A Case of General Debility. OIK OF COMPLETE - PROSTRATION. Unable to Stand from Sheer Exhaustion. The Case of Mrs. B. HORNE.

(BY A SPECIAL REPORTER.) In responding to instructions, a reporter ▼isited the residence of Mrs. Belle Home, which is situated at 11 Taranaki Street. W - llingtoa. >1 am commissioned to enquire into the remarkable recovery from illness which it is announced you have made, ” said the newspaper mau.

“I shall be most happy,” said Mrs. Horne, “ to answer any questions it may please you to put, especially if you propose to bring'my case under the notice of the public for the benefit of other sufferers.”

“That is precisely the idea, Mrs. Horne. What was your complaint?” “ I suffered for two years or more from a general break-up of my constitution. I suppose you would call that general debility. At all events 1 was so completely prr-stiatcd that I was laid up for some considerable time, and I was frequently compelled to leave off my housework eveu when my distressing symptoms were loss acute tlian usual. This state of affairs Mas broug.it about by a feeling of excessive languor, which was so pronounced as to make me disinclined to do the trifling light duties of a household, which I had previously taken so much pleasure in attending to. My head had either a continual dull, heavy ache, or else it was afflicted with sharp', piercing pains. There was not a particle of colour left in my face, my skin being as white m death. My ere* were always aching, and they became so weak that I could not bear the light of day. Then, again, I had violent pains in She chest after sating, as well terrible spasms of agony in my where the food lay in a cold, hard lump.’ I had severe attacks of vomiting, particularly on getting up from bed in the mornings. My back and loins were not exempt from torture either, and the pains were ao unrelenting that they kept me awake at night.” “ You must have found the want of sleep very trying ? ”

" " as killing me l»y inches. I tried all sorts of devices and expedients to send me to sleep, but it Mas very rarely obtained. Sometimes, when I was tUa<l tired. 1 had a heavy doze for a couple of hours, but 1 always felt more depressed on awaking, and my limbs ached unme cifully. Whilst rov feeble appetite held out 1 did not enjoy my food on account of a most repulsive taste ni my mouth. But in a little while 1 could not force myself to swallow oven a tablespoonful of food. My stomach revolted at the smell of cooking.*’ “ Wow did yon hold out without ratine ? ”

“1 became dreadfully thin and weak. When I stood up 1 felt faint and dizzy, and I often stumbled and fell from sheer exhaustion. My system was in .» frightful stale of nervousness. 1 Mas afraid to move for fear of something dreadful happening.'’ “ Did you have the advice ot a doctor?” “1 had several doctors attending me, but they di«l not improve my condition in the least. After two years’ physical suffering I was confronted with some dotnet.tr troubles, which helped i»> complete the m reek effected by the progress of my stealthy disease. 1 was now lom- spirited ami morose, especially as there seemed no chance of ever regaining my health. The doctor s nudi emes were utterly powerless to do me good. The taste of them made me sick nn.l oppressed me beyond description. If 1 had continued taking them much longer 1 am sure 1 would have died.” “What prompted you to discon tinnothe doctors' medicines ? ” “The first reason is that they did me more harm than good. ’IV second reason is that 1 read about a ls.K who had been cured of the same disease as mine bv Clements Tonic. I bought some nix self, and 1 was BOM eon* in. ed that I wa Clements Tonic imparted vigor and tone to paina. I could now <*at freely u-ithout pam or discomfort. 1 became i « lively every day as 1 found getting stronger and stouter. Clemenis Tonic also made mo sleep well, and 1 continued with the same medicine until my disease was Conquered., Five years have passed since Clements Tonic cured me, ami to show niv gratitude you may publish my expel nine any way you choose.” STATUTORY DKn M'trtON. 1.
