Another NEW PROOFS EVERY DAY„ A RECOUP OF SUCCESS, The Cass of Mrs. SV2. BARRETT. (by a special reporter.) Although this colony is still buoyed up on a wave of unexampled prosperity it has valuable lessons to learn on various matters, an instalment being given below by Mrs. Maria Garrett, of No. G Chari ton-avenue, Wellington, whose remarks to our reporter were : “ For the greater part of my life I have been a particularly robust and healthy woman, and up to four years- ago I never had anything wrong with me that I can remember, so you will say that I am a veryfortunate individual.” “ You are indeed,” ejaculated the scribe, “ have you always resided in Wellington ? ” “ Oh, no. I was living in Christchurch for thirty 3'ears, and it was in that city where I had the only experience with sickness which fell to myself, and I can tell you iu all sincerity that it was a very bitter experience, too. I really do not think anybody could pass through worse agony tlim I had to fight against, and now that I have proved to my own satisfaction what is a cure for those troubles, I deem it my duty to teach others the lesson I so luckily learned.” “ Where did you feel the pain most, Mrs. Barrett ? ” <» “ It was in my right arm where the pains wore most severe,” was the reply, “right from my shoulder top to my fingers. Sometimes tiie arm seemed to go quite dead and for the time being I lost the use of it altogether. There was a feeling as .if something was going round and round in one part of my shoulder, and as each turn was taken my distress increased. It always got worse at night when I got warm in bed, and the consequence was that I could not sleep all night long. And what a miserable wreck I felt myself to be as each morning came ! no energy to do the work there was to be done, and" so frightfully depressed in spirits that I did not seem to care for anything. The limb afFected by rheumatism gave me the most agonising pains with any change of the weather. I always knew when rain was coming or when a northwester was going to blow, for then I was almost distracted with 'the pains running down my arm. This suffering went very hard with me on account of it happening at a very critical time in my life—in fact, when that great change takes place which happens to every woman when a certain age is reached.” “In all probabilit} 7, you would have quite enough to contend against without lmviug rheumatism as well ? ” “My word, I had! for my health was completely broken down. The pains in my head were terribly severe, and I had such strange attacks of giddiness and flushes that seemed to take all power out of me. Really, I used to feel as if I was actually sinking away whilst those horrible sensations were on, and when, after a while, they were gone again, I remained in positive dread of the same feelings coming on again. In the early part of the day I had a taste in my mouth like bile, and my tongue was dry and furred. Every little thing seemed to be contrary to what it ought to have been, in fact; my appetite being very poor indeed. Food that I used to like I did not care for then, and it was really amusing how I used to try and coax myself to eat, because I did not believe in giving way so long as I could hold out some way or other. But without an appetite the most tempting morsels were no good tome, and so increased weakness stealthily stole upon me. My existence was daily becoming more unbearable, for I began to suffer with terrible pains between the shoulders, and the aching sensations about my loins were very tantalising. The climax was put upon my afflictions by my nervous system being completely unhinged. You do not know what misery this caused me. All I felt fit for was to be loft quietly to myself, and noil to be bothered with anybody. Sounds thafe would pass unnoticed by a person in a healthy condition were often sufficient to set my nerves all of a shake, tfrid it became ssdly apparent that I wanted toning up altogether. When I saw myself going down hill so fast I began to fret, because, as I said before, this was my first illness, and it came as a very severe blow to me. Starting at the lower part of my neck, the most awful pains now shot up over my brain, and sometimes I scarcely knew what I was doing owing to the agony I was in. lam sure I could not have stood it all much longer, and I believe I would have collapsed altogether had it nob been for Clements Tonic, so it is only fair to other sufferers that I should put them in the way of getting better when they find themselves in the same condition as I was in four years ago ” “ Do you mind telling me how you came to use Clements Tonic ? ” “ I was advised to use it by a lady who used to suffer terribly with neuralgia in the face and head. Not 01113 7 did she advise me to use Clements Tonic, but I had seen the good effects of that medicine upon her with my own eyes, and when at last I could not see relief coining to me in any other way, I began, thank God ! to take Clements Tonic. Now, I want to explain to 3 7 0 u one thing very clearty, and that is that I was nob cured all at once. Nothing but a miracle could have effected that, but Clements Tonic did the next best thing—it cured me of my ailments by degrees ; and when I hear of so many people continually suffering through neglecting to take the right remedy, it makes ms feel doubly thankful that I commenced with the right medicine when I did. It may astonish some rheumatic people to know that Clements Tonic completely removed that disease from my arm and shoulder, but it is the honest truth nevertheless. Imagine how delighted I was when I noticed that those horrible torments were gradually leaving me ! \VII3 7 , life began to assume a new phase altogether, for before man3 7 weeks were over 1 was quite a new woman. The pains that had racked my brain were effectively dealt with by Clements Tonic, and it was surprising what a splendid appetite that remedy gave me. I could feel that my vitality was increasing each week, but that was 01113 7 to be expected considering that Clements Tonic had so released me from pain that I had nothing to keep me awake at nights, besides enabling me to digest my food so well that my weakened S3 7 stem gained all the nourishment from the food that I ate.” “.You had also suffered from nervousness ? ” “ Yes ; but Clements Tonic gave wonderful tone to my nerves, so that trouble was soon ended, and as for giddiness and the other ailments I had endured, well, there ia nothing like Clements Tonic to cure them ; and I hope this account of my remarkable recovery will be the means of helping many.
