LA GRIPPE. THE SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED. The Case of MtsTm. TURNER. [By a Christ'church Reporter.) Mrs. Minnie Turner, of No. 5 Carter's laue (which runs off Chester-Street), Christchurch, recently gave a reporter a friendly welcome, and expressed her deure to have certain facts brought;under the notice of the general community. "It is for the benefit of people who may suffer as I did, that I wish my case enced in such matters I have seen folks almost dying, and yet I was helpless i to assist or advise them, but now that I am in possession of the experience that teaches, other people are quite welcome to profit by it." , . " What is the nature of the complaint which attacked you?" asked the reporter. "Influenza it is called, and very bad I was, too. The first sign of this disease that I had was a dull aching pain in all my limbs. My legs felt so weak and shaky that I could scarcely stand. Indeed, I was qurte unfit for , any mental or bodily exertion. Severe pains in my head worried me to death. I could not do my work, neither could I see to sew, as the splitting headaches almost blinded me. My tongue was white and thickly coated to such a degree that I had no taste for anything. •On the second day of my attack;l was (afflicted with violent pains in the back which made that portion of my body s: tender that I could not lie down withou* feeling extremely uncomfortable. M. ■eyes were red and watery, I was con knually sneezing, and my throat was very sore, which made swallowing a most painful operation. When I come to think of the great amount bf tes and water I used to drink, it seems almost incredible even to myself, but yet I could not get rid of th© feveris! thirst which troubled me, and I coul; note"; keep the temperature dowr. During the day and night I used to ex pectorate a lot of phlegm, a thing' whic ! 'made me fear my lungs were affected Most of this time I was kept awake a night by dreadful fits of coughing, aftc which I laid £~.own distressed and ex hausted, with hot and co'd flashes run ning through me one after th> othe'" I was miserably thin and worn out, nvcheeks being pale and haggard, and *■ am sure if the disease had not beechecked when it was, the consequent would have been very serious. The las drain of vitality had run out of ni system, leaving me a narvous, emaciate wreck." "Was there nothing obtainable h check the ravages of your attack?" "Absolutely nothing, so I thought as all remedies I had hitherto adopter proved futile. I had lost my appet'tcompletely, and my stomach became r-c upset and weak that the sm?ll of food became obnoxious. _ My condition wagetting more critical each day, th< weakening effects of influenza apparent!} being without limit. To continue ii> this way meant sure death, so you eaguess ray despair when everything failec to relieve me. A lady friend called t< see me one day, when I was in a mos* inconsolable and despondent mood. Afte telling her what means I had' resort-"'" to for the purpose of gett'ng relief, she asked me on earth I had nob taker Clements Tonic. "It cured my attack and I'm sure it will cure yours," ehf said. "* Acting on her advice I com menced taking Clements Tonic. I wa r very pleased at the result, for I notice 1 a marvellous change before I had proi half through my first purchase. Thf racking pains in my legs and back soon ceased, my head also get-tint? wonder fully relieved. A remarkable hunger claimed my attention—a sensation I had almost forgotten. The sneezing anc* coughing stopped, thus enabling me to get some sleep. My pulsation became regular, and the general feebleness disappeared. Clements Tonic stopped the progress of my disease, and restored me to robust health.' Since then I have always been,healthy and vigorous. I have recommended Clements Tonic tc other like sufferers, who have always experienced the best results, thus prov- • ~ n !■ i.'i'i _« j.i__j_ . il_J medioine. These facts you may publis': in any way you like."
