\ a The Torture® and 0 iseri« of DYSPEPSIA Tin2 Cass of Ms'S. E. (liY A WELLINGTON REPORTER.) Instructions wore received by our reportor t) institute inquiries into a matter concerning which it was necessary to interview Mrs. Emma Limn, of 2\o. 11 Brook-strceb, Thornton, Wellington. “ You liavc had a very bitter experience lately, lam told,” said the writer. “ May I encroach upon your kindness for the details ? ” “ Most willingly'. Of course you mean my illness, and you wish to know, I suppose, how I recovered. Quite a number of people have asked me the same question, and although I have related the facts over and over again, I foci myself under such a great obligation for the blessing of my present good health that I am always ready to impart the secret of my recovery for the consideration of suffering humanity. To begin with, I may toil you that I suffered terribly with indigestion about twelve months ago. Everything I ate "went wrong in my stomach, creating insufferable discomfort and pain. Even a piece of toast caused intense agony in my stomach, where it lay like a heavy, solid lump of clay'. My chest felt compressed and uncom ortablo, and I could not breathe without feeling sharp pains every time I drew my breath. Very often I was trouble l with spasms of wind which emanated from the sour, undigested food, and then succeeded a period of anxiety ami torture. My heart used to palpitate to a frightful extent, making me fear that it was diseased. A feeling as though some sharp instruments were being pressed between my shoulders came on, and there was a dulls okly pain at the bottom of my ribs. All day I felt drowsy and fatigued, as though I h id been working hard for a week without any sleep, whereas, as a matter of fact, I could not work at all.” <• Did your complaint really affect you so badl v as that ? ” *• Yes, it is perfectly true, I was so exhausted and run dnva that I had no energy left, I lost as much vitality through sleeplessness as from any other cause. Indeed, I was often on the verge of collapse for the want of sleep. After turning about all night in bodily pain and mental \yorry I U3ed to net up like one rising from the grave. My limbs ached from head to foot, and as soon as I started to move about I felt dazed and giddy. As my complaint tightened its grasp upon my debilitated system the more weak and miserable I became, and I now never felt the least sensation of hunger. I had long since lost all colour, my face now being thin and agedlooking. My tongue was moist with an offensive coating, the bitter taste of which was always in my mouth. Ihe great strain upon my shattered constitution seriously affected my nerves. At ono time, before my illne s,‘l could face anything without fear, but now I was so nervous that I disliked being by myself in the house. Right from the commencement of my distressing illness I suffered daily from blinding headaches. Intense agony shot up to the top of my head, making it impossible to think of anything excepting the frightful agony I was in. There was not a moment's peace for me in life, and when I had been struggling hopelessly on with my doctor s medfmnes for many months I fell into a state of melancholy and despair. I did not expect to regain my health by any other means after the failure of my doctor to even give slight relief.” ...... “But you did get better. How did i* ippen ? ” “ A lady who bad suffered from debility r 3' ears, and was cured by Clements mic, heard •about my sufferings and .lied to see mo. She told me that Clements jnic was bound to cure me if I would give a trial. I did so, and that accounts for y present good health. I was an utter reck, but Clements Tonic welded my •oken fragments of health together by reoriiirr mv liver to proper working order, id my digestive organs wore soon made n-fect, Clement Tonic drove away my tins, gave me an appetite, and peaceful ee p In a short while Clements lon e had •stered my complaint, and I have not been since. Therefore you can publish my atements in any way you like.” STATUTORY DECLARATION.
