PHCTS.,, The Case of Mrs. M. A, WALKER. (BY A DUNEDIN MPOIITER). A- melancholy thought that fixes itscl upon one's mind needs as much doctoriiij r as physical disease, so let the hopeless aw. careworn be cheered by the story told to . reporter by Mrs. Mary Ann Walker, o Park street, Kensington, Dunedin, which ii as followB:— " When I was quite a girl I used to b< subject to attacks of .-.indigestion; and then by some kind interposition of Providence,. : did not have another • attack for twenty-fin years." '■''■ Reporter: "Will you he good enough tt. give ino an outline of your latest afflictions? Mrs. Walker: "Nothing can be moi" .readily done than that, because I believe ii .helping other people in the right direction ,as much as possible, and the best way I cai do so is to tell them how, and by whai : ineans, my physical failings were overcome. I do not think there arc many round hen : who do not know about it already, as 1 have lived iu Dunedin a number of years. and I have spoken to many of my friends about the wonderful curing capabilities ol Clements Tome, which was the remedy that finally overcame my ailments. It wat 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 depend upon the assimilative powers of the digestive organs. My last attack was very bad indeed, for the pain ] had through the wind iu the stomach was something horrible. For some time I was being attended hy a doctor, but the nitisl that was done for me was to give a litik temporary relief only. For a day or two ] might have felt a littlo easier, but the intensity of my afflictions seemed to become aggravated fe during those brief Bpells for when they returned the agonies were almost unbearable. The feeling of oppression in my chest after I had partaken of a little food was abominable. It appeared to mo that every tiling refused to go any furthoi than half way down my chest, and cause the breathing tubes to be interfered with, as ] was often troubled with shortness of breath, Mid the pains under my shoulder blades used to canEe me misery without end , Perhaps the greatest affliction of all was sleeplessness, for it meant that I had to go through the same tortures at night that ] bad been experiencing during the day ; and what a wretched thing it was to lie and have my mind tormented with thoughts that were of the most horrible description ! always fancied that something droadfui was going to happen, and I used to work myself up into such a state of nervous excitement that I trembled in every limb." Reporter: " You would hardly feel fitfoi your work after passing such restless nights?" Mr«. Walker: "I got almost too weak tc lio anything, and what with the terrible pains across my loins, and the severe head iches I had, I really felt as if life was no! worth living. At times I had to take my chiugs off on account of the severity of tin pains in my stomach, and many a night i have walked the floor because my agonies ivero too great for mo to bear whilst lying aotvn. I had no appetite at all, and mother thing that turned me against tin thought of eating was the bitter taste in my mouth, for everything seemed to have » 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 nrorlds." Reporter: "1 understanj it was tin tvorst 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 1 ippreciate that mediciue so inuoh.* I was more feeble than I had ever been botore, yet % few bottles of Clements Tonic made me ns strong as ever, and the way it did so was l-y making my digestion good and giving me an ippctite. The relief from pain I got was jxtraordinary, and how I used to prize Elements Tonic for the way it made me deep! Nothing can equal the same uedioine for the nerves cither, and for j'.'ring headaches, and giddiness, and for aking away the nasty taste and miiliinj, nie's breath nice and sweet, there is nothing 'o come up to Clements Tonic." Reporter: " Were you completely mred ?" Mrs, Walker: "Completely; so foi others' benefit you may publish iu any way my story." STATUTORY DECLARATION.
