A PERMANENT RELIEF. The Orb© *f Mrc. A. ELUSSON. (BT A SPECIAL REPORTER.) One cannot help pitying the poor ahop girls, generally pale, anaemic lasses, wh some home night after night from their work weary and often almost sick with the pain it this disagreeable complaint. Not only ire they raoked with the pain itself, but shey are depressed arid melancholy and apprehensive of all kinds of trouble befailing shem. Life itself is, as Mrs. Alys Ellisson, *it Ne. 51 Athol Place, Dunedin, called it, " a sad trial" in case? of this kind; but it may comfort others to hear her story in. full. "For a.very long time," said Mr.*. E lissou, *'l was suffering from what is teimed poorness of bleoel, arid I can honestly assert tlrafe the misery, caused by that complaint can hardly be credited excepting by those who we suffering in the same way. I used to have the most "terrible pains in tlie head that mortal could be afflieted with, Mid all the time I seemed to >• wearing away to nothing. One would have thought, to judge by the paleness of my face, that there was scarcely any bloo* in my body, but that did not treuble me so much as the {act of being so weak." "Were you able to do your own housework ? " asked the reporter. "1 only wish I had been able," was the response. No; unfortunately, I was too weak for that, and so I had to employ a girl to_do it for me. I was held by such an excessive feeling of languidness that I could not bestir myself to assist in the house, no matter how much I would have liked to, and in everything that the least, energy I found myself sadly wanting. To Oe in this helpless predicament had a very depressing effect upon me, and in course of time the outlook was all the more gloomy because my appetite had entirely gone. A person cannot live without eating, so I had bo take food against my inclination, and it ilways disagreed with me. It was bad enough having to force myself to eat, but when the food would not digest it was dreadful. I used to get a very heavy feeling in the cheafcand flatulence caused me a lot if uneasineSrsoon after my miserable meals were .finished. Something was decidedly wrong- with my heart, too, because it used to give three jumps like, and then I would feel a stifling, sensation in my throat as though I were __ going to choke. Violent palpitations of ten continued for a long time, Mid during those attacks -the horrible thoughts that took possession of my mind were enough to make anybody anxious. A very acute pain in the lower part of my back gave rise to much intense suffering ; but for the matter of that there seemed to be an aching sensation right through my body, the consequence being that I could hardly move without aggravating my torture. Owing to the peculiar taste in my mouth, everything seemed to bo bitter : but I suppose that unpleasantness originated through the disordered condition of my stomach The doctor who was trying to cure me said that I was quite run down, and if you bad seen the way my nerves used to shake you would have thought so, too." " How did you get along with his medicines 1" "No better than I would have done without them, and for my own sake I am Borry to have to tell you such a thing. I did not improve in the slightest degree by taking those vile physics, not even the giddiness with whicli I suffered being remedied by them, neither did they make me any more restful than I was. It was strange how restless I remained' for hoiirs after going to bed when you take inio consideration how weary I always felt, yet It was so ; and then when I did sleep I did not feel any better for it, although I slept eery© heavily when once I gob a start. Besides the doctor's treatment I had taken several medicines I read about, and when they also failed to do me any good it looked as if nothing could cure me. It w* , when my wretchedness seemed complete that somebody came and recommended rait to try Clements Tonic, and to this day ] have "not lo t my feelings of gratitude te the person who gave me that advice." _. V Then it must have proved very senrieev able to you ?" . . '.;■' " My word it did, and I shall always pan the same advice on to other sufferers. De you know that.l was so ill that I was in hospital for three weeks at one time, so yoo may judge that I have not been exaggerating in what I have told you; and after sacb bitter experiences as mine were .I have every right to be thankful to Clements Tonic fot ha\ ingmademeadifferent womanaitoge'tlier.v About the very first thing thatClementsToaie did for me was to lessen to an appreciable \ extent..the pains that/;were located in toy li--ad, and it yon only knew how Migiiish they had caused me you could judge ' :; how delighted I was when they had gone*. completely. • It was like being freed frontljf bondage, and as I continued with the same v remedy I was'helped'in other ways. I had i noo been using Clements Tonic many dayaj/ when I to l«*k forward to. meal-tinuvl _ with an interest that I had not known Sat*. years, f»r my appetite was, so improved that! could enjoy almost anything, and there wat , very little discomfort —sometimes not any—* r after my meals. Later on my digestion ga» so sound that I could take any sort of food without the least fear of trouble arising; and the best of it all-was that I was gaining strength from the food that Clements Toute enabled me to eat. It seemed such a simple thing for the action, of my heart to become regular again, but' it was only this last medicine of mine that could make it so, and that is one of the reasons why I place Clements Tonic so high above everything X had tried before. When I slept whilst using that grand remedy it was not of the same, heavy and unrefreshing character as before, far when I got up I felt thoroughly rested and contented with everything, instead of being depressed and at loggerbeads with everything around me. My whole life was changed for the better, foe when the weary aches had left my limbs and I was no longer bothered with giddiness, flatulence and pains in the various parts of my body, I was quite unlike the same woman who had been suffering so long. < I could tell that my blood had been enriched and purified by Clements Tonic, because my vitality was so greatly increased and my - complexion was so much clearer, and yon would be surprised at the wonderful improvement in my nerves which the same medicine effected." " I suppose you picked up weight again *" " Oh, yes; and after taking several bottles of Clements Tonic I was so strong and hearty that I could do my own housework once more, and that was a lot to be thankful for. When I left off taking the medicine that cured me of my wretched ailments.! resolved to let similar, sufferers know what Clement? Tonic could do, so you may publish these facts in any way."
