Many Doctors Fail* Anaemia Debility * RADICAL CURE EFFECTED.

t&e Sydney "Evening News," 1416J98.) (by our special reporter.) Mrs. Bushby, of 69 Crown-street, Sydney, fcwing been cured of A Dangerous, Complication - of ailments by Clements Tonic, and this having come to our ears, our reporter was specially commissioned to wait on that lady nnd obtain from her own lips a detailed account of her case. Mrs. Bushby received the newspaper man most kin dly. •• I should indeed be ungrateful," she stated, " if I withheld from the . world tli c whole history of my illness and how I Was Entirely Cured by Clements Tonic, after trying in vain many remedies and many doctors, who give me up as incurable ; in fact, I have often thought of writing to the papers myself about it, with the hope that other women, -who are suffering as I did for years, might know how Clements Tonic saved me, and would Bave them." " Will you kindly inform me how and in what way you first fell ill ? " " Well, you must know," replied Mrs. Bushby, ' ' I am the mother of seven children, and I think the strain of so many children weakens one much and makes one the more liable to get seriously ill from slight causes. I have been accustomed also to nnrse my children a much longer time than the doctors advised me. I did not wean my last child till he was seventeen months old. It was shortly after this that I had a premature confinement;. It was no light waiter. I was laid up In Bed seriously ill. . ' The jootor who attended me at this time said that the accident that had happened to me was simply the result of weakness. I had got into a. very low state owing to my not weaning my child earlier. I had continual internal bleeding. I insisted, against the doctor's advice, in getting about within a couple of weeks, and from that time I date the serious illness which cluug to me For ao Many Months. Although, when top late, I took every care ■f myself, I got thinner, weaker, and more debilitated every day. Sometimes when standing up a sudden faintness would seize nio, everything would seem to go dark, (here would be a roaring noise in my ears, and I should fall to the ground in A Half-Conscious State. My complexion became sallow and parch-ment-like, with heavy dark marks under th« eyes. My face got thin, pinched, and drawn. My gums and lips were of an unhealthy blue colour. My blood was in a terribly tliin state, and my digestion was so weak that I could only take very light food, and in very small quantities, which did me but little good, and only digested by Slow, and Painful Degrees. I was more weary when I'got up in the morning than when I went to bed at nigkfc. I consulted another doctor about this time, and he said my liver was deranged and that I was suffering from extreme weakness arising through the Impoverished and Watery state of my blood— anremia, I think he called it. He prescribed both medicines and pills for me. He told me they were strengthening remedies, and I- took them as directed, but they did me no good at all, and I continued to get worse. I suffered continually from nervous headaches. My head was never completely free from pain. A strange trembling came on me at times. I had fallen into buc!i a Nervous and Depressed State that I was frightened to walk even a few yardsdown the street without someone at my side. The least nudtlen sound would bring on palpitation of the heart, aud I had to catch at the 1 first thing I"could To Save Myself from falling, and lie still for a time till the palpitation of the heart became less violent. Sometimes this would come on without any apparent cause." • f Did you still have fainting fits?" 11 Yes , I did. As I got worse they became more f r equent. I was never sure when I ■hould have one and fall down Quite Unconscious. I went to a dispensary. They asked me a great l.iany quostious and prescribed for me, but no benefit resulted. I then sent for anothcir doctor. I was Too ill to go to hitn. He came and examined me mo3t attenti vely, and told me amongst other things that the palpitation of the heart and the fa anting fits were the result of heart disease. I took his medicines, but dorived no ber «»fifc from them. I was in Despair. 1 rea. Ay thought I was not long for this world. I trial n«*rly everything— all kinds

of medicines and pills — some recommended to me by neighbours, and others I read of. Some of these were specially advertised to cure cases which seemed .similar to mine." " Did you get any relief ? " " No ; none of them were of the slightest benefit to me. I became so ill that I Couldn't Leave my Bed. For over a month I could take no solid foodof any kind ; just a little milk, a few spoonfuls at a time, that's all. For nights and nights in succession I never had an hour's sleep, and often when I did doze off for a few minutes I woke up with a violent -palpitation of the heart and a strange choking and Suffocating Sensation. Many a time 1 thought it waa all over with me, and when I could find breath I used to call out so loudly that the neighbours could hear me, "I'm Dying: ! I'm Dyin£l" I was in such an awfully weak state that it would have taken very little to kill me. On many occasions I think I must have been very near death's door through sheer weakness. At last I dare not go to bed at all, I was frightened I should die whilst lying Helpless on My Back. For five days and nights I sat in a chair hardly able to raise my hand. I despaired of finding a remedy for my complaint, 1 thought I should have to Bit there and yast?. away Till I Died. In faut I had given up all hope. One day a friend induced me to try Clements Tquic. Shp bought me some and brought it to me. 1 didn't expect an immediate effect in a case like mine, but after taking two small bottle* I was surprised and delighted to find myself getting stronger ; after Buch a long, weary illness the weakest hope is eagerly seized at. I felt at last that I had got hold of The Rigfbt Remedy, and One that was Able to got to the Cause of fVly Illness. All the other me-.lioincs I had taken had a slight stimulating effect for the time, but did me no real good, and, like taking a glass of brandy, when the effect had g..ne I was worse than before. But Clements Tonic had a different result altogether. The good it did me was permanent. After every dose I found a slight improvement. During my long illness 1 had no appetite at all. It hurt me so much to eat that I positively dreaded to take my food ; but now my appetite began to re him. Little by little I was able to oat solid food again and coul.i feel it was doing me good." " How did Clements Tonic affect the other very serious symptoms you suffered ?" "These symptoms didn't go all at once, but they got less hi violence every day. I still had a return of palpitation at times, but it wai not nearly so violent, nor did it last so long, and occasionally I felt a little faint ; but as I continued to take Clements Tonic These Troubles Disappeared entirely. Under the influence of thi« remedy I began to feel quite oheerful and bright, and to get some sound and refreshing sleep at night. I wa? soon able to get out of bed and to do a little bit of housework. An improvement was noticeable in m>s every day, aiwl after taking seven small bottles in all, with the exception of being a little thin, I was Entirely Cured, thaiiksto Ciements Tonic. I was still thin, but in a very Short time I got up to my full weight agaiu and I have never been ill since, and I now feel Perfectly Strong: and Well, and can do a day's work or go anywhere alone without the least feeling of weariness or nervousness, and honestly consider Clements Tonic my Salvation.
