CHRONIC DYSPEPSIA, PERSISTENT PAIN And OPPRESSION.

A CUMBROUS LOAD LIFTED.

The Case of Mrs. Elizabeth Lambert

(BY OUB SPECIAL BKPORTEB.)

■ Our reporter was detailed to visit Mn , Elizabeth Lambert and ask her concerning the complaint from which slie was once a sufferer, and also to ascertain if the report which had come to hand of her cure was. accurate. Mrs. Lambert resides in Station* street, Penrith, N.S.W. “Certainly it is Correct,"

replied Mrs. Lambert, when questioned. “1 was cured of severe and chronic indi- ■ gestion in quite a remarkable manner. I found that I began to get a very uncomfortable feeling after eating. 'To avoid this distress I paid the most careful attention to my diet; but the oppression was still to be felt after each meal. Slowly my ailment ripened till I could feel a hard lump at the ■ bottom of my chest. Time would pass, and ; still'the' lump remained there undigested. Hours afterwards it would appear to digest, and then wind would begin to collect, which r : distended my body very much in the region of my heart and lungs.” “ Was there much pain ? ” “Very great pain, I can assure you. I never completely got rid of the pa;n, - although I waited Hours without Daring to Eat, Of course, I was obliged to eat something to •keep alive, and although I only ate a little hiof bread, perhaps no bigger than the end <;•’ my thumb, even that would bring on intense pain immediately. The wind generate! owing to bad digestion, and would seem t ■ move about'from place to place, and I on); got a little ease from the pain caused In ■ this flatulence by pressing my bauds he r: against my side. A Sour and Bitter Fluid

often came up into my mouth, causing nr, to have a feeling of sickness. Might timr was the worst. 1 could hardly get a minute', sleep owing to the Persistent Pain and Oppression on the chest, and in the morning 1 v;a; so weary, worn and fagged that I could scarcely get out of bed, ami when up I was too drowsy to get through my housework. . “Did you take nothing for it T' “ Yes; I took several things, hut 1 couldn’t find anything that gave mo Indigestion troubled me so much ami :y long continuance weakened me eery n;.;c.I always Felt Heavy and Languid. and dispirited, and tired of everyj h og. I thought I should never get relict .as a( last 1 heerd of Clements lonic and it ua.so well recommended ilist I bought some and in loss than a week’s lime I began .o got the benefit. By that time I could cat without half the pain and inconvenience that a light meal used <o indict, and the flatulence all went within the first week, too. When lying"' in bed at night (and 1 always took a dose of Clements 'lonic just before bedtime) I felt as tuough a cum* brous weight had been Lifted from my Chest.

My sken was then grateful and as light as a child’s, and when morning came J. rose with a decided appetite and could get about all day without being oppressed by that heavy feeling of wcariucsß and lassitude. The last symptom to go was the feeling like a lump in the chest after eating but by taking my Clements Tonic regularly this was finally removed, and I could claim to be in perfect Irakli.” “-.May we make use of your testimony ?” “ With pleasure. I owe my return to health to Clements Tonic, and I don’t mind ■ anyone knowing it, and I hope that any : information I may have given may prove of benefit to other sufferers.”
