Another Win in Otago.

PKOTS . . . The Case of tJh^Hl. A, WALKER. (BY A DUNEDIN EErOKTEIO. A melancholy thought that; fixes itsel upon one's mind needs as much doclorinj as physical disease, so let the hopeless anc careworn be cheered by the story told to c reporter by Mrs. Mary Ann Walker, o' Park street, Kensington, Dunedin, which if as follows :—: — " When I was gui c a girl I used to b« subject to attacks of indigestion ; and then, by some kind interposition of Providence, J did not have another attack for twenty -five years." Reporter: '-Will you be good enough tc give me an outline- of your latest afflictions?' Mrs. Walker: "Nothing can be mor« leadily done than that, because I believe ie helping other people in the right direction as much as possible, and the best way I can do so is to tell them how, and by what means, my physical failings were overcome. I do not think there are many round here who do not know about it already, as 1 have lived ia Dunedin a number of years, and I have spoken to many of my fiiends about the wonderful curing capabilities oi Clements Tonic, which wad the lemedy that finally overcame my ailments. It was indigestion that I was suffering from again, and I do not bel eve there is any worse complaint than that, because the whole system seems to depend upon the a3timilative powers of the digestive organs. My last attack was very bad indeed, for the pain I had through tho wind in the stomach was something horrible. l ? or some time I was being attended by a doctor, 1 ut the most that was done for me was to give a little temporary relief only. For a day or two I might have felt a little easier, but the intensity of my afflictions seemed to become ."•jt'gravated during those brief spells, for when they returned the agonies were .ilmost unbearable. The feeling of oppression in my chest after I had partaken of a little food was abomirable. It appeared tome that everything refused to go any further than half way down my chest, and cause the bi earning tubes to be interfered with, as I was often troubled with shortness of bieath, and the pains under my shoulder blades used to cause me misery without end. Perhaps the greatest afll cticn of all was i'eeplessness, for ifc meant that I had to go through the same tortures at night that I had been experiencing during tli3 day ; -md what a wretched thing it -was to lie and have my mind tormented vith thoughts that were of the most horrible description ! [ always fancied that something uroadful \«, as going to happen, and 1 used to work iiiystlf up into such a, state of nervous excitement that I trembled in every limb." Reporter : " You would hardly fee! nrfot >our woik after pa&srng such restless nights ? " Mr*. Walker : " I got almost too weak to lo anything, and what with the terrible pains across my loins, acd the severe h-.-ad iches 1 bail, I really felt as if life w?.s not •I'trth living. At times I had to take my hings off on account of the severity of the pains in my stomach, and many a night I iiave walked the floor because my agonies were too great forme to bear vluJs' lying lown. I had no appet.ite at all, and mother thing that turned me rgair'f the thought of ea i:;g was the 1 itter ta3t« 5u my ii'outh, for e\eiytliin<* sernud to Jmvc a nasty flavour. It was an avi fully monotonous hie to !eaJ, and if I lould help it 1 would not go tlnough the same again for worlds." Repotter: "1 understand it was th.3 worst attack you ever lad ? ' Mrs. Walker: "'Jhere is no question ibont that, and as nothing but Clements Tonic could cure me, you can see why I j-ppreeiate that medicine so much. I wan more feeble than I had ever been before, yet i few bottles of Clements Tonic made me as itrong as ever, and the way ifc did fo was fry making my digestion good and ghing me an ippetite. "The relief from pain 1 got wsls sxiraorOinary, aiul how I used to prirc Clements Tonic for the way it made me -leep ! Nothing can equal tho samo medicine for the nerves lithcr, aud for 3 'ring headaches and giddiness, and for taking away the nasty ta-te and making ji.e's Lteath'niee and rweer, theie is nothing io come up to Clements 'icnic.'' Reporter: "Were jon completely :iucd?'' A.'is. Walker: "Completely; so for jthers 1 benefit you may publish in any w-y my story.'" STATUTORY DEOIARATIOX.
