ANOTHER DUNEDIN DYSPEPTIC FINDS I A REMEDY. The Case cH Mrs. L. SCOTT. | (/>’// t( Luca. Mrs. 1 muisa Scott. of 38 St. David- I street, Dunedin, alt bough in the midst of preparation for Hie appro:., lung festivities of Christmas and New Year when our reporter calittl, sard site was always prepared To devote an hour or two in discussing the details of her exceptional experience. “ i hear that you underwent a great change some months ago?’’ remarked the reporter. “So I did,” replied Mrs. Scott. ‘‘Until this last year or so I was a big, stout woman, and hardly ever knew what it was to fee! tired, although I used to work very hard. In fact, I workod too hard, for which I stillered severely. When 1 had got about half way through my meals a sudden sense of fulness came on, as though 1 would choke if 1 ate another mouthful. Then my stomach swelled out with wind, the tenderness also being so great that I could not hear any clothes on. My appetite was very capricious, as 1 was quite ravenous some days, whilst on others I could not cat at all. A dull pain settled in my chest, whilst at all times I experienced groat agony between my shoulders. Worse than all, 1 got so debilitated that I had to give up my housework. After the most feeble efforts to do anything a sinking feeling came over me and I was prostrated for the rest of the clay. The most hideous thoughts preyed upon my mind when I laid down with the intention of going to- sleep, my thoughts wandering over fearful imaginations so persistently that I could not even get a short doze. I became a perfect victim to insomnia, and have gone for weeks without sleep. This had such a stupifying effect upou my brain that 1 gazed upon everything and everybody around me with that strange bewildered expression which is seen in persons who are partly demented. I could not collect my thoughts for a moment, and as I lay in a sort of dead weakness I could hoar everything said and done, yet I could not speak. My tongue, which was covered with a white coating, seemed to be paralysed, for it often happened when 1 wanted to say something that I could not make a distinct utterance.” “Were you alarmed at your condition, Mrs. Scott?” “ I can assure you that I was always worrying and fretting, as I was afraid I was sinking away. My nerves were quite shattered. I started and quivered from head to foot at the least tiling, If a neighbour came round fo the back door and I happened to be near it, as soon as I heard the sound of a voice I screamed aloud in terror. Really, my life was not worth living, as I was always twitching nervously as though I had St. Vitus’ dance, and my head ached so unmercifully that 1 thought it would split. Across the loins the most terrible pains existed, and the continuance of those maladies brought mo down to a miserable shadow, besides being very yellow in appearance. The simple act of bending down made mo feel giddy on raising my head, when a mist also came before ray eyes, the sight of which was in a very imperfect state. By the timo all these symptoms wore fully developed my stomach was in such a weak condition that T could nob retain even invalid foods, the smell of which turned me against it. My digestive apparatus was completely out of order, so that it was impossible for anything to nourish mo.” '■ I expect you tried very hard to get relief?” “Of course I did. My doctor said 1 had diabetes very far advanced and treated me accordingy. Sometimes I used to think his physic was_ doing me a little good, and shortly alter I was just as bad as ever. The relief was only temporary, so at last 1 ga l e him tip and started taking Cements Tonic as a last experiment. Hie result was this: My nerves were made sound, swellings and stomach pains ceased. insomnia was cured, digestion restored, aches and torments banished- -ail by the a-e of Clements Tonic, which made me remit h\ and happy. To similar siilim *ts emphatically recommend C em i t< lonic, and you can publish my testimony any way you deem advisable.
