Th© Tortures and Miseries of DYSPEPSIA:

The Case of Mrs. E. LUNN. (BT A WELLINGTON REPORTER.) Instructions were received by our reporter to institute inquiries into a matter concerning which it was necessary to interview Mrs. Emma Lunn, of No. 11. Brook-street, Thornton, Wellington. • " You have had a very bitter experience lately, lam told," Baid the writer. " May I encroach upon your kindcess for the details ! " - " Most willingly. Of course you mean my illness, and you wish to know, I suppose, how I recovered. Quite » number of people have asked me the same question, and although I have related the facts over and over again, I feel myself und-T such a great obligation for the blessing of my present good health that I am always ready to impart the secret of my recovery for the consideration of suffering humanity. To begin with, I may tell you that I suffered terribly with indigestion about twelve months ago. Everything I ato went wrong in my stomach, creating insufferable discomfort and pain. Even a piece of toast caused intense agony in my Btomach, whero it lav like a heavy, tolid lump of clay. My chest felt compressed and uncomfortable, and I could not breathe without feeling sharp pains every time I drew my breath. Very often I was troubled with spasms of wind which emanated from the sour, undigested food, and then succeeded » period of anxiety and tdrture. My heart uaed to palpitate to a frightful extent, making me fear that it was diseased. A feeling as though some sharp instruments were being pressed between my shoulders camo on, and there was a dull sickly pain at the bottom of my ribs. All day I felt drowsy and fatigued, as though I had been working hard for a week without any sleep, whereas, as a matter of fact, I could not 1 work at all." 11 Did your complaint really affect you bo I badly as that 1" , " Yes, it is perfectly true, I was so exluvusted and run down that I had no energy i left. I lost as much vitality through sleeplessness aa from any other cause. Indeed, I was often on the verge of collapse for tho want of sleep. After turning about ».li night in bodily puin and mental worry I used to get up like one rising from the grave. • My limbs ached from head to foot, and as soon as I started to move about I felt dazed and giddy. As my complaint tightened its grasp upon my debilitated system the more weak and miserable I became, and I now never felt the least sensation of hunger. I had long since lost al) colour, my face now being thin and agedlooking. My tongue was moist with an sffensive coating, the bitter taste of which was always in my mouth. The great strain apon my shattered constitution seriously effected my -nerves. At one time, before my illness, I could face anything withouc fear, but now I was so nervous that I disliked being by myself in the houso. Right from tho commencement of my distressing illness I suffered daily from blinding headaches. Intense agony shot up to the top of my head, making it impossible to think of anything excepting the frightful agony I was in. There was not a moment's peace for me in life, and when I had been struggling hopelessly oa with my doctor's medicines for many months I fell into a ttate of melancholy and despair. I did not expect to regain my health by any other means after the failure of my doctor to even give slight relief." "" " But you did get better. How did it happen ? " " A lady who had suffered from debility for years, and was cured by Clements Tonic, heard about my sufferings »nd called to see me. She told me that Clements Tonic waa bound to cure me if I would give It a trial. I did so, and that accounts for my present good health. I was an utter wreck, but Clements Tonic welded my broken fragments of health together by restoring jny liver to proper working order, and my digestive organs were soon made perfect. Clement Tonic drove away my pains, gave me an appetite, and peaceful Bleep. In a short while Clements Tonic had mastered my complaint, and I have not been •ill since. Therefore you can publish my statements in any way you like. ' STATUTORY DECLARATION.
