A Sound Lesson from Other People's Experience. The Gase of Mrs. G. LEMON. (Br AN OTAGO BEPOBTEB.) Many people with troops of friends get at Christmas time more presents than they care for. A perfect avalanche of turkeys and other good things descends on them, and they grumble at these, at the worry of having everything come together without knowing how to use them all. But there are gifts which prove serviceable all the year round, such a one being bestowed upon ■ our readers by Mrs. Cecilia Lemon, of Gisborne-street, South Dunedin, who said to an enquiring pressman : " I was living in Mornington six years ago, and for some time before leaving that locality I was not at all well. My system seemed to be broken down, and I could not get along with my work. My trouble was indigestion." " Are you quite sure," said the reporter, "that you have not made a mistake about your complaint ?" " Yes; I know it was indigestion, because I had been to a- doctor, and he was "treating nie for that ailment. .Altogether I suffered a good many years, and it seemed bo painfully' strange to me * that the doctor's, medicines could never do me any good. After so much ineffective treatment, I began to think I would never be cured, and I thought I would rather anything happen than I would live continually in such misery. It was so long since I had been able to sit down and eat a good meal that I had almost forgotten what it was like to have an appetite ; but my great misfortune was that the little I did eat had no strengthening effect upon me, and, besides, it gave me such an immense amount of pain. The oppression in my chest after the taking of nourishment was almost unbearable. Everything seemed to lie like a great weight and stop up the passages through which I breathed, and the pains not only affected my chest, but also went right through into my shoulders. It was quite a common thing for me, when I was doing a little dusting or other light duties in the house, to be taken with sudden fits of giddiness, which affected me so badly that I would have to put aside whatever I was doing, and rest until the attack had gone away. . The daily decrease in my vitality brought further disaster to me in the form of ntrvousness, as I could not bear to hear any noise, and if I got startled by any manner of means my nerves trembled to great excess. Such adversities as these were bud enough to endure during the day, but when, through sleeplessness, I had to put up with them aarain at night, it was re.illy terrible. After lying awake for hours it was usual for me to fall into a slumber that did not do me much good, for I was drcaimng all the time, and I awoke feeling as tired us ever. I was troubled greatly with flatulence, and although I was considerably weakened right throughout, yet it was in my back that I felt the weakness most, a-.d the aches across my loins were verv troublesome. That wearying sickness brought my weight down a good deal, but now, I am thankful to say, I am as stout and hearty as ever I was, and it is all due to the' cure which I managed to obtain thrcufr'h the use of Clements Tonic." " Were y. u advised to use that remedy ?" "No. I read a testimonial about it, and lIk; ease was just like the one I was comTilnining of, ko I thought Clements Tonic do me good, too, even, though the doctor's medicines were of no avail; and it was a blesoing that I did get some, for I picked up my health with remarkable rapidity.' Clements Tonic acted well upon my whole system, giving me an appetite and such freedom from pains, giddiness, and nervousness that in a short space of time I scarcely knew myself. I could not realise that the complaint which for several years had held out defiantly against all previous treatment was really being conquered at last, but the fact became patent to me later on. Headaches, sleeplessness, flatulence, and the other tortures of indigestion were gone, aud I always slept soundly, and awoke feeling fit for tho day's work. Believe me, it was a happy release, and I shall never forget Clements Tonic for it." "How are others to know your experience 1" " You can publish my story in any way you please."
