One Good Turn DESERVES ANOTHER. The Case of Mrs. M. TURNER. (by a local, reporter.) Calling at 120 Cuba-s'reet, Wellington, ft reporter had an interview with Mrs. Mary Turner, which is deemed of sufficient importance to engage the attention of most readers. In answer to the pressman Mrs. Turner said : “ I have not the least objection to being interviewed in regard to the illness I had when living in Wanganui seven years ago. Quite the reverse, in fact, because I think it is due to other sufferers that they should know of that wonderful medicine which I am indebted to for helping me out ofmy physical difficulties.” “ From what I have been told,” said the scribe, “I am under the impression that you were then in a state of debility.” *■ You have been told the truth, then, for I was completely run down. You know the worry of bringing up a family of children is ft great tax upon a woman, and, besides, I had not had a holiday for a long time. From commencing to feel tired before my work was finishe 1 I got to such an enfeebled condition that I used to feel exhausted before it was begun. All day long I felt weary and depressed, and could not engage my attention upon any mortal thing that might have helped me to pass a few of the dull hours away. Another of my troubles was that I could not eat. Even the look of food was enough for me, I felt so sick at the sight of it, and I often used to think that if I could only eat a little how much good it might do me. A total absence of energy, and aching sensations in my limbs, were the things that were bothering me greatly, ftnd it came to such a pass at length that I could not do any work, and had to get a girl in the home to do it for me. Then I could £et up whatever time I liked in the mornings, and speed the days just as I fancied, but even then I was not happy. I seemed to be too frightfully low-spirited for anything to make me cheerful, and at last I went to a doctor to see what he could do for me.” “I hope you progressed well under his treatment ? ” “I used to hope I would, but, alas ! my hopes were all in vain. The medicines he gave me had no better effect than if I had not taken them at all, for I continued to be restless at nights, and have such horrible dreams that I felt quite weary when I woke up again. And talk about nervousness ! That wai no name for it, as I was too timid to go out at night, and when my folks were coming home in the daytime even they would have to make some familiar sound, so as to prevent coming upon me suddenly and giving me a fright.” “ If you did get a shock what was the usual result ? ”

“ I fell down in a faint if anything frightened me. Really, I was awfully nervous, and would wake up with a start ■ometimes, and often covered with perspiration. I was a misery to myself and everybody else, around me. At night I burned a light in my room as I was actually afraid to be in the dark in my own house ; so you may imagine the mental torture I endured, and would probably still be enduring, only for the wonderful medicine they call Clements Tonic. My husband was advised to get me some, but after my other experiences with medicine, I said : ‘ What is the good of taking that stuff ? ’ I was then ignorant of the virtues of Clements Tonic, and could not give credence to the possibility of it doing any good after so much physic taking had proved futile; but I can sincerely assure you that before I had taken much Clements Tonjp my opinions in regard to that medicine were de<*idedly altered, for it made an entirely healthy woman of me. I used to suffer with excruciating pains in my right side, headaches since childhood, flatulence and oppression in the chest, but Clements Tonic released me from all those torments, besides so effectively curing me of nervousness that it never troubles me now. The influence of Clements Tonic upon me was magical, and from the bottom of my heart I recommend those similarly afflicted to resort to the medicine that cured me.” “ Would you like to publish this interview ? ” “Do so for the sake of those who suffer like I did, and publish my story in any way you think best.” STATUTORY DECLARATION. I, Mary Turner, of No. 120 Cuba street, Wellington, in the Colony of New Zealand, do solemnly and sincerely declare that I have oarefully read the annexed document, consisting’ of two folios, and consecutively numbered from one to two, and that it contains and is a true and faithful account of my illness and cure by Clements Tonic; and also contains my full permission to publish in any way my statements —which I give voluntarily, without receiving any payment; and I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true, and by virtue of the provisions of an Act of the General Assembly of New Zealand, intituled “The Justices cf Peace Act, 1832.” Declared at Wellington, this eeventh day of May, One thousand nine hundred and three, before me, JOSEPH J.p
