Another Win F=KOTS . . . The Case of MrT M. A. WALKEP (EY A DUNEDIN P.ErOETETt*. A melancholy thought that fixes itselt upon one's mind needs as much doctoring as physical disease, so let the hopeless anc careworn be cheered by the ttory told to a reporter by Mrs. Maty Ann Walker, o< Park street, Kens'ngtou, Dunedin, which ii as follows :—: — " When I was gui c a g'rl I used to b« subject to attacks of indigestion ; and then, by some kind interposition of Providence, I did not have another atfack for tivent?-fir« years." Reporter: "Will you be good enough to give me an outline of your latest p.fHictioßS?' Mis. Walker: "Nothing can be raon reatitfy done than that, because I believe in helping other people in the right direction sis much as possible, fiid the be3t way I can do so is to tell them how, and by what means, my physical failings were o^ercome. I do not think thoie are many round here who do not know about it already, as 1 [ have lived iv Dunedin a number of years, , and I have spoken to many of ray friends about the wonderful curing capabilities of ; Clements Tonic, which wad the remedy that ' finally overcame my ailments. It was indigestion that I was suffering from again, and I do not b&lieve there is any worse complain b than that, because the whole system seems to depend upon the assimilative powers of the digestive organs. My last attack Mas very bad indeed, for the pain I had through the wind iv the stomach was something horrible. For some time I was being attended \>y a doctor, Lut the most that was done for me was to give a little 1 temporary relief only. For a day or two I j might have felt a little easier, but the intensity of my afflictions seemed to become j aggravated during those biief spells, , for when they returned the agonies were | almost unbearable. The feeling of oppression in my chest after I had partaken of a j little food was abominable. It appeared- to | me that everything refused to go any further [ than half way down my chest, and cause the breathing tubes to be "intevf ci cd with, as I was often troubled with shortness of breath, and the pains under my shoulder blades used to cause me misery without end. Perhaps the greatest affliction of all was sleeplessness, for it meant that I had to go through the same tortures at night that I bad been experiencing during the day ; *nd what a wretched thing it was to lie au4 have my mind tormented with thoughts that were of the most horrible description ! I always fancied that something droadful was going to happen, and I used to work myself up into such a state of nervous excitement that I trembled in every limb." Reporter : " You would hardly feel f.t for your work after passing such lc&tliss ■lights?" Alr-e. Walker : " I got almost too weak to lo anything, ar.d what with the teriible pains across' ray loins, a- d the seveic headiches I had. 1 really feit as if litV v-W kot vnrth living. At times I nan to iato my .-lungs off on account of tlia severity of the o;vn? in my stomach, and many a nighi» I fiAVP walked the floov because my agonic* wore too great forme to bear whilst lying Jowc. I had r.o appetite afc .ill. and mother thing that turned me agamst the ihoughl of eivisig was the bitter taste in my ! oufh, for everything sc-tmed to have » >:<isty flavour. It was an awfnily mono- ,, i;w ,s life to lead, and if I could LeJp it J vop.lu not go through the same a gam for ivorl-is." Repoit<v: "I understand it was the worst attack you ever had ? " Vas. Walker: "There is no question \ l )out chut, and aa nothing but Clements Tonic could cure me, you can see why I tppreciatc that medicine so much. I was more feeble than I had ever been before, yet? i few bottles of Clements Tonic made me as >trong as ever, and the way it did _fo was t y roakiug my digestion good and giving me an ippetite. The relief from pain I got was 3xtraordinary, and how I used to prize Clements Tonic for the way it made me sleep ! Nothing can equal the same medicine for the nerves either, and for suring headaches aud giddiness, and for taking away the nasty ta^te and making jne's breath nice and sweeb, there is nothing lo come up to Clements Tonic." Reporter : " Were you completely lured ? " Mrs. Walker: "Completely; so foi others' benefit you may publish in any way my story." STATUTORY DECLARATION.
