Necessity Necessitates A Necessary.
The Case of' Mrs. A. TYLEE. 1 • (by a DUNHOIK EEPOP.TJSK). j The neces ity lor taking action in a prao- j tical way for the essentially practical purpose of striding over all physical obataj clea that bestrew our path is a subject to which subscribers will do we.l to devote their attention, and in that direction a better beginning cannot be made than by reading tiie narrative of Mrs. Agnes Tylee, of Raukielor-street, South Dunedin, ia | which she stated ;
j ‘‘l am now seventy-four years of age, and j have been living in Dunedin more than half I that time, so you may depend that I am 1 acquainted with a good few people here- | abotits, and when a woman arrives at my j age she does not usually gay things just , for the sake of talking. Long experience I teaches us that there is no good in wasting | words over subjects that cannot benefit anvj one, and when I do speak it is generally j with some tangible object in view. This I is a rule with me either iu health or ; iu sickness.”
“ You have had,” said a reporter, “ some experience with the latter, I believe ? ”
I ” Ah, yes ; a full share of it, and once I j was so terribly run down that I felt mysell j all of a droop. I slept but very poorly, and | when I got up in the mornings I always felt i weary ami depressed and bad headaches that ; took away all the pleasures of life. A j heavy feeling in the eyes and a troublesome i dimness of sight were also my portion, and i I had a very b.tter taste in ray mouth, too. ! It was a long time since my appetite was i anything like vigorous, and by degrees it : had dwindled away to nothing, so that I j could not enjoy even the small" quanti’y of ■ food I took. More than that, 1 could not | digest it, and 1 used to suffer terribly with ; wind on the stomach, ami heavy pains in |my chest, ami sharp ones between my i shoulders, like pins sticking into me. 1 was suffering for some considerable time like this when I began to find that my neves : were unhinged. Any little thing could upset me ami cause my nemos to quiver and my mind became im.iv uioomy than ever. Nothing seemed to go right, and the mod simple ihing made me feel irritable. Ail the tune my vitaliiy was wearing away, ami sometimes 1 was so weal; that 1 coul. scared)’ walk the floor.” I “V. ere you receiving treat met ? ” ' 11 I had a doctor, but. bis medicines on'.v eased me for a short while ami then 1 was as ill as ever. I thought that are was against me and that I would never get rid of my ailments. What an awful contemplation that was to be sure ! I shall never j forget how miserable I felt.” ! “B .t it seems that your ideas were wrong ? ” “ So they were, but I did not find out Ihe i truth til! I started taking Clements Tonic, and then ray only regret was that 1 had nostarted on that medicine when mv trouble.began. However, I am intensely ph-ast-d that I took some Clements Tonic when J did, as it not only saved me from gelling worse, but it quite remedied all mv physical defects iu no time. It was a great relief to my mind to feel so comforted undo: , the influence of Clements Tonic, and there is nothing that J know of (and I have bem , in touch with a lot of medicines iu my time) i to equal tie same medicine for toning up ! the nerves and giving perfect relief fr in the i agonies of indigestion. With the banish- ; ment of llio-e melancholy thoughts which had kept my spirits under I felt quite 1 cheerful again, and it was all through tininvigorating qualities of Clements Tonic that so much new life had been planted in my system. The more relief I got from my discomforts the easier it became for me , to sleep, and. oh. how thankful I was to bt ! able to rest the whole nights through I It , was then that life became sweet again, and j in the same way list mv sufferings were left behind, so can others reap the same benefits if they adopt my advice and resort to Clem; ills Tonic, fori know it to be a sure cure for such aliments as mine. Forgiving an appet-tc and building up my enfeebled system Clements Tonic has earned my last- ; iug gratitude, and I shall always advocate its use wherever I go.” : “ Will you have your remarks in the papers ” “ They will do good there, so you may publish them in any way yon like.” I i I STATUTOUY D ECbA RATION. j 5, Ansr.s Tvlek. of llanki W-«-reet.
