Relates her Remarkable Recovery.

The Case of Mrs. Sarah Dover.

{From the Windsor " Australian.") BT OUR SPECIAL KIPOHTIB. A representative of this paper in the eouwe of his duty took a walk in the S^& Oil ** Erancia Street, Richmond, JJ.B.W., «nd, knocked at the door of Mrs. f T ?"*l*i» opened bjr * rery pleasant"Do I flptak tpi Mn. Dover t " queried the newspaper^man. " You.do, 1 ' ihe^nfwered, with a emile. ••Then will you bermit me to make a rtpert.of your case f" "With pleasure," and after asking our reporter to come in and take a seat she immediately dived into a relation of the facts of her illness. "I can assign no reason for it," she commenced, " but I gradually Began to Fall Away. Day by day I grew thinner and paler. I vwurtold I was suffering -from anaemia, or a Want of red blood corpuscles in my veins. A doctor attended me, and prescribed for me. I took his medicine for along time. His physic, however, was not able .to relieve me, and I had to give it up. As I got worse the most frightful headaches began to affect me. The pain was like an iron band tightening round my head. Indigestion came on. The fact was, I waß too weak to digest my food. The digestive fluids in my stomach were too deficient to break it up and dissolve it, and all I ate lay like a heavy substance within me. Instead of digesting it would ferment, causing wind, ■welling, and acute pain. When my meals were placed before me I could only eat a few mouthful*, and then felt quite orick. That bitter taste was always in my mouth, my eyes became deep and sunken, dark rings encircled them, and 1 began to wear the haggard' appearance of + Extreme Suffering; My lips were a palish blue, my cheeks pallid and sunken, and I looked years older thanTdonoir. 1M ~ ' "Did you *off«r from Anything else?" asked the reporter. " I did, lam sorry to say. You haven't heard the half of my troubles yet ? Sleep I could not. All night I lay wide awake, tortured with Frightful Nervous Headaches and yet not able to get a moment's rest. Night after night I was abandoned by «leep- In the day-time I was listless and indifferent to all that was going on around me. This feeling of lassitude was so heavy npon ; me that it took me some minutes to make up my mind to even rise from a seat. Iww too tired to read, and that I onnsider A Very Bad Sign." *«!Tott couldn't go on like* this for long," said' the newspaper man j "you couldn't live without sleep, you know." "No. I had to get sletp at any price. I was forced to have • Recourse to Morphia - to obtain an hour or two's respite from my intense headaches. ' Of course I needed an increased dose every time that I wished to go to sleep. But my general health continued to get worse, and I was now troubled with^th* reaction of the sleeping draughts which -I, had been taking. This added .to my weakness. At last it was only with the greatest difficulty that I could walk, or rather hobble, across the room. My nerves began to give way. I was very timorous and fearfaLO The least thing would startle me. . I WjM always turning my head round expecting to see something terrible behind me, and of ten enough I ehQuld be seized with a fancy quite realistic, and which 1 «ooU not drive ftway, that* food wm just

about to be placed on my shoulder; and often I would fall into A Fit of Trembling over nothing at .all. I had gloomy forebodings as to the future. The blessingof good health seemed so far away from me that I never expected to attain it again. 1 got weaker and weaker. I thought my vital spark was going out. I was laid in bid, m>t being strong enough to sit up. . The doctors could do nothing for me,- except to continue to dose me with morphia." "I wonder you were able to support ljfe so long under these circumstances," suggested the reporter. "I have a good constitution," replied Mrs. Dover, "otherwise I should have gone out Like An Exhausted Lamp, "but I was nearly dead. It's almost a miracle I ever got off my bed again." "And how did you manage it? " " In this -way : .1 was listlessly letting my eyes wander over a newspaper, an«l I came across an account of a case where a larly had dwindled into a mere skekton through Impoverishment of the Blood, but who had ultimately boon restored to perfect health through the use of Clements Tonic. Here's a possible chance for me, I said to myself. God kuows but that reme.iy might contain that something which is lacking in my blood. I consulted a friend, and the result was that I commenced a regular course. of Clements Tonic:." " Did you get an immediate effect 1 " " Could I expect that in a case like mine ? But in a few jdays I found *I could sleep without the morphia, and I could tell by ' that, and by the fact that I never trembled now, that my nerves were being strengthened. Then, as my colonr improved, I knew Clements Tonic wasbeginning to put Vitality Into My Blood, for colour began to show in my skin. I did away with morphia altogether n>w — it was no longer necessary. Although siill very weak I could soon digest light food, and began to take quite an interest in what 1 was to have for dinner. I took no alcoholic stimulant whatever. I found it quite unnecessary. The -stimulating properties of Clements Tonic were quite snffi'cient. -tAy headaches altogether 'disappeared, and a' last" there was nothing more : lor: Oleineut> Tonic to do than to put more Flesh On My Bonce. My nerves were as true as steel." "Then I am to presume that Clements Tonic completed your restoration to health?" 11 Most decidedly ; I soon became as robust as you see me now, and in perfect health in every way. This is the result of Clements Tonic, aud, believe me, I am not ungrateful." •'Then I can put this in the Windsor Australian." " I Bhall have positive pleasure in seeing it there, for humanity's sake."
