j A Case of Great Nervous Weakness. The o,se of Mrs. I. LLOYD. (By a Special Reporter.) A. special writer recently had an ini teresting conversation with Airs. Isabella Lloyd, of No. 283, Madras-street, Chriatchurch, to whom we are indebted for the following information: "My system was so thoroughly run down some time ago that mv nerves were quite unstrung." said Mrs."Lloyd. "This nervous disease must have boc-n eating away at me for some time in an insidious manner, otherwise it would not have appeared with such violence when it did show itself." " In what way were you troubled with nervousness?" asked the reporter. I was agitated and startled at the slightest noise. Even if it happened to be a familiar sound, such ,?s the striking of a clock, or the barking of a dog, I trembled and quivered in every muscle. When a knock came to the door it was with a great amount of fear and trepidation that I answered it. I was in a state of continual fear that something dreadful was going to happen. • Whenever I was left in the house by myself I used to sit in & corner, afraid to move. I have often and often sat thus watching the doorfor hours at a time, till it seemed to dazzle before my eyes, and I frequently fancied it was being opened by some un-

-— ; — visitor. I could not help thinking _ that somebody was lying in wait behind the door, hence my reason for looking at it so intently. <?. These hideous thoughts made me shudder from head to foot, and I have often been bo terrorised and horror-stricken from sheer nervousness that I could not move." " I suppose you were glad when bedtime came?" "Not a bit of it. for I could scarcely ever get- to sleep. Even if I did happen to fall asleep, it was no reit for me, as my slumber was disturbed by the most horrible dreams, which caused me to wake up suddenly in a state of great alarm. I was frntful and easily upset, besides being irritable without any cause. A source of considerable torture attacked me in the form of racking, nervous headaches, which never favo me a mnmr-nt's ponce. Some days! could oat a little food, whilst at other times I could not bear the sight of it. At any rate it did not matter much whether I ate or not, as my food did not do me any good. I fell off in flesh. «nd my condition gradually changed: from bad _to worse. When I arose, from bed in the mornings I had barely eudugh strength to stand, and I used to think of the work in front of me with a feeling of loathing. As my sufferings showed no signs of abatement.: a terrible depression of spirits came over me. There was not the slightest comfort in life, and I do not think there is anybody in this world who would care to linger on under such trying vicissi-. trades. Death would be preferable, believe me.f? "Whilst my illness was upon me I carried a heavy load of mental and physical torture. Had it continued much longer 1 dread to think what may have happened. Luckily, however, I found that I was not yet doomed, f) My sister-in-law hearing of my miserable condition, strongly recommended me to try the same medicine which had cured her of nervousness. She said she was positive it wonld pull me through, although I was much worse than she was. I was dubious, but after events showed f.llflf T trflo ntif nn a M/vtif nlr "

taat jl was put on the right track." "What were you advised to take?" " Clements _ Tonic, and I consider it the best medicine ever made, as it put now life into me. Clements Tonic soothed m t y nerves, and cleared away the depressing headaches. Shortly my appetite returned, - and I could eat without experiencing pain, besides sleeping peacefully at night. The nervous terrors terminated through the wonderful influence of Clements Tonic, and my complaints soon ceased to trouble me. I would be very ungrateful, if I did not give public testimony to the medicine which restored my health and happiness, both of which were conveyed to me by Clements Tonic. Tou can publish in any way these remarks." STATUTORY DECLARATION. I, Isabella Lloyd, of 253 Madras-street, Christ* church. In the colon; of New Zealsnd do solemnly •nd sincerely declare that I have carefully read the annexed document, consisting qf two folios, and con. secutively numbered from one to mo, and that it contains and Is a true and faithful account of my Illness and cure by Clements Tonic, and also contains my fall permission to publish In any way my statement!—which I give voluntarily, wlthcnt receivlne 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 Zealaad, Intituled "The Justices of Peace Act, iBSs." (J/aJlfyaDeclared at Chrlstchurch this sixth day of December, one thousand nine hundred, before me, O. M. GRAY. J.P, TUSSICURA. THE GREAT THROAT AND LUJSTG CUBE, In spite of the many rivals it has had to contend against in the field of pharmacy, TI S.SICUBA has proved its superiority and is now admitted to be, for throat and lung complaints, the remedy of the age. The wonderful success of the preparation is proof that the public are quite capable of judging

whether a thing is pood or otherwise, and. t'he verdict in this instance has been emphatically in its favor. When TUSSICURA was firet put upon the market the inventor was careful to explain that it was no part of his intention to provide a cheap medicine. Experience has shown that economy in these matters is invariably a mistake, but at the same time the public, quite properly, demand full value for their money. That they recognised that they have received it is shown by the large and constantly increasing sale of the mixture and the faith in its success, when it became more widely known, has been amply justified. It would be impossible to estimate tue good which TUSSICURA has accomplished ; for although it is much to have afforded immediate relief to sufferers from bronchitis. pleurisy, etc., it is still more important to have arrested the progress of these complaints before they had developed into more deadly diseases. This is a record of which the inventor may well feel proud, and the public have shown their gratitude by giving the preparation their strong support. PRICE ... 2/6 per bottle.
