AN INVALID FOE 12 YEARS

Mrs Fanny Dent, wife of a gentleman employed in the Lambton Colleries, kindly allows us to publish the folio wing facts of her interesting base and wonderful rerecovery, which we gather from her correspondence, and which we shall be glad to allow Anyone to peruse who wishes to do so.

Mrs Dent had been in a state of extreme debility for twelve years, frequently quite unable to do any work, the lightest kind causing great fatigue, with severe paina in the limbs, back and left side. So severe was the pain that she would have to sit or lie down frequently. Walking exercise was very trying and she could only walk very slowly. She had long seen Clements Tonic advertised, but like many more people her husband was prejudiced against " patent medicines," but (now we use her own words) ' I knew some one who had tHed Clements Tonic, and I decided to get a bottle on the quiet and say nothing about it if it did me no good. The effect I thought something wonderful. I felt better after the first dose, aad by the time I had taken half a bottle I was a different woman. My husband, friends and neighbours soon noticed the change in me, and they could not make it out. I had to tell the truth that it was Clements Tonic that was making me strong. I could 1 not keep the secret, I was only too glad to give the credit to Clements Tonio. After finishing the bottle, work was no trouble to me, but rather a pleasure, and after doinsr a heavy day's washing I could go for a walk instead of having to go to bed, as always happened before taking Clements Tonic. One of my neighbours said to me last week, ' Why, Mrs Dent, you are doing wonders this week, how is it you are so strong now P' She knew I had done more that week than I had been able to do in twelve tears before (she had known me this time for I am an old resident of this locality, having lived here for 15 years). I replied, ' Yes, I feel a wonder to myself, so I'll tell you the secret. I have been taking Clements Tonic, and I cannot tell you the benefit I have derived from it. You know what my sufferings have been and now I have a genuine taste of good health.' " Mrs Dent wrote us those particulars of her remarkable cure in March. She wisely, however, decided to continue the medicine to ' clinch the cure ' as it were. Some time afterwards she wrote as follows : — Waratali Commonage, N.B.W. Dear Sir, — It is with great pleasure that I pen these few lines. I have been as you, know a great sufferer from weakness and debility for years. I was under severa doctors but they never did me any goodl I DESPAIRED OF EVER BEING BETTER, but as I stated in my last letter I saiu Clements Tonic advertised. I tried a bottle and its effect was something wonderful. I felt better almost immediately, and was a new woman after finishing the first bottle. Before talcing Clements Tonic it was a great trouble even to do a little house-work, but afteroeards, my work was a pleasure and my friends and neighbours were surprised at the change in me. I cannot say too much in praise of it, and can only gratefully describe my case and strongly advise all who suffer from weakness, backache, pain in the side, ringing noises in tlie ears and shortness of breath to take Clements Tonic. I am sure it do them as much good as it has done me. Yours Gratefully, F\NNY DENT. We hive great pleasure in thanking this lady for allowing us to publish the case. We constantly hear of similar ones which people object to have published through a false delicaoy. We only want to publish them in the interests of suffering humanity. Surely it is not wrong for people to acknowledge the genuineness and reliability of an article, when they have proved it to possess the properties we claim for it.
