THE SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED.

The Case of Mrs. M. TURNED

{Bj/ a Christchurch Reporter,)

Mrs. Minnie Turner, of No. 5 Car ter's lane (which runs off Chester-street), Chratchurch, recently gave a reporter a friendly welcome, and expressed her de sire to have certain facts brought under the notice of the general community. "It is for the benefit of people who may suffer as I did, that I wish my case to be made known, remarked th© above named lady. "Before I became experi enced in such matters I have seen folks almost dying, and yet I was helpless to assist or advise them, but now that I am in possession of the experience that teaches, other people are quite welcome to profit by it. " What ia the nature of the complaint which attacked you?" aaked the re porter. "Influenza ifc is called, and very bad I was, too. The first sign of this disease that I had was a dull, aching pain in all my limbs. My legs felt bo weak and shaky that I could scarcely stand. Indeed, I was quite unfit for any mental or bodily exertion. Severe pains in my head worried me to death. I could not do my work, neither could I see to sew, as the splitting headaches almost blinded me. My tongue? was white and thickly coated to such a de gree that I had no taste for anything. On the second day of my attack I was afflicted with violent pains in the back, which made, that portion of my body so tender that lE^could not lie down without feeling extremely uncomfortable. My ayes were red and watery, I was con tinually sneezing, and my throat waa Very sore, which made swallowing & most painful operation. When I come <:o think of th© great amount of tea and water I used to drink, it seems al most incredible even to myself, but yet I could not get rid of tho feverish thirst which troubled me, and I could not , keep the temperature down. During the day and night I used to ex pectorate a lot of phlegm, a thing which made me fear my lungs were affected. Most of this time I was kept awake at night by dreadful fits of coughing, after which I laid down distressed and ex hausted, with hot and cold flashes run ning through me one after the other. I was miserably thin and worn out, my cheeks being pale and haggard, and I am sure if the disease had not been checked when it was, the consequences would have been very serious. The last drain, of vitality had run out of my (System, leaving me a nervous^ emaciated wreck."

"Was there nothing obtainable to check the ravages of your attack P" "Absolutely nothing, so I thought, as all remedies I had hitherto adopted proved futile. I had lost my appetite completely, and my stomach became bo upset and weak that the smell of food became obnoxious. My conditioa-^vas getting more critical each, day, the weakening effects of influenza apparently being without limit. To continue in this way meant sure death, so you can guess my despair when everything failed to relieve me. A lady Mend called to see me one day, when I was ia a most inconsolable and defipoadenfc mood. After telling her what means I had resorted fco for the purpose of getting relief, she asked me why oa earth I had not taken Clements Tonic. "It cured my attack, and I'm sure it will cure yours," she said. Acting on her advice I com menced taking Clements Tonic. I was very pleased at the result, for I noticed a marvellous change before I had got half through my first purchase. The racking pains in my legs and back soon ceased, my head alao getting wonder fully\ relieved. A remarkable hunger claimed my attention—a sensation I had almost forgotten. The sneezing and coughing stopped, thus enabling me to get some sleep. My pulsation became regular, and the general feebleness dis appeared. Clements Tonic stopped the progress of my disease, and restored me bo robust health. Since then I have always been healthy and vigorous. I have recommended Clements Tonic to other like sufferers, who have always experienced the best results, thus prov ing the reliability of that unequalled medicine. These facts you may publish in any way you like."
