A Narrative OF Former Days The Oaso of Mrs. Ai MOORE. (BY a local reporter.) Enthusiastic as we always are over our national achievements when anything directs our attention particularly towards them, we are only too liable to forget all about them when the exoitement o! the moment has cooled. This also applies in private matters, but it cannot be said of Mrs. Annie Moore, of Yelverton Terrace, Auckland, whose remarks "to our reporter were : " It is a long time ago now—some twelve years, I think—since I got over the greatest trouble that I ever had in all my life ; but in spite of the many years that have gone l>y I am ever mindful of the great blessings that accrued through using Clements Tonic, and for the sake of the afflicted I ought to make a public statement. It was a case of being thoroughly run down with me, having no strength to do my work, and so heavily depressed in spirits that I did not oare about going anywhere or doing anything. Many a day I*got up feeling too exhausted to stand, and with such a vile taste that I turned sick at the sight of food." " Do you think that your liver was out of order ?" questioned the special. "I am sure of it, because I went to a doctor and he said so. I do not know what the medicine was that he gave me, but I do know this—that it had no good effect upon me; and when I had been under Ids treatment a while I could see it was no use, so I gave up going to him. After that I took. to buying medicine from chemists, which also turned out to be profitless ; for I took almost everything obtainable without getting any better, unless it was a little ease that I sometimes got for a day or so." " Never any longer than that!" "Never; and at last I was quite driven to despair. My appetite had dropped off altogether, and I had become so feeble that I felt as if I wanted to lie down continually ; but the unfortunate part of it was that when'l did go to bed I could not sleep. There was not the slightest particle of color in my face, and I had got so emaciated as well that I really thought I was going into consumption. Oh 1 the horror of it was dreadful, and you can imagine the days of anxiety and suffering I put in with hopelessness staring me in the face because all the medicines were powerless to benefit me. My poor head was fairly racked with aches, and in course of time my vitality was so completely exhausted that sinking feelings came over me, and before I could help myself I fainted and dropped down anywhere." " How fortunate not to have met with a serious accident ?" "Wasn't I? But heaven knows my afflictions were great enough as they were, and don't you think I should be grateful to Clements Tonic for releasing me from such a critical condition ? Indeed, yes; and many a one I have told who put to good use this experience of mine. Would you believe that I could not take food of any kind unless it gave me a feeling in the chest as if a weight was placed there, and with flatulence and shoulder pains I suffered terribly, # and was so nervous that I was startled several times a day from no cause at all; yet when I began taking Clements Tonic I gained so much relief that I began to think my ailments were really curable after all, though up till then my opinions were quite the reverse. And this remarkable improvement was all traceable to the advice given by a gentleman who kept a grocer's store in Arch Hill. He said Clements Tonic was what I wanted, and truer words were never spoken, as not very long after starting with it I was quite free from headaches and the housework was nothing to me. The best sleep I had had for months came through using Clementa Tonic, and what a peaceful, contented and cheerful feeling I had when I woke up ! It was grand ; and my appetite was restored and so was my digestion. In a few weeks I was as light-hearted and as healthy as any woman in the city—no fainting fits or nervousness to worry me—and up to the present day I have been equally sound and strong." "A record like this should be useful." " For the sickly to refer to- yes; and you may publish it in any style you like." STATUTORY DECLARATION.
