A SUCH PROOF Us id imitations Oan SHova Kirs. A. CHURCHIUU {BY A SPKCIAL REPORTER.) However modest our means, we can a!3 help someone do something if we will bus consider how. To perform a laudable act, grear, wealth is not always imperative, though, of course, it is sometimes useful ; but in matters similar to those referred to by Mrs. Annie Churchill, of • Kensington, street, South Dunedin, it is only a considerate disposition that is needed to enable usto place before the general reader something that should prove both interesting and profitable. At the commencement of her uarra* tive, Mrs. Churchill said : “ Two years come April I was in very dire straits with my kidneys, and had beesj so for about three years previously. It was a dreadful feeling that always affected me—as if I wanted to do nothing else but sleep, I was living in Christchurch when I was taken ill, and people there could tell you' how dreadful my sufferings were. I could not eat, I could not sleep—even though I waa continually in such a drowsy and depressed condition—for it happened that when 1 re* tired to bed the inclination to sleep went away, owing to my brain becoming active with the most unhappy thoughts, and I could only turn about in a state of restlessness till morning. Never without a bitter taste in my mouth in the mornings, the desire for food was entirely absent, so I had to make myself eat a lilto ; hut how did I have to suffer for it afterwards ? Goodness me ! if I only took a cup of tea I was nearly out of my mind with pains, and any food I had seemed to turn sour, and cause me to ba inflated with wind.s I was then persecuted with what people call windy spasms; and oh, dear ! how terribly severe they were ! ” “ What were you taking to check your sufferings ? ” inquired a special reporter. “ What was I taking ? Why, pretty well everything in the medicine lino that a person could take ; but as much cold watee would have done the same good, for I waa not benefited at all. My head often turned so giddy that I used to think I was going t« tumble down in the street, and my loini, ached so badly that it was really painful to. stand. I dared not move any more than I could help for the violent pains thaa were fixed between my shoulders, but I' think my chest troubles were as bad as any. • The heavy pains there almost had a suffocating effect. Itteemed tome that something had got blocked in my chest, with the result that as I drew my breath I had to lift a weight that caused me pain in the operation. My limbs ached again simply from sheer, weakness, and to show you how thin I got £ may as well tell you that I went from ten atone odd down to eight stone seven.” “ A loss of nearly two stone,” interrupted the writer. q “ Yes. Wasn’t that awful. And a got so utterly nervous that I became excited and timid at the least noise, and could not hear to be in the house by myself at nights. Now that I have told you so much, can yon wonder at my great appreciation of Clements Tonic for. sending away from my life all those physical persecutions? Several'peopla advised me to try it, but I thought it was a lot of nonsense doing so, because I had taken so many medicines before for nothing. Then some German friends wrote and advised me to take Clements Tonic, and between them all I was at length persuaded. Thank God I was ! as I got such wonderful ease from mj agonies after taking two or three bottles oi Clements Tonic that the world was brightei to me than it had been for nearly three years. Before long the pains about my bac'.f and chest had vanished. I started eatinj well, and the effect of Clements Tonic on inj digestion was marvellous. So with my nervous system, and I was so delighted to find that giddiness was not troubling me, and that my strength had all come back. There was such a pacifying influence about Clements Tonic that I could always sleep well, and to that medicine alone I owe ray thanks for quite curing me of my terrible ailments.” “ Have I your permission to use thesfi remarks ? ” You are at liberty to publish them in aej form you want.” STATUTORY DECLARATION.
