FSEW PROOFS EVERY DAY. A RECORD OF SUCCESS.

The Caso of «flrs. m. BARRETT. $3* A SPECIAL REPORTER.) —ornough this colony is still buoyed up on & wave of unexampled prosperity it has valuable l#ssona to learn on various matters, %n instalment being given below by Mrs. Maria Barrett, of tfo. 6 Charl ton-avenue, Wellington, whose remarks to our reporter wore : — "For the greater part of my. life I have been a particularly robust and healthy woman, ami \ip lo four years ago I never Wad anything wrong with me that I can remember, so you will say that I am a. very fortunate-individual." " You are indeed," ejaculated the scribe, '* have you always resided in Wellington ? " " Oh, no. I was living in Christchurch for thirty years, and it was in that city *vher« I had the only experience with sickties* whicli fell to myself, and I can tell you In all sincerity that it was a very bitter experience, too. I really do not think anybody could pass through worse agony than [ had to fight against, uirl now that I have proved to my own satisfaction what is a sure for those troubles, 1 deem it my duty to touch others the lesson I so luckily learned." " Where did you feel the pain most, Mrs. Uarrett?" 11 It was in my right aim where the pains were most severe," was the reply, " right from my shoulder top to my fit.gers. Sometimes the arm seemed to go quite dead, and for the time being I lost the use of it altogether. There was a feeling as if something was going round and round in one part of my shoulder, and as each turn was taken my distress increased. It always got worse at night when I got warm in bed, iwd the consequence was that I could not •leop all night long. Ami what a miserable wreck I felt myself to be as each morning came ! no euer^y to do the work thero was to \>« done, and so frightfully depressed in ipirits that I did not seem to care for Anything. The limb affected by rheumatism gave me the most agonising pains with any diange of the weather. I always kne»v when rain w*» coming or when a northwester w»s going to blow, for thon I was almost distracted with the pains running lown my arm. This suffering went very hard with me on account of it happening nt a rcry critical time in my life— in fact, wheu that great change takes place which happens to every woman when a certain age ii reached." " In all probability you would have quite enough to contend against without haviug rheumatism as well ? " "My word, I had ! for my health was jompletely broken down. The pains in my head were terribly severe, and I had auch strange attacks of giddiness and Hushes that seemed to take all power out of me. Really, I ufied to feel a* if I was actually sinking away whilst these horrible sensations were on, and when, after a while, they were gone again, I remained in positive dread of the same feelings coming on again. In the early part of the day I had a tast* in my mouth like bile, and my tongue was dry and furred. Every little thing seemed to be contrary to what it ought to have been, in fact ; mv appetite being very poor indeed. Food that I used to like I did not care for then, and it was really amusing how I used to try and coax myself to eat, because I did not believe in giving way so long a? I could hold out some way or other. But without an appetite the most tempting morsels were no good to me, and so increased weakness stealthily stole upon me. My existence was daily becoming more unbearable, for I began to suffer with terrible ' pains between the shoulders, and the aching sensations about my loins wero very tantalising, i. The climax was put upon my afflictions by my nervous system being completely unhinged. Yon do uot know what nrieery this caused me. AH I felt fib

for was to be left quietly to myself, and nftfc to be bothered with anybody. Sounds th** would pass unnoticed by ,» person in • healthy condition were often sufficient c<» eet my nerves all of a shake, and it became sadly apparent that 1 wanted toning up» altogether. When I saw myself going dovii* hill so fast I began to fret, because, as X sakt before, this was my fir3fc illness, and ill came as a very severe blow to me. Starting at the lower part cf ray neck, the moss awful pains now shot up over my brain, and sometimes I scarcely knew what I wa«doing owing to the agony I was in. I a:t» sure I could not have stood it all much longer, and I believe I would have collapsed altogether had it not been for Clements Tonic, so it is only fair to other sufferer* that I should put them in the way of' getting better when they find themselves in the same condition as I was in four years ago " " Do you mind telling me how you cams to use Clements Tonic ? " " I was advised to use it by a lady who used to suffer terribly with neuralgia in tha face and head. Not only did she advis© ni» to use Clements Tonic, but I had seen tha good effects of that medicine upon her with my own eyes, and when at last I could noli see relief coming to me in any other way, I began, thank God ! to take Ciements Tonic. Now, I want to explain to you one thing very dourly, and that is that I was uot cured all at once. Nothing but a miracle could have effected that, but Clements Tonic did the next best thing—it cured uib of my ailments by degrees ; and v/hen I hear of so many people continually suffering through neglecting to take the right remedy, it makes me feel doubly iliankful that I commenced with the right medicine when I. did. It may astonish some rheumatic people to know that Clements Tonic completely removed that disease from my arm ami shoulder, but -^ is the honest truth nevertheless. Imagine how delighted I waa when I noticed that those horrible toi-meats were gradually leaving me! Whj f, )ifo began to assume a new phase altogether, for before many weeks were over 1 wa3 quite a new woman. The pains that had racked my brain were effectively dealt with by Clements Tonic, and it was surprising what a splendid appetite that remedy gave me. I could feel that my vitality was increasing each week, but that was only to be expected considering that Clements Tunic had so released me from pain that I had nothing to keep me awake at nights, besides enabling me to digest my food so well that my weakened system gained all the nourishment from the food that I ate." «.. " You had also suffered from nervous* ness?" " Yes ; but Clements Tonic gave wonderful tone to my nerves, so that trouble was soon ended, and as for giddines3 nnd the other ailments I had endured, well, there is nothing like Ciements Tonic to cure them ; and I hope this account of my remarkable recovery will be the means of helping many. You are welcome to publish it in any way."
