Oarioasly enough, she has never troubled much aboufc women's rights, perhaps because she has been go basy endeavouring to obtain other people's rights, for her services are constantly being sought to undertake work in the Criminal Courts, especially on behalf of young people. Mrs Susan Marsh waa perhaps the firets woman ia the world to establish herself as A WOMAN UNDERTAKBK. In Chicago, after learning the science of embalming, she opened an under taker's shop, and for thirteen years she attended io ifc herself, with the result not Only that she made a fortune bat ■he had at one time one of the chief businesses of its kind in tha city.

A SEDENTARY LIFE

Brings on a Sluggish Li¥sr.

ANOI uDiv LO\iHL VhKJXiI , The Case of Mr. a. HAMiLIOiL

{By « Dunedin lieporter.)

A story well worth hearing was-told to a reporter by Mr. Georgo Hamilton,

of 18 Maclaggan-Btreefc, Duncdin. Those who have not already heard it will find considerable interest in reading the fol lowing statements: — "For the greater part of my life," said Mr. Hamilton, " I have been used to plenty of hard work, and I think there is nothing like it for keeping the body in a healthy condition. When I commenced to get up in years a bit I thought it time to take lif& a little I easier, so I Btarted shop-keeping. It is really marvellous how the change affec ted me. The ease and comparative lazi ness of my altered career did not alto gether agree with me, fox* I got terribly stout and my liver went sluggish. My former habitual activity was succeeded by a feeling as if everything was a bur den. I could not go about my duties as I would like to, being hindered by a sense of lassitude and fatigue which precluded all efforts to work from being satisfactorily carried out.® It took a long time to make up my mind what I would like to eat, and after I sat down with my food in front of me I could very rarely eat it. At other times my appe tite was a little better, but it did not make any difference how small a quan tity of food I ate there was always a feeling of painful discomfort in the stomach afterwards. Frightfully severe

pains between my shoulders also- came on, and an awful ache settled in my forehead. My headaches were often so intense that I could hardly see out of my eyes, besides experiencing a throb bing in my temples which resulted in fits, of giddiness. Everything became blurred and indistinct, besides appear ing to rapidly revolve. Severe pains appeared in my loins and at the end of my ribs, sometimes being so acute as to make me gasp for breath." " Did the excess of flesh yon had at tained still remain P" queried the re porter. ® "Not a bit of it. I. was, compara-

tively speaking, reduced to a shadow. As I could not sleep very well it was only to be expected thafc > my nervous system should suffer, and it did, with a vengeance. My nerves wer© thoroughly run down and out of tone. Occasionally I got a little sleep but I never felt re freshed after it. A sure indication of my excessive weakness lay in the fact that I was always in a state of profuse perspiration. I could sit down in a chair and still the sweat would run out of me. The morning was the time I generally felt worse, for my limbs ached intensely, and I had a bitter taste in my mouth. My chest felt as though it ' were pressed down by a heavy weight, and the trouble I had in drawing my breath sometimes can scarcely be im agined. Whether I slept for a few hours at night or not I was in just tho same miserable, drowsy condition all day, a symptom which I can only attri bute to the irregularity of my bowels. A great amount of agony was caused by the generation of wind in my stomach, which arose to tho heart and made it throb. My mind was over-strained with the thoughts concerning my sufferings, which were becoming more unbearable ©very day." © © _ " Did you have any medical adviser in attendance?" "I am pleased to say I did not. I have to thank my own judgment for taking such action which dispenses with the services of doctors. Reading about several people whose health had been restored by Clements Tonic induced me to give that medicine a trial, a few bottles bringing me round splendidly. I could soon eat without any painful consequences, and I slept well at night. Tho fearful pains in my shoulders and loins were gone, and the wind never again formed in my stomach. My head aches were removed, elasticity and vi tality returning to my limbs—all through the splendid properties of Cle ments Tonic. I took a new interest in

life, and felt bright and cheerful. Cle ments Tonic quickly put me in the pink of condition, and in order that every one may know these facts you may pub lish them any way you like."
