By Others' Researches An instructive Lessoa. The Cane of Mrs. E. CRAOKNELL. (bt our reporter.) Mrs. Elizabeth Cracknell's residence in Gibraltar Crescent, Parnell, Auckland, is named after a pretty little romantic 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 be 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 victims to indigestion that was ever seen. Indeed, when my friend came along and spoke to me about taking Clements Tonic I positively 1.. 1 . , °»• i .1-1-1 *J and thought that I was *oing to die soon ; but I am a firm believer in clinging to life as long as possible, ann if Clements Tonic was as good as my friend said, then it might help mo to live a little longer. And, praise the Lord ! I was well advised ; for I had not taken many bottles when I could actually foci 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. Cnicknell": ,e Well I was sometimes almost stupefied with the ponderous pains in my head, which had the elicit of weighing me down under a sens-! of deprcsion that left no light nor comfort in- the world. I was too ill and W'jak even to attend to my flowers find ferns, rind more nftsn than not I was enduring such excruciating agony that I nad no thought for anything, save death. which seemed to be the only means of escape from my torture. T'le least food—and heaven knows what small quantities I took, for I had 10 ...p.p.-titu at all—was often the cause of me being almost bent double with (vindy spasms, and I swelled out so, while naudr Ihe blades of i.-y shoulder* the pains could not have been mix e sever e had needles been run into me. Uli '. thank God I am out of all that, and the aches in my back, too! and don't I recorded how nervous I was ! almost afraid to move in. case something untoward wouldliiippen ; and matters were no better for me s. K u*.ght, hs I was too restless to sleep; butldulu tmind that much, for I had such nasty dreams when I did. Then, firs t thing, the perpetual taste of bile in my nj.outh, with soinetiir-.es a greenish fluid risi; >g up from the stomach, and to think tin it nothing would ever relieve me was mors awl : ul still. . Oh! pity help those in the samo straits, for my heart bleeds for them, and my one tmbitionis tocomnrunioate to the whole civil: sed world the truth concerning thts ellicae y of Clements Tonic." Reporter: " T hat seems natural after your previous failu res." Mrs Cracknell : " Yes ; for there was a lime when I coul d hardly move without getting giddy, \vh jjj my eyes were dull and sunken, and'when' life itself became unbearable ; and when t fo-t blessed change came, it was through using Clements Tonic, which alone snatched me fr< >m the critical condition I was in, and help id : eon the ro.id of health and happiness th it. T have traversed ever since. I coul ! Pat .better and digest my food more readily aftt <r I had taken a fewbottles of Clements To nic than I bad been able to do for yearn, at 'd in good time I was as free from every kind of pain as I could he ; my nerves were str. onger, and in bodily health I was like'a nev - woman. For the consolation of fcna attlicti id you may publish my story in any form yoi u choose."
