Another WinIn Ctago. FKCTS . . . The Case of fell. A, WALKER. ([Si- A DUXJiDIS ItKl-OKTEIi;. A melancholy thought, that fixer, itucl upon one's mind needs as much doelorinj as physical (lipase, so let the hopeless an( careworn bo cheered by the story told to * reporter hy Mrs. Mary Ann Walker, o' Piirk ftreef, Kensington, Dmiedin, which ii as follows :— " When I was qui e a g'rl I used to In subject to attacks of indigestion ; and tlicn by some kind interposition of Providence, ] did not have another at'.acl; for twenty -livt years." ■Reporter: "Will yon be good enough t< give me an outline of your latest attlietions?' Mrs. Walker: " Nothing can he mor readily done than that, I believe ii helping other people in the rijdil direction us much as possible, and the best way I can do .so is to fell them how, and by wind means, my physical failings were overcome. I do not think there are many round licit who do not know about it already, as 1 have lived in Dunedin a number of years. Mid I have spoken to many of my friends about the wonderful curing capabilities ol Clements Tonic, which was the remedy that finally overcame my ailments. It was indigestion that I was suN'criug 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. lly last attack was very bad indeed, for the pain i had through tho wind in the stomach 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 1 might have fell a little easier, but the intensity of my afflictions seemed to become aggravated ■>.. during those brief spells, for when they returned the agonies wore almost unbearable. The feeling of oppression in my chest after I bad partaken of a little food was abominable. It appealed to mo that every thing refused to go any further than half way down my chest, and cause the bi entiling tubes to be interfered with, as ] was often troubled with shortness of breath, and, the pains under my shoulder blades used to cause me misery without end, Perhaps the greatest aflLctioit of all was sleeplessness, Tor it meant that 1 bad to go through the same tortures at night that 1 had been experiencing during tho day; *nd what a wretched thing 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 happen, and I used to work myself up into such a stale of norvous B.xcitemenl that I trembled in every limb." Reporter; "You would hardly feel fit foi your work after passing such restless nights?" Mr*. Walker; "I got almost too weal; tc rto anything, and what with the terrible pains across my loins, and the severe head iches I had, I realty felt as if life was not ivorlh living. At times I had to take my tilings off on account of the severity of the pains in my stomach, and many a night ] have walked the floor because my agonies were tco great for mc to bear whilst lying .(own. I had no appetite at all, -.no mother thing thirt turned mo against the thought of eating was the bitter Uista in my mouth, for everything seemed to have a nasty flavour. It was an awfully monotonous life to lead, and if I could help it ] would not go through the same again foi worlds." • Reporter: "1 iuidersta.ii 1 it was tin worst attack you ever had!" Mrs. Walker: "There is no question ibout that, and as nothing but Clements l'onic could cure mo, you can see why 1 tppveciatc that medicine so much. I was more feeble than I had ever been before, yet i few bottles of Clements Tonic made mc as itrong as evor, and the way it did so was I y making my digestion good and giving me an ippctite. The relief from pain I got was ;\tinordinary, and bow 1 used to prize >moiiiß Tonic for the way it made mo' deep! Nothing can equal the same ncriicinc for the nerves either, and for j.ring headaches and giddiness, and for ..akiug away the nasty uUe and maliinj, ,nc's breath nice ami sweet, there is nothing o tome up to Clements Tonic," Reporter: " Were you completely mred?" Mis. Walker: "Completely; so foi AhciV bcnelit you may publish in any w.iy ■ny story."
