The Tortures and Miseries of DYSPEPSIA; The Case of IV! rs. E. LUiMN. (BY A WELLISCTOS KKFOKTEK.) Instructions were received by our reporter to institute inquiries into a. matter concern' ing which it was necessary to. interview Mrs. Emma Lnnn, of No. 11- Brook-street, Thornton, Wellington. “You have had a very hitter experience lately, lam told,” said the writer. “ May I encroach upon your kindness for the details ? ”

“ Most willingly. Of coarse you moan mj r illness, and yon wish .to know, 1 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 feel 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 tell you that I suffered terribly with indigestion about twelve mouths ago. Everything I ate went wrong iu 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 cheat felt compressed and uucomlortablo, and I could not breathe without, feeling sharp pains • every time I drew my breath. Very often I was troubled with spasms of wind which emanated from the sour, undigested food, and then succeeded a period of anxiety and 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 dullsickly pain at the bottom of my ribs. All day I felt drowsy and fatigued, as though I iiad been working hard for a week without any sleep, whereas, as a matter of " fact, I could not work at all/

badly as that 1 ” “ Yea, it is perfectly true, I was so exhausted and run down 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 worry I used to get 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 ray 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 tliiu and agedlooking. My tongue was moist with an offensive coating, the bitter taste of which was always in my mouth. The great strain upon my shattered constitution seriously affected my nerves. At one time, before my illness,’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 1 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 medicines 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 it happen 1 ” “ A lady w> o had suffered from debility for years, and was cured by Clements Tonic, heard about my sufferings and called to see me. She told me that Clements Tonic was bound to cure me if I would give it a trial. I did so, and that accounts for my present good health, I was an utter wreck, but Clements Tonic welded my broken fragments of health together by restoring mv liver to proper working order, and my digestive organs were soon made perfect. * Clement Tonic drove away my pains, gave me an appetite, and peaceful sleep. In a short while Clements Tonic had mastered mv complaint, and I have not been JJJ since. Therefore you can publish my statements iu any way you like.”
