Wellington. The Case of Mrs.'-'B. BECK. ;;' (BY A WELLINGTON REPORTER..) The mosfcevery-dayoccurrencea are often the very ones that cause most perturbation ih the minds of the 'phblic.V For example, Beatrice Beck, confectioner, of Riddi-iord-street, Newtown, Wellington, was greatly perplexed some five years ago, as will be seen by her :— . I scarcely knew what to do to get relief,” began Mrs. Beck, as 1 she sat talking to our reporter, “as for a long time I had dieCn suffering from headaches, and my life (was getting simply a misery to me. As r each week passed I found myself becoming more and more unable to do the work that falls to the lot of every housewife, owing to the loss of energy that I sustained.” Can you account'for'the wasting away Of your vitality 2” queried the writer. Kr:‘ ‘ That is a very simple matter. For ona thfng, I suffered dreadfally from insomnia'; and I can voitch that I never had more than two or three hours’ sleep every night. All sthis happened when I was living in East ■Melbourne, on the other side of the water ; and, so far as sickness goes, I can assure -you that my recollections of that place are not very pleasant. My chest was exceedingly weak, and the difficulty I had in 'breathing often brought the idea to my mind that I was labouring under some kind of bronchial trouble. It was after eating that I found it most troublesome to breathe ; and it could not have been on account of the quautiby I ate, because I had such a poor appetite.” “Did you get any expert opinion as to what you were ailing from ?” “ Oh, yes, I consulted quite a number of doctors, and they all agreed that my chest was weak ‘ and that my internal organs were deranged. And you may depend upon it that I had plenty of medicine from them, too ; yet it may surprise you to hear that I . would have been equally well off had I not. . taken any at all. To tell you the truth, I grew thoroughly disheartened at meeting with so much failure at their hands, and when it became quite clear that it was no Use continuing with their treatment any. longer, I thought I had better resort to other measures.” ~ ; • “May I enquire what you did then ?” “Well, I simply started taking patent 7 medicines, and when I had tried almost every one of them my condition was not improved iu the least. I was coughing incessantly, my, nerves gave way, and , I was so excessively weakened that I was compelled ■to Us up. Now, that was when the happy relief was effected —when I.was at my very worst—and I have to thank my nurse for the good advice she gave me when she directed me to take a course of Clements Tonic; for by the use of that medicine my anxiety of mind was relieved, and. my physical strength was restored.” /■ “ Had you become anxious as to your condition?” V had every reason to think that I was going into a consumption, I had fallen away so ; and as for my digestion—well, it was completely gone. I had a pain between the shoulders as if a knife was running into me, and across the loins the aching sensations were moat distressing. The smallest amount of food gave rise to so discomfort from flatulence that I positively dreaded eating anything at all before using • Vmlftffcprwards, in about a uictyucu. orbing v 6 to Clements Tonic; bu|pfterwards, in about a fortnight I think, those symptoms were much less troublesome, and, so far ua my appetite was concerned, the improvement in it was wonderful. My eyes had felt dull and heavy, and I used to have a bilish taste in the mornings ; but, to my astonishment, those linpleasant symptoms had dispersed, and my vitality was rapidly returning. That’s what pleased me more than anything, for when I was able to get up and do my work again I felt quite cheerful, because I ? knew that Clements Tonic wa3 curing me if nothing else had been able to. In a few weekiTTßO"tenrger-efttertained fears about the dreadful disease that carries so many away, because my racking cough had gone and my chest was quite free from its burdensome sensations.’!. . “Thatmust have been a great relief toyoiir, mind?”' * ■-<V ■ .sv&sa&jq “ Yes, and I have only Clements Tonic to praise for it alb Th‘ re is nothing like it in’ the world for such afflictions as mine Were, as Clements .Tonic blade me perfectly healthy before I had finished with it; and, for the sake of others, you are at liberty to publish tliese statements in any way you like.” •_ STATUTORY.
