ChrUtchurch for thirty yeara, and it was in that city whore I had the only experience with sicisiiesa which fell to myself, and I can tell you in all sincerity that it was a very bitter experianco, too. I really do not think anybody could pasa through worso agony thin [ hud to fight against, und now that I havo provotl to my own satisfaction what is a suro for those troubles. 1 doom it my duty to teach others the lesson I bo luckily learned." " Whcro did you fool tho pain most, Mrs. Uarrett?" " It was in my right arm vrhero the painß were most severe," was tho reply, " right from my shoulder top to my fingers. SomeMines the ana seemed to go quite dead, and fov tho time being I lost the use of it vltogother. There was a feeling as if something was going round aud round in one pan, of my shoulder, ,aud as eacli tura \vas taken my dlatroHS iucrea<io<l. It always vjob woj'se at night when I got. warm ia buil, ifiiL the coniequence was that I could not ■ileep all night long. And what a miserable vrreck I felt myself to bo as each morning came ! no energy to do the work thero was to jo clone, ami so 'frightfully depressed in ifirits that I did not seem to car© for anything. The limb affected by rheumatism jiu'o me tho moat agonising piina with any change of the weather. I always knew when rain was coming or when a northwester was going to blow, for then I was almost distracted with the pains running down my arm. This fluttering wfenfc very hard with me on account of it happening xb a very critical timo in my life— in fact, when that great change takes ploco which happens to ©very woman when a certain ago is reached." "In all probability yon would have quite enough to contend against without haviug rheumatism as w<ll ? '' "My word, I had! for my health was completely broken down. The pains in my head were terribly severe, aud I ha.d such strange attacks of giddiness and flushes ( ls.fi.fc seemed to ta.k<* 3.11 power out of me. R«ally, I used to fed as if I wan actually sinking away whilst those horrible ssnsations wore on, nnd when, alter a while, they were gone again, I remained in positive dread of tho same feelings comii.g on again. In the early part of the day I had a tasto in my mouth like bile, and my tonguo was dry and furred. Every little thing seemed to be contrary to what it ought to havo been, in fact ; my appetite being very poor indeed. Foud time I used to like I did not oari for then, aud it was really amusing how I used to try and coax myself to eat, because I did not believe in giving way so loug as I oould hold out some way or other. But without an appetite the most tempting niorsols were no good to me, and so increased weakness stealthily stole upon mo, My existence was daily becoming more unbearable, for I began to fuller with terriblo pains between the shoi I Jors, and tho aching sensations aMoub my loius wero very tantalising. The climax was put upon my atQictions by my nervous system being completely unhinged. You do. not know what misery this caused mo. All I felt fit

for was to be left quietly to myself, aud na to bo bothered with anybody. Somds tha v, ould pass unuoticod by a person in ' healthy condition were often sufficient c act my nerves all of a shake, and it becam siully apparent that I wanted toning v; altogether. When I saw myself going dow hill so fast I began 'to fret, because, as said before, this' was my first illness, and 5 came as a very severe blow to me, Startin at the lower part of vny neok, tho nios awful pains now shot up over my brain, am sometimes I scarcely knew what 1 ws doing owing to tho agony I was in. lat ' sure I could not have Stood ib all muft longer, and I nolieve I would ha\ie collapse- ' ■ altogether had it not been for Clement' Tonic, ao it is only fair to other sufferei _ that I should put them in the way o gcttirr; bettor when they find themselv? in the same condition as I was in four yea«~ago"' ' "Do you mind telling me how you [ cam 1 to use'CloinoufcslVilc?" - " I "I was advised to use it by a lady wlv * i used to suffer terribly with neuralgia in tlr" | face an?l head, Nob only did sho advise m ' 1 to use Clements Tonic, but I had seen th -* good effects of that medicine upon her wit my own eye 3, and when at last I could no ' bco relief coining to mo in any other way, 1 i began, thank God ! to take Clements TonU Now, I want »to explain to you one thiui very cleaily, aud that' is that I was nd cured all at once. Nothing but a miracJ con\d havo, cfTeofced that, bub Clemen | Tonic did the next best^thing — it cured inof my ailments by degre&B 5 and when I best of so m'au'y peoplo conbhmally eufferiii' y through neglecting to take, tU& right remedi i it makes ma feel dotrbiy thankful thab , 4 commenced wibh the, right medioiiie-whcn ' I did. . It may astonish some^. rheumatl 1 peoplo to know that Clenionts Tonio eon >, plctely removed, that disease from.niy ar< i and shoulder, bul; it is the honest truti 9 .nevertheless. Imagine l«ow delighted I \v« S Vwhcn I notioed (hats thoso horrible torment wero gradually t leaving me ! Why, )ij began to assume a new phase altogether, it beforo many weeks were over 1 was quit a new woman. Tho pains that had racka m^ brain were effectively dealt with b Clements Tonio, and it was surprising \iht a splendid- appetite that remedy gave mi I could feoli that my. vitality was iucreasiu each week. Lut that was only to be expects I cous"iderrn|{ Iliat Clements Tonic had a relciseJ me f torn pain that I had nothing t keep mo f-wakc at nights, besides cnablin mo to digest my food no well thret-*j[n weakened system gained all the uouriai ment from the food that 1 ate." " t " You had also suffeicd from nervoui ness ? " " Yes ; but Cloments Tonio gave wondei fill tone to my nerves, so that trouble w« soon ended, and as ior giddiness nnd tli other r.ilments I had endured, well, there ' nothing like Clements Tonic to euro them and I hope this account of my remarkabl recovery will be the means of helping manj You aro welcome to publish ib in any way.
