Yh© Case O-f iV;rs. S. M. QARBEO. (by a special bktorter.) Having been in business in Cuba-street for twenty years, Airs Surah Moraitl Garbes, who is now living at 12 Kuigfl Avenue, Wellington, is widely known and generally respected. To a reporter who recently cal'ed at the above adddreßS, Mrs. Uarbes said : " Your vi«t lias saved me the trouble ol writing, which I certainly intended doing. Yes ; you may know all about my illness, which waa very distressing whilst it lasted." " In what way were you affected ? " "I could not eat my food at all well. Agonising darting paii.s came between my slioulderß and in my stomach. Terrible vick headaches attacked me, frequently being so bad that I c uld not raise my head up the whole day long. After walking about a little distance I felt fatigued and giddy. At night I was very restless in bed, brief periods of sleep at long intervals always being attended with dreadful dreams. During the day I felt drowsy and despondent, as though I had nothing to live for. I had a continual bad taste and a coated tongue. My eyes felt heavy and swollen, and sometimes felt as though they were burning wiihin. My complaint got worse as time went on. Soon I was prostrated with weakness." " What were you taking for your ailments ? ". • " I tried everything that was recommended by my friends ; but I only got worse. Each medicine 1 gave about a mouth's trial, all to no purpose. At last I struck the r ; ght thing. A bo>k was placed iu my hand one day by one who thought I might read it with advantage to mysolf. After reading several testimonials about people having beeu cured of various complaiuts by Clements Tonic, I thought it must be a good thing. I bought some, and felt that I had a chance of regaining my health after neveral doses. Clements Tonic Btoppcd my t. /nnenting headaches very quickly, besides making me sleep soundly. My appetite came back, and in a week or so I h*d do figns of indigestion. The; pains departed from my shouders, and I felt better and brighter in every way. Clements Tonio mot all the requirements of my enfeebled roiislitution, which was built up to pett'eotion. I went about my duties with as much Btrength and activity oo 'ever, and from the day that Clements Tonic cured me till now I have enjoyed the lieat of robust health. If anybody' in our family feels a trifle indisposed we always fly to Clements Tonic. We have reason to rely upon It so confidently." " Do you mind telling me why so ? " "Not at all. lam only too thankful to be able to say that my eldest daughter's lifo was saved, by Clements Tonic. She w»s suffering from typhoid fever, thrte doctors having been in attendance. My daughter had one foot in the grave. The doctors said there was no hope lor her. The verdict was pronounced one Sunday morning, and we were all in a terrible state of anguitth.® My husljand aud I did not know what to do ; but it occurred to rae what a remarkable recovery I had made through Clements Tonic. Against my husband's wish I- gave her a. dune of Clement Tonic as she lay unconscious. In an hour's time I thought she looked a little brighter, and an hour later 1 gave her another dose. She gradually improved, so I put the doctor's medicine aside altogether. A medical man came next day, and on catching sight of my girl he stood in amazement on the threshold of the door, saying, ' Well, well, that girl atili. alive ! I th tight I wa« coining to see her laid out. Whatever have you given her'" I did not tell him; but kept on f jiving Clements Tonic without Lis knowedge. A week later vre carried her down stairs, and tlnee days afterwards we toote her out driving. Thus my daughter continued to advance till she was made Bound and strong by Clements Tonic. Another of my girls suffered from poorness of blood and debility. Her blood turned to water, and she wa< too vve.de to walk. Clements Tonio cured h<?r, and also one of my boys, who had inflammation of the bowels." "Shall I give your evidence to tto public ?" " Certainly fch-y ought to know the value of Clements Tonic. For tlint reason you may publish in any way my statements.' STATUTORY DFXILARATTON. I, Sa»ah MoaiiTt GAjmirs, of 1!
