Another Win ' Irs Otago. PRCTS... The Case of MmTS. A, WALKER. (B? A DUNEDIN REPORTER), A melancholy thought that fixes itsel. Upon one's mind needs as much doctorin| us physical disease, bo let the hopeless anc careworn lie cheered by the story told to i reporter by Mrs. Mary Ann Walker, o' Park-street, Kensington, Dunedia, which a us follows " When I wttß quite a girl I used to bt subject to Attacks of indigestion; and then, by Borne kind interposition of Providence, ] did not have another attack for twenty-fiv< years." Eeporter: "Will yeube good enough t< give mean outline of your latest afflictions?' Mrs. Walker: "Nothing can be mor reudily done than that, because I believe it helping other people in the right direotion as much as possible, and the best way I can do so is to toll them how, and by what means, my physical failings were overcoDiie. I do not think there are many round here who do not know about it'.already, as; ] have lived in Dunedin a number of years, and I have spoken to many of mjr friend!: about the Wonderful curing capabilities ol Clements Tonic, which wad the remedy that finally overcame my ailments. • It was indigestion that I was suffering from again, and I do not believe there is any worse complaint than that, because the whole system seems to depeud upon the assimilative powers of the digestive organs. My last attack was very bad indeed, for the pain I had through the wind in the stoih&ch' was something horrible. For some time I was being attended by a doctor, but the most that was done for me was to give a little temporary relief only. For a day or two I might have felt a little easier, but the intensity of my afflictions seemed to become aggravated tu during those brief spells; for when they returned the agonies wore almost unbearable. The feeling of oppression in my chest after I had partaken of a little food was abominable, It appeared to me that everything refused to go any further than half way down' my cliest, and cause the breathing tubes to be interfered with, as 1 was often troubled with shortness of breath, and the pains under my shoulder blades used to cause me misery without end. Perhaps the greatest affliction of all was sleeplessness, for it meant that I liad to go through the same tortures at night that I bad been experiencing during the day ; iud what a wretched tiling it was to lie and have my mind tormented with thoughts that were of the most horrible description, I always fancied that Something dreadful was going to happbn, and I used to Work myself up into such a state of nervous excitement that I trembled in every limb." . Reporter: " You wotlld hardly feel fU/oi I your work' after passing such : rostlesi nights?" Mrs. Walker : " I got almoßt too weak to do anything, and what with the terrible pains across my loins, and the severe head; tches I had, I really felt as if life waa no! worth living. At times 1 had to take my things off on account of the severity of the Daifis in my stomach, and many a liight 1 bave walked the floor because my agonies Were too great for me to bear whilst lying down. I lmd no appetite at all, nna mother thing that turned me against the thought of eaiing was the bitter taet« in my mouth, for everything seemed to have o nasty flavour. It was an awfully mono, tonous life to lead, and if I could help it ] would not go through the same again foi Worlds." i ■ Reporter: "1 understand it was tilt, worst attack you ever had ? '* Mrs. Walker: " There is no question ibout that, and as nothing but Clements Tonic could cure me, you can see why 2 ippreciate that medicine so much. I Was more feeble than I had ever been'beforo, yet i few bottles of Clements Tonic made me .as itrong as ever, and the way it did so was 1 y making my digestion good and giving me an ippetite. The relief from pain I got was sutraordinaiy, and how I used to prize Oicmcnts Tonic for the way it mado me ileop! Nothing can equal tho same .uedioine for the nerves either, and for jitring headaches and giddiness, and for saking away the nasty taste and making mo's breath nice and sweet, there is nothing lo come up to Clements Tonic." Reporter: " Were you completely :urcd ?" Mrs. Walker: "Completely; so for jthcrs' benefit you may publish in any way my story." STATUTORY DECLARATION.
