A Wretched and Hopeless Existence. HEALTH FULLY RESTORED. The Case of ‘ Mrs- Elizabeth Mitchell. {Fromthe Windsor , N.S. W., “Australian”). (B 7 our special reporter. ) News was brought to the office that Mrs. Elizabeth Mitchell, of March-street, Richmond, N.S.W., had been afflicted with dropsy and accessory symptoms, and had recovered in a manner that was As Remarkable as Complete. In consequence a reporter was instructed to make the closest enquiries and elicit the full details of the case. Mrs. Mitchell kindly volunteered to furnish the fullest details. “I found myself gradually losing my health,’’ said that lady. “I felt heavy and dispirited, and My Head always Ached. Pains between the shoulders made themselves felt, and a sharp, alarming pain in the side racked me suddenly now and then.” ‘ ‘ From what did this pain in the side arise ?” “ The doctor said it was from my heart, and indeed my heart often used to flutter strangely, and. sometimes I should go quite faint, and would nearly Lose Consciousness Altogether. The rest I obtained at night was so disturbed and deficient, and I was so weak and fagged in the day time that I couldn’t get through my work. Indeed, sometimes I should be so sick and faint that I was forced to go to bed in the middle of the day.” “ What else, Mrs. Mitchell ? ” “My legs began to swell. Sometimes the swelling would extend to my foot, and I was not able to get on my shoes. Sometimes my legs would get gradually larger for days, and then they would decrease in size for a time, leading me to believe that I was getting better; but the hope was always disappointed, for, after a short respite, they would commence to swell again.” “ What was the swelling like ?” “.The skin was of a whitish colour, and when a finger was pressed on the place it would leave the mark for a long while. When my legs were very bad it was Very Painful to Walk, unfl I often hail to lio up from this cause." “ How was the appetite ? ” “ Very bad ; juts' a little light food and a cup of tea throe limes a day ; nob nearly enough to keep up my strength to fight against my complaint.” ■' Well, how did you get on ? ” “Got worse all the time. I could sec 1 was going down hill and getting wcaUct every day. I was dragging out a Wretched and Hopeless Existence, when I board that one of my relatives, who was very HI, was obtaining great benefit from the use of Clements Tonic, and I at once obtained some.” “ Any distinct effects? ” “ Yes, upon my heart. Clements Tonic certainly Steadied the Heart’s Action, for my heart gathered strength every day, and I was troubled no more with that feeling of faintness. Then I noticed, with a great deal of satisfaction, that the swelling in my legs was gradually decreasing, and showed nq signs of growing up largo again. The (lo.sh was firmer, too, and had a healthier appearance, I kept taking 'Jlcmeuts Tome, and X gradually got rid oi the swelling altogether, and my legs became as strong and healthy as my arms.” “ How about your general health !” “ Oh, Clements Tunic Did Me Good All Over. I could get my rest at nights now, and come to my meals with an appetite, and I was soon rid of the various ailments that had accompanied my dropsy,” “I presume I have your consent to publish this?" “ (Jib yea ! certainly.” STATUTORY DECLARATION.

A rather remarkable hen’s egg was on view at Carterton the other day. There was an indented impression on the shell resembling a diminutive sunflower, looking just as if it had been stamped on when the egg was in a soft state. The fowls had been feeding on sunflower seeds. To The Public.
