«, MR CHAMBERLAIN'S VISIT. United Press Association— -\\y Klectric Telegraph—Copyright London, November 4 The Good Hope sails on the 2oth. Mr Chamberlain hopes that the chief charac teristic of his tour will be frank and con fidential discussion, with representative men of allclases, races, and politics. He desires to avoid public functions, as the tour is one of business, and not of show. He will spend a week or ten days in Natal, and will then go through the Transvaal. The Government has submitted a vote of three millions for free grants for burghers, two millions for loyalists in the Tranjvaal and Orange Colony, and three millions for supplementary loans to burghers who are loyalists. Melbourne, November 5. Lord Tennyton received a cable message from Mr Chamberlain, regretting that time would not allow of an extension to Aus tralia of his present tour.

I Another Neuralgic . v Sufferer Cared. The Case of Mrs. C. FORD. (By a Locu .wporter) A reporter, acting upon in'tmefions called at the rcsiclcr.ee of Mrs. CeLe Ford, which is located at No. 12 bfc. Asaph-street, Christchuroh. The nva c ous manner in wiiich uu> writer was re ceived indicated Mrs. Ford's wi.lingnes.s to discuss a subject which, had obtained a vast amount of popularity. "You appear to be in the best of health and spirits now," remarked our representative. " "I wx pkused to say that my health could not be better than it is now, and has been for the past sis years. Ali thai'! time has elapsed since; I was cured of the very worst of ailments. To my mind, neuralgia is the most pain ful of complaints, yet those who suffer from it seem to get but very little sym pathy. I had such a severe attack that I did not know what I was doing half my time. Often I have thought I was being driven out of my senses." "Bo you know how it originated, Mrs. Ford?" " I believe it came on through catch ing a severe cold. It commenced with frightful sharp pains in the face, which worked right up to the top of my head. My gums were sore and ten der, making any attempt to ma-ticate my food quite out of the question** al though I had very little mclin^'iii ioi eating, a3 my appetite was fe ble for some time, and then it died away alto gether. There was one period in par ticular which 1 am not likely to tor get. For three weeks the agonising torture did not leave off for a moment." " I suppose you did not sleep very well P" © " Sleep! Why, I did not close my eyes throughout the whole of that long at tack. And then my system collapsed. I could not hold up against the worry ing torment any longer. If I took a small portion of miik diet it affected me as adversely as though I had eaten a so'id meal. A sense of general un easiness, accompanied with pricking pains between my shoulders, and a heavy feeling in the chest, helped to increase th-3 miseries of my existence. My nerves were unsettled so much that I was upset and frightened byo any sudden v sound, which always set" me trembling violently. I became greatly reduced in weight, my face being drawn pinched, and haggard, besides losing all my strength. If I stood up quickly my head used to swim round and round., ar.d then I was overcome by a feeling of faintness which made me clutch at anything handy for support. My suf fcnngs were so intense that I could not describe them properly if I tried all day, and the anguish was accelerated by the fact that 1 could get no relief from anything I tried." " What remedies did you give a trial?" © "Oh, I tried all sorts of different me dicines from chemists, besides apply ing hot bandages, which sometimes gave me a little ease; but the pains gra dually came back again, and were soon twice as severe and irritating as they were before. Then, when. I commenced to think my complaint was going to re main for the rest of my life, a friend who had been a great sufferer from neural gia called and told me how she had oeen cured by Clements Tonic after having vainly experimented with other medicines. My hopes were raised by this information, and I quickly had a befcb c of Clements Tonic in my house, [ think people ought never to be with out it in case or necessity, for it is certainly the best medicine ever cold. [ took several doses of Clements Tonic during the night, and I found the ter rific shooting pains besoming less and less. severe, although they kept me nvake till the morning dawned, when I fell into sound sleep, and when I awoke the neuralgia was cured. I was delighted and overjoyed, yet I took the precaution to keep on with Clements Tqtiio to ensure the defeat of my com ;iiaint. The result was that Clements L'onie settled my nerves completely, and restored my digestive organs to a healthy state. I regained my appetite, and soon got stout and strong. Nejral ria or ill-health of any description has "ever since troubled me. I have often recommended Clements Tonic to my 'Vends always with satisfactory results, and you may publish my statements m any way." STATUTORY DECLARATION.
