ANOTHER DUNEDIN DYSPEPTIC FINDS A REMEDY. The Casa of Mrs. L. SGDTT. i (By a Local Jti-porter.) Mrs. Louisa Scott, of 38 St. "DairiA ! street, DtiiitcUn, although ia the midsi ol preparation for the approaching fei-' tniiie^> of Christmas and iSew Yeai when our reporter called, said she was a t \>ay& prepared to devote an hour 01 tt>o m o-ibCUfcsing the details oi liei exceptional experience. " I hear that you muWwcnt a great change some months ago?" remarked the r.eponer. "So I did," replied Mrs. Scott. " Until this last year or so I was a big, stout woman, and hardly ever knew what it -was to feel tired, although I u\eu to work very hard. In fact, I worked too hard, for whicli I suffered severely. When I had got about half way through my meals a sudden sense of fulness came on, as though I would choko if I iite another mouthful. Then niy stomach swelled out with wind, thetendorness also being so great that I couid not bear any clothes on. My appetite was very capricious,, as I was quite ravenous some days, whilst on others I could not eafc at all. A dull pain settled in my chest, whii&t at all times I experienced great agony between my shoulders. Worse than all, I feot so debilitated that I had to give up my housework. Aft&r the most feeble efforts to do anything a sinking* feeling came over me and I was prostrated for che rest of the day. The most hideous thoughts preyed upon my miad tvheu I laid down with the intention of going to sleep, my thoughts wandering over fearful imaginations so> persistently that I could not even get a short doze. I became a perfect victim to insomnia, and have gone for weeks without sleep. This had such a stupifying effect upon my brain that I gazed upon everything and everybody around me with tha& strange bewildered expression which is seen in persons who are partly demented. I could not collect my thoughts for a moment, and as I lay in a sort of dead weakness I could hear everything said and done, yet I could not speak. My tongue, which was covered with a white coatingj seemed to be paralysed, for it often happened when I wanted to say something that I could net make a* distinct utterance." " Were you alarmed at your condition', Mrs. Scott?" "I can assure you that I -a as always worrying and fretting, as I was afraid I was sinking away. My nerves were quite shattered. I started and quivered from head to foot at the least thing, If a neighbour came round to the hack door and I happened to be near it, as soon as I beard the sound ol a, voico I screamed aloud in terror. Iteally, my iife was not worth living, as I was always twitching nervously as though I had St. Vitus' dance, and my head.' ached so unmercifully that I thought it would split. Across the loins the niosi> terrible pains existed, antl the continuance of these ma-ladies brought me down, to a miserable shadow, besides being, very yellow in appearance. The simple act of bending down made me feel giddy on. raising my head, when a. mist also came before my eyes, the sigtht of which, was in a very imperfect state. By the time all those symptoms were fully developed my stomach was in such a weak condition that I could not retain even invalid foods, the smell of which turned me against it. My digestive apparatus was completely out of order, so that it wa3 impossible for anything to nourish me." " I pxpeet you tried very hard to gefc relief?" "Of course I did. My doctor said I had diabetes very far advanced and treated me accordingy. Sometimes I used to think hi 3 physic was doing me a little good, and shortly after, I was _ just as bad as ever. The relief was only temporary, so at last I gave him up and started taking Clements Tonic as a last experiment. The result was this : My nerves were made sound, swellinga and stomach pains ceased, insomnia was cured, digestion restored, aches and torments banished — all by the use of Clements Tonic, which made me healthy and happy. To similar sufferers I em> phatica'ly recommend Clements Tonic, and you can publish my testimony anj way you deem advisable." STATUTORY DECLARATION. I, Louisa. Scott, of No. 38 St. Da\ id-street, Dunedin, in the Colony ot New Zealand, do solemnly and sincerely declare that I have carefully iead the annexed document, consisting of two folios, and consecutively numbered from one to two, and that it contains and is a true and faithful account of my illness and cure by Claments Tonic, and also contains my fnlV permission to publish in any way my statements— wh'ch I give voluntarily, witheut receiving any paymervt; and I raatce this solemn declaration, conscientiously believing the same to be true, and by virtue of the provisions of an Act of the G-neral Assembly of New Zealand, intit>- c.-i "The Justices of Peace Act 1882."

— Sir Arthur Sullivan's last completed work was, like his first composition, intended for the use ot the Church. In this instance the setting of the Te Deum has a special significance, as it is intended tc. be used as a song of thanktgivhig for the conclusion of tbe South African war. Following an established etistom, Sullivan ha« in this work, made fiee use of a weli-kuown hymn tune, hh setting of the P.c^ . H. Bar ing Gould's "Onward, Christian «r>ldier£,' tbe "MarseiUaise," as it has bct-n called, of tha Church militant. The Tc Deus is essentially of a military character,
