went on. I was stricken with awe afraid to move.” ‘ No doubt those symptoms maae yo@ very anxious 1 ” “ Rather, especially when they came OQ during the night. I very rarely slept, bu& when I did my brain was flooded with th© most formidable and ugly dreams. If I did snatch a couple of hours’ sleep, I felt nobetter for it. Aly legs, and, in fact, all my limbs, ached both day and night, and there was not a moment out of the twenty-fott? hours that I was free from a sense of extreme tenderness in the right side of the abdomen, upon which my doctor applied many plasters. Blisters u*cd to appear, and then they were pricked and allowed to heal up. Another plaster was put on with the earn© result. This performance was repeated ISO often that my side got so sore that it tor* tured me for a month after the last application. I would net have minded the additional suffering if it had produced any beneficial effect; but it was all pain and no r©» lief. There was not enough strength left to enable me to walk ten yards without being overpowered with a feeling of faintneglß. Aly nice had an unearthly expression, and£ was reduced to a shadow. I was too lowspirited to hope, and there seemed nothing in store but to linger on in misery till I died. All the medicine prescribed by my doctor was worse than useless, for I am perfectly satisfied it did ine a lot OS damage. 3 * “There is evidently nothing wrong with you now, A'lrs. Day ? ” My health has been all that I could de« sire for the past six years, and if I had only read that lady’s testimonial when I was first taken ill, I am sure my sufferings would have been stopped at once. ler ailments were very like mine, so X at once decided, to cease the physic which proved so valueless, and see if Elements Tonic was capable of doing me any good. I was too much brokeEl down to expect to be cured of my disosts® altogether.” , „ “ But you were cured, I understand? “Yes. 1 am very grateful to say thatS Clements Tonic, after clearing my systeM of the disease which had nearly ruined my constitution beyond repair, built up iny strength to a state of perfection. I experienced relief from pains in the chest and stomach the first day I took Clements Tonic. Aly appetite gradually returned, and I could soon eat anything without any unpleasant after effects. Aly nerves were strengthened and steadied, and my sleep was made sound and free from dreams. Clements Tonic proved its value by restoring my lost, vitality, and I threw off the feeling of melancholy in no time. I did not hesitate in keeping myself supplied with Clements Tonic till I was thoroughly sound in every way, and I afterwards gave my daughter the same remedy for a like complaint. Clements Tonic cured her also. Aly daughter was bo emaciated and weak as a result of her illness that she could not walk upstairs. Oil© doctor said she had heart disease, but she v*> now stroi g, robust, aud happy, and Glemeut9 Tonic made her so.” “ Have you any objection to the publication of your remarks ? ” “ None whatever. You may publish thesa facts iu any way you like.”

The Case of Elrs. H. DAY.

(BY A SPECIAL REPORTER.)

There are very few people who do r.ot, at some period of their existence, look back with sad regret at opportunities lost and time misspent. Even the most successful men in life have tlieir moments of retrospection in regard to prodigality of time. We are apt to cast the responsibilities of our misfortunes upon the shoulders of ill-luck instead of frankly acknowledging a deficiency of foresight or lack of adaptability and perseverance. If we practised the habit of employing our time in enlightening and profitable researches, we might reasonably expect a satisfactory result ; but if, on tho contrary, we throw aside the privileges which cross our path through life, we cannot conscientiously attribute our adversities to the partiality of fortune. Airs. Harriet Day, of Ghuznee-street, Wellington, told our reporter that she could have saved herself no end of trouble had she put advice Into immediate effect. “ By whom was the advice given ? ” questioned the newspaper man. “By a lady who had been nearly dead with liver complaint. Tho advice was printed and circulated in book form, but I did not trouble to read it, unfortunately, till about four months after it had been in my house. That is where I made a great mistake, for which I paid a heavy penalty. I was living in Palmerston at the time. Anybody there can tell you how I suffered for months with a fearful attack of liver complaint. The disease crept upon me very slowly, for I felt greatly depressed and fatigued for a long time before any marked symptoms were experienced. The only tiling I felt inclined to do was to sit gazing listlessly out of the window, although I felt no interest in anything that met my gaze. [ could not make up my mind to start my work. I had neither will nor energy left. My vitality leaked out of my system so insidiously that I thought I was goinw into a decline. Then I was suddenly made aware cf the fact that ft disease of some kind was sating my vitals away.” “ By wlm* means did you make tl'.is discovery ? ” “ Through most excruciating burning pains, which started in my chest and travelled down to my right side. This terrific agony never subsided, so I consulted a doctor, after patiently bearing my burden of pain for a day or two. The doctor said my liver was sluggish, and that I wanted any amount of exercise. lie told me that if I had not enough work to do in my house I was to exert myself as much as possible out of doors. I followed his advice as long as possible.” “And did your health improve ? ”

“No. lam sorry to say it got worse. My maladies increased with time. I had a little bit of an appetite sometimes, but whatever I ate disagreed with me. The food caused intense cutting pains in my stomach, and acute jerks of agony appeared under my shoulders. Besides suffering these dreadful tortures, I -was very drowsy after eating. In a few days later I could not even keep bread and milk on my stomach, but immediately I took a little nourishment up it came again. The unpleasant taste in my mouth was enough to make anyone vomit, which I did two or three times a day. My bowels were confined and relaxed in turn, and my tongue unclean. I could not hear very well either. Mj friends could not make out the reason why they had to raise their voices to a high pitch before I heard what they were talking about. And then, again, I was nearly driven mad with headaches, which attacked me with great violence, and never gave me a moment’s rest. My eyes were dim and felt swollen. I could not read the paper without feeling dazzled in a minute or two. One day I really thought my time had come. I experienced exasperating agony from windy spasms for a while, then my heart beat violently for such a time that I dreaded it was going to stop with a final flutter. These Marming attacks afterwards occurred freand increased in severity as time
