Timed and Tried. WEIGHED AND NOT FOUND WAITING. A Story for Sceptical Minds. The Case of Mrs. J. RENNIE. (A SPECIAL, INVESTIGATION). When all ia said and done, there is" only one sure way ol finding life delightful, and that is by being helpful. This may, in a sense, be looked on as a selfish maxim, but it is a kind of selfishness which would benefit the world if there were a little more of it, especially when the efforts to assist the seedy hear reference to such important natters as are spoken of by Mrs. Nano Rennie, of No. 192 Cumberland Street, Dunedin. “ A little more than two years ago,” :em rked that lady, “I wis in such a ielicatc state of health tin 11 had to go to a lospital. I folt so dreadfully ill that I jutertaiued grave clou ts as to what the lear future would bring, and I am sure I night to be very thankful for being alive ind in such good health to-day,” “ Did the doctors say what was wrong sdth yon ? ” enquired fche pressman who had jeen instructed to enquire into this hiatter, “ They s id t was my liver that was out of irder and that I had indigestion in a very bad iorm. I knew that much myself, for I had inch a heavy feeling in my chest that I had ;o fairly gasp for breath, and sometimes the pains in that part were so acute that I had io squeeze my chest with both hands to try io suppress them. Right clown here, too,” laid Mrs. Rennie, drawing her hand along ihe right side, “ I had the most excruciating egonies that a' suffering woman could itruggle against, and when I had taken any :ood the pains in ,my stomach were so great that I could hardly endure them. It felt as though 1 were chock full of wind that could aot escape, and until it was belched away ;ho torture I had to put up with was jadeacribable. Before I took ill myself I aad dften heard people talking about inJigeslion, and I used to think it could not oe half so bad as they tried to make out; out I know how terrible it is now and I would like to aid those who arc suffering in she same way to get rid of it. If I took a irink of watOr or a cup of tea I had a tensasion in my Stomach;as if the liquid was going aver a .big stone. The loss of my appetite was another of my misfortunes, but I was ietermiued not to starve, so I used to make myself eat, yet I did not gain anything by doing so, as I invariably had to go out into ihe yard and vomit everything up again. Dh ! it was pitiful to see how weak I got, with no color in my face and no ambition or desire to do anything. For all the good I was I might just as well have been out of sho world altogether, and in one way it would have been better so, for then I would save been free from the agonies that were making me a complete wreck. Across my orehead I was afflicted with pains that ieemed to affect my sight, and in my eyes :here w s a feeling as if they were too large ’or their sockets. I used to put vinegar and vater cloths to my head to see if they would give mo ease ; but whatever relief I jot did not last long, and after the brief •espite the pains seeiped to get ten times worse. My doctor advised me to put some 'pirits on a cloth and then apply to my sead, but it was all useless. There was sothing in the way of medicine which could jive me the least help against my afflictions, -nd so I went on until I was nearly driven o despair. If I closed my eyes for a jjomenv when I opened them I could see i,nail black specks dancing all round, and I ised to get so giddy that 1 had to hold on to .nything handy and call out for some one io bring me a chair, t 1 got so feeble that I elt as if I could just lie down and never : jollier about getting up again. ” “ How did you rest at nights? ” “ I got veiy little indeed, for I was tosgjn| ! about most of the timet- then I got up au« ; hnd a drink of water now and again, am 1 tried all sorts.of tliin-s to get to sleep, bu it ua no. use. Some nights I dozed awftj before twelve o’clock, but then I hac ten ifying dreams, and when I awoke I wai filled with dreadful thoughts which madi i me shake with fear. Owing to my nervoui ! condition my mind was terribly distressed, I fancied I could see people at my windov and hear voices in my room, and when 1 could stand the awful suspense no longei I called out ‘V\ ho’s there?’ It all seemed so real, I hav.O/got up at four o’clock in tin morning and walked outside because I ■ ould not sleep, so you can see what a miaerabli existence 1 had. If a spoon fell to the floo> my nerves fairly jumped again, and I had a lot of bother with my heart, which wai given to palpitating so violently that I used to got quite scared.” “You are a fortunate woman to have recovered as well as your.appearance indi cates. ‘How did you manage it?” “ t lements Tonic managed everything fox me, thank God ! even when I was in such a hopeless condition as I have described t« you. Yes; you may well look surprised but that is a faot lam telling you. Mj daughter brought mo a, bottle of Clement.' Tonic, and when I saw it I said: ‘Whal kind of rubbish is this you have got me?’ (many sceptics talk like this—but a trial changes the tune. —Ed.) But 1 know tht worth of Clements Tonic now, for I tooli that bottle and then kept on with the same medicine till I was like one born again. 1 n member how joyful I was when Clementi Tonic began to give me the first real rfeliel from head pains that I had yet experienced, for they kept on getting less and less til' tl ey finally disappeared, and when the pains in my stomach and side had gone I seemed to be living in a different world altogether. It was not one of sorrow and suffering as if had been before I started on Clements Tonic, but a world of peace and happiness? Of course, I am speaking of the I ime when that remedy had got properly to work on my system and hail cured my nervousness, and when I could eat, and sleep right through each night and not have a dream of any sort. It was a wonder to me that anything could put my digestive organs right when they were in such a bad state, but nothing seemed too much for Clements Tonic to do, as it succeeded in doing everything that was required, even to stopping my heart'from palpitating and giving me more strength J)h sn I had known for a long time. The work that I had so often to put off from day to day owing to my feebleness again became a p casure to me, and I look upon Clements Tonic as a blessing sent from. Heaven for the purpose of restoring my health.” “ Have you any objection to your statements being made public ?” “None whatever. You may publish them in any form you please,” STATUTORY DECLARATION.
