" My Broken-down "V System!" ANOTHER TRIUMPH FOB CLEMENTS TONIC. The Oase of Mrs. J, S. HENDERSON. (by a local hbpoetkr.) Oar special writer wended his way to No. 88 Haining Street, Wellington, where MrsJessie Sarah Henderson resides. (< A statement has reached my ears to th« effect that you were very ill some time ago, and that you effected a sensational recovery," •aid the reporter. G> 4* I waa very bad with my liver, it is true-, and the complications which set in almost succeeded in putting me under the soil. I could not eat a bite of food without feeling a sense of great discomfort in my stomach, where the most exasperating pains appeared. Great volumes of wind went roaming about my inside, causing terrible agony, resides making my heart beat about twenty timei quicker than usual. Sensations of choking and mtflfooating always attended these unbearable spasms of wind, and dull, weighty pains came in my chest. My back and loins were the seat of much agony, and my nights' rest were repeatedly spoiled by these visits of torture. In the daytime I felt drowsy and low-spirited. Gradually my energy and vitality died away, until at last I could aot sweep the-floor without being frightfully exhausted. Fainting fits were of daily occurrence. After moving about the house for a while I was seized with a queer dizziaess in my head, and I was obliged to sit down quickly to prevent myself from tumbling down. Then everything revolved in a confused heap before my eyes, and 1 remembered no more till I found somebody bathing my forehead with cold water." "You were evidently very weak !" " Yes, and I got weaker every day. The frail appetite I ontee had now left me, with tiie result that I got reduced to a skeleton. My face was deathly white, and my eyes had fallen deeply into their sockets. Eruptions came out on my skin, a feature which .troubled me greatly, as my flesh'used to be as clear as crystal. Some nights I slept for two or three hours right off, but the dreams I had were so terrible that, on awaking from them, I was afraid to go to sleep again. The most shocking headaches attacked m« continuously, nearly driving me mad. 1 have sat with my head in my hands foi hours, and when I lifted it up again I could not open my eyes for several minutes ii consequence <?£ the violent agony. M 3 i tongue was rough, and covered with an ill-tasting moisture. When I put my feet to the ground on rising in the morning my limbs ached and trembled; I could not I stand for a few seconds without being over* come by exhaustion. My nerves were in ■ state of convulsion all day and night; Sound of any description set them going at' a great rate, and if anything fell down, or a knock came to the door, I trembled and shook like a leaf. I dare not go out in the dark, 9as I had a continual fear that something or somebody was after me. Although I had' the services of several doctors, they could not mend my broken-down system I tried a great many advertised medicine* in vain, and as I had sunk as low as it v possible to get without dying altogether, 1 did not think I was going to live much longer. I would prefer death at any time to lingering on in such abject misery. Th« many failures to obtain relief made me di» heartened and hopeless. At this critical stage a friend called in and urged me to take Clements Tonic. All faith in medicines had deserted me, but I thought as this was th« only physic which I had not yet taken, I might as well try it." "And did you!" "If I had not taken Clements Tonic 1 would 1 have been dead long ago. Yes, I took a rigorous course of Clements Tonic, which acted on my disordered liver like magic, ridding me, in good time, of all my cruel body pains. My nervous system was invigorated, and I soon slept and ate well, Slitting on flesh and getting heavier every ay. Headaches, heart palpitation, and all symptoms of my complaint disappeared. Clements Tonic restored me to perfect health, and I am happy to say that you may publish these remarks for the benefit of other sufferers in any way you please." STATUTORY DECLARATION.
