FOR YOU MAY LEARN By Others' Researches An Instructive Lessoo. The Case of Mrs. E. ORAOKNELLi (BT OUR B.EPOBTBB.) Mra. Elizabeth Graoknell's residence in Gibraltar Crescent, Parnell, Auckland, is named after a pretty little romantio seaside resort in the Isle of Wight. It is called Shanklin Cottage, a fact that will interest the reader all the more because it was there that the following conversation took place : Reporter: "It has been mentioned to me that you have had a good deal of physical trouble in your time, and I would like to hear of it if you will kindly tell me." Mrs. Cracknell: "That I will, because you are a newspaper man, I suppose, and want to bring before the public information that will do them good. Well, mine ought to at any rate, for I had many years of the most intense misery, and it was not until a friend advised me to take some Clements Tonic that I knew what it was to bo free from it; and that may surprise you when you hear that I had previously been under doctors, and had taken medicines of various kinds until I was heartily sick at the mention of it." Reporter : " What was the cause of your misfortunes ? " Mrs. Cracknell: " The liver was diseased, and I was one of the most sorrowful victimß to indigestion that was ever seen. Indeed, when my friend came along and spoke to me about taking Clements Tonic I positively believed that I was beyond all human aid, and thought that I was going to die soon ; but I am a firm believer in clinging to life as long as possible, and if Clements Tonic was as good as my friend said, then it might help me to live a Utile longer. And, praise the Lord ! I was well advised ; for I had not taken many bottles when I could actually feci myself getting quite well again—that is, of course, compared to the feeble and emaciated wreck I had been for so long." Reporter: "May I hear what were the worst symptoms you experienced ?" Mrs. Cracknell: " Well I was sometimes almost stupefied with the ponderous pains in my head, which had the etlect of weighing me down under a sense of depression that left no light nor comfort in the world. I was too ill and weak even to attend to my flowers and ferns, and more often than not I was enduring such exoruciating agony that I had no thought for anything, save death, which seemed to be the only means of escape from my tortures. The least food—and heaven knows what small quantities I took, for I had no appetite at all—was often the cause of me being almost bent double with windy spasms, and I swelled out so, while under the blades of my shoulder? the pains could not have been more severe had needles been run into me. Oh ! thank God I am out of all that, and the aches in my back, too! and don't I recollooc how nervous I was ! almost afraid to move in case something untoward would happen ; and matters were no better for me at night, as I was too restless to sleep; but Didn't mind that much, for I had such nasty dreams when I did. Then, first thing, the perpetual taste of bile in my mouth, with sometimes a greenish fluid rising up from the stomach, and to think that nothing would ever relieve me was more awful still. Oh ! pity help those in tho same straits, for my heart bleeds for them, and my one ambition is to communicate to the whole civilised world the truth concerning the efficacv of Clements Tonic." Reporter : " That seems natural after your previous failures." Mrs Cracknell : " Yes ; for there was a time whoa I could hardly move without getting giddy, when my eyes were dull and sunken, and when life itself became unbearable ; and when the blessed change came, it was through using Clements Tonic, which alone snatched me from the critical condition I was in, and helped me on the road of health and happiness that I have traversed* ever since. I coul! eat better and digest my food more readily after I had taken a few bottles of Clements Tonic than I had been able to do for years, and in good time I was as free from every kind of pain as I could be ; my nerves were stronger, and in bodily health I was like a new woman. For the consolation of the afflicted you may publish my story in any form you choose." STATUTORY DECLARATION.
