m WINDY WELLIPIGTOfi. “RflY VITALITY WAWED AWAY.’ 1 Tho Doctor’s Verdict—“ GALL STOWES, 5 ® Clements Tonic’s Work —A Thorough Cure. The Case of Ptfrs, E. SCOTT. (BY A SPECIAL REPORTER). Instructions were given to a reporter to ascertain the exact truth in regard to a statement concerning wliich Mrs. Elizabeth Scott, uf 20 Constable-Street, Wellington, bad something to Say of a particularly interesting character, ami as it may be turned to good account by the reader, we give it below r :th that object in view. “ 1 have heard you were in a bad stale of health some time ago. Will you kindly enlighten me us to what j’oxir; sufferings . were like, i ” asked the pressman, ’ ‘*l can well remember every 'little detail connected with my illness, although it is years ago since I got better, tshall bo very pleased to have a chat with you about it. Like most married ladies I take great intcrej-t in having my house as clean and neat as a new pin, but the time arrived when I did not care how things went. My vitality gradually waned away till I felt too listless and indifferent to straighten up the place. Everything went topsy-turvy, yet 1 was unable to pull myself together and act niatters right. I fat about llio house all day feeling just as tired, and exhausted as though I had been wovkipg hard. It was very seldom that I felt - inclined -to eat, especially in the mornings, when I liad a sour taste in my mouth. Indeed, the offensive flavour of bile never left me, and it was so distinct that whatever I ate or drank tasted bitter. Then. I elt a sharp pain in the upper part of my b. nk. It was for all tho world like a knife ha king away between my shoulders. Allda> long I felt drowsy ami sleepy, but when I icured to bed at night, 1 was unable to sleep till about four or five o'clock iii the morning, when I foil oil into a sort of stupor, during which I had dreadful dreams When I woke up again I was aching all over my body, and did not feel roficshed in the least. Under these circumstances it is no wonder I neglected my household affairs. . I used to take purgatives and different medicines, but \ not feel any bettor after them. They did not even relieve me-of the terrible headaches from which X was a constant sufferer.” “ What did your doctor oay was wrong with you?” “lie said I had gall stones under the. hvcv, and that I would have to undergo an opeiMion if I wanted to live.' Ho said there was no medicine in the world capable of curing me, and that my only chance was to be operated upon. .The pains under my shoulders were frightfully severe by now, I could not endure the agonising tortures any longer, so the doctor used to call at regular intervals and inject morphia, which gave a little temporary relief ; but the pains were a hundred limes worse afterwards. I •was very careful not to take any food which was likely to be indigeai ible, confining myself to milk diet exclusively. Bub, in spits of all my care, I had terribly acute stomach pains, besides a feeling of weight and fulness in chest. Some days I felt as though a knife wero carving backwards and forwards from my shoulders to my stomach. They were just like the severe pains of inflammation. Many a time! have shrieked loudly in the excess of my awful sufferings. Little black.spooks used to dazzle ini front of my eyes, which were dull -and leaden, and my sight was so seriously affected that I could scarcely see. I was so reduced in flesh that I was frightful to look - at,' my face being wan and colourless, and my cheeks quite hollow. Tho simplest of noises made me shake, my nerves having got so very sensitive. In fact, my nerves were so unstrung that I dare not walk through tho passage alone. I received many a shock to thO'System through ray own nervous imaginations, and then I was sot jumping and twitching for hours.” * “ How did your children get on when you O'er© like this ? ” “They had to do the best they could for themselves. I was too weak and run down to look after them. Besides, I was so irritable that 1 could not toleralb ttibir chatter. I took no interest in receiving or visiting friends, neither did I go from homo unless in a case of urgent necessity.” “ You were very downhearted, perhaps! * “Yes, I wns worse than downbeat ted. I was dejected and melancholy to such an extent that I did not cure whether 1 got well again or not. But I was afterwards aroused from this state of lethargy by severe attache of neuralgia, which nearly tlrovo me out of my mind. My wrecked and emaciated frame could not stand tho very high winds which we have so often in this city. Every time I got into a draught I felt the acuta darting pains start in the back of my neck and rush up to the side of my face, and thence to the top of my head. X thought it very hard to be thus afflicted, at a time when I was half dead from the effects of my liver complaint. The two or three hours’ sleep 1 used to get wero now added to my long hours of painful wakefulness,” “ You eay that tho doctor informed you that you were beyond the reach of medicine.” “ That is bo, although ho gave me bottles and bottles of physic when ho found that I would not submit to an operation. I got tired of taking his prescribed mixtures at lust, and then X purchased other medicines and gave them a patient trial. They were all alike. I did not gain a fraction qf benefit from any of thorn.” “ Arc there any ladies in Wellington more healthy in appuurance than yourself?” “That is rather a delicate question, But I am surd there is not one who feels mor® healthy than I do. The wonderful change took place shortly after I discarded tho medicine I had so long tried in vain, and star ted taking instead a thorough course of Clements Tonic. This proceeding was advised by a lady living close by, whose hcaltu had been restored by the same medium. My friend told mo that she had suffered for years from excessive nervousness, indigestion, and a general break-up of the system ; that several doctors attended hop without experiencing any benciit from their treatment; and that she resbrtbd to all kinds of patent medicines with equal failure. Finally, she was cured v ( all her ailmouU by Clements Tonic;” “ What sort of progress did you make?*' “Very rapid, considering the shocking state I vkas in. I felt comforted and cased by the brat bottle of Clements To no, which gave me a desire for food. My pi freeing sick headaches were removed iu Jess time than I had thought within the region of possibility. Tho acute burning juins disappeared ft ora my stomach and shoulders, and 1 knew that Clements Tonic had save I me from the tortures of an operation—perhaps from death. I slept splendidly und got stout. My-norvcs were stimulated into steady action, besides which grew’ stronger. The miserable feeling.of hopeless) despondency was soon thrown off, and I am thankful to say that I have been lighthearted and in the best of health since Clements Tonic gained a victory over mv disease.” “ You will see this in the papers/' “I hope thousands may read it.
