Tba Case of Mr«. M. BARNETT;

• • (By dm Auddtud Stpprttr). .•_; Recently, travelling, io 1 Henleyftiiet, Parnell, Auckland, the reporter paia A call at xthe jreiidenoe of Mri. May Bar>. netfc, which is so situated as to.com--mand a magnificent view of, the en"ohimting Auckland harbour. "May I take a few notes respecting' your late troubles," asked the reporter. "Certainly, you may. , I shall be most pleased to give all the information yon require. Indeed, I think my case ought to be advertised all over the world, so that r everybody may know what to do in- case of necessity."' "What was 'your particular ailment P" "I was really suffering : from head to foot from a complication' of complaints in course of time but the ailment from whioh I experienced the greatest torture was neuralgia, ■ and my system waa wrecked so perfectly by the agonies I had to contend with, that I became a martyr 'to all sorts of disorders. .It i* about five years ago now. since I waa attacked by the most terrible pains in the face and head. The extreme .torture which I suffered for seven weeks, 'Without an hour's cessation ta «o clearly impressed on my mind that I am not likely to ever forget what the symptoms were like. Terrific jumping pain* rushed ronnd my head add neck, making me almost insane. I wu to worn out with those continual paroxyama of brain racking agonies that I waa onable to attend to my household affairs. The torture got worse as time advanced, and I often felt that I could kill rayself. I am sure I was mad when the neuralgic pains were -at the height of their acutenoM, aa I have done things on those occasions which I would never hare dreamed of doing if. I had not lost my Millet. I could not sleep at night, the approaoh of which I dreaded, for then the anguish and torment wen frightful. ■' The 1 lighteat' sound startled aad nptet me, so completely shattered Were my turret. . Indeed, I waa m nervous that I wu afraid of my owa shadow, and if anybody spoke to ma untaDjotedly. I received raoh • shook thj* I trembled all onr. l.Jmaun* terr oroe* and irritable. ' ' Bo would anybody eIM under the cireumataneea. My jawa were so painful and sore that1 donld *6t eat, and I- wae thin and miserabl*, with a fellow.- unhealthy :£6lour iii my fac#< People hare Mid I looked io deaithlf that they have m» taken me for a ghost." .. , " What were the coraplioatirtia of am «ajnU you referred toP* • ■ "Well, my digtttrre orgaat weM greatly- wtakened and upaet, as ahowa by the pains' ia my stomach whenever I swallowed a -little milk -diet. Then my appetite died -away entirely, and 1 I had no inclination to eat or drink : anything. Thus I sank lower and lower," the life being daily dragged onl| *of me 1 by tho torment whioh affected my brain." ' ' ' ."Did yon try Anything to obtain iw* ; IMP '. " I' took every medicine imaginable, beside* reporting to many old-fash'.oned remodiee and applications of hot bandage* but t&* only relief I got waa from the 'latter. 'which lasted a minute or two,, and then my suffering* would coma on' again with donble the vengeance. I .thought there was nothing 'to cure me, and -tkat ,my suffering* would continue to my' dying day. But my hueband's aneritnoe proved of great serTip* in'thu.way. My husband one . tune caught a severe cold, which settled on hi* lungs, and -his health was altogether •battered: He was weak and debilitated •toT an alarming degree, and oould find 'nothing to do him good till ho commenced -taking- Clements Tonic, whioh built him ttp splendidly, and Made him strong-' and well." -.When all' ■wtiiriato had -fnifai in mvoMe, my hutbud thoiKhJtjJplejjtant*' Tonic -should -ber ftveQ' aT'cnahce, *o I accordingly Ijought aomo, aad. a beneficial influenc*. waa ioon apparent. I ro*e from my state Of prostration Tory quickrr, through dementi Tonio, which gave tone and steadiness to my nerves, and decreased My pains," which gradually disappeared Altogether.
