Thirty=Nine Years in Wellington.

ThO C*se of Mr. T. WILSON.

The Evidence of an Old Resident.

(fIY A I,OCVL KItrOKTSR.) The quuetiem of the propar method of dolling witli iiioh matters as the following was uno of t ho moit dirtjculb Mr, TUoinna Wilson, of the Aoadeiny, Vivianstreet, Wellliifjtoti, hatl to co.Und with, ii ml ivs a satisfactory volution was ultimately iinived at we will prou*ed to plttce the wliolo expoviencs under fclie notic« of our read ore, Mr, Wilson's opening statement wtis :•—• " With the axception of a six-years' spell I once had iv Melbourne, I have resided in Wellington for felie marc bliir ynine years, and I (If* not think I shall ev«r tire of the place, because it •uit» me ■pleudidly." " How did Melbourne agree with you ? " enquired tlio writer. ' *' Very woll for a while ; but I was doing a hit too much work, and that, with tho terrible hent they gut over there, fa.ii ly bieko me up. Beside* my own business hs a hou«e ilocor«tof *ii(4 pa<nter, I w»a cotithicUir of the Coiiurg B tv» Band, and in on« way and Aiitiiher my time vr«a fully occupied The continuous liarvl work refiulted in my health i>eing coni|»ietely dislocated, and then my m*l troubles hi life began. First wf all it <>ecaine iioinjiulnury fur me to slacken off my attention to the numeious engagements I had to employ my lima, as I not only hi :kwl the ouaigy to «ct* to them properly, but I tl«o itemed to loso all inclination and interest in reepect to them. The truth of the tifcualiou laid in he I'aot that I wai fairly ou-t, and I felt too depressed and too 'wieCohed to tackls anything at all. I might iAv i hat I had no appetite whatever, con4i'lorii)g how easily my hunger was appoased, viid there were many days tngetlter when tuuh A sennation as hunger never affected me at all, especially during tho hot weather. I'hen when I did eat an y thing I was no better off, at the food all rotuainad in a iimn on the che*t, aud I C«uld scaro<-ly get ,ny breath for it sometimes. I used to have a must extraordinary sensation after I had t>ik«n food — a siok y sinking feeling as if I had not eaten enough to give me a little itrougth — although, as a matter it fact, I hud uken n« much as I oonld swallow. Another uutuiial thing was that I generally slept heavily at nights, but I never once remainber feeling tresh on awaking. My ayes i««m«(i soinewhut swollen iv true mornings, L had a bitter taste, and the Ungtie wus nlways covered with a whitish fur. From the time I g»t up unUl 1 went to bed again I ftU drowsy »ud without any Ufa in me, Aiul the misery of my exfetencs was greatly aggravated by tho agony I was having. I'll* patua between my shoukWs were so <oveie that I tried having them rubbed with a liniment; to see if it would oase me, but nothing ever CAme of that treatment, unfortunately. Indeed, the only thing that ever gave me relief waa Clements Tonio, and < I ovy • more ifratitude to that medicine than ■ I shall ever b' able to repay." , "Did it quite relieve all the symptoms you have described ? " "Quite relieve them? It quite oured them, and that was whnt no other medicine could do, so you can easily understand why I always keop a bottle of (Jlenrants Tonio in th« home in case anybody wauts toning up a bit. Yes : I was ju*t us unhappy as I oould be when I first got hold of that medioiue, for m> sight was hazy and I could not' take a mouthful of food without foe ing afterwards as if my stomach was Riled with wiud Something more alarming than that used to affect me, ho>r ver, for I suffered with terrible paiiis under tho heart at times. i It may have been only tho wind that got round it;*'but, for all that, such symptoms aro calculated to make a man worry a lot. So long as thoso pains existed in that quarter there was always a possibility, in my. mind, of the hoatt boing affected seriously, and I was very thankful to Clemen 181 8 Tonic when it had taken away the pains from around that organ. Ib was

I really amazing the way I began to take my food agtun ; ami what pleased mo more than anyUiiog was lo bo free from those drowsy feelings that utsod to oonve over me at meal Union. More blowings still awaited me the moro I took CleiiMuta Teoic. Tke paius between my shoulders w^re lifted away, and my ohest was quit* flee from ita former feelings irf oppression, while flntulcuce wus a tli-iny that left off annoy tug me ao«m after I ooiiun"iioetl wifcU that gra&b pem«fly." " You spoke about stooping soundly btib not feeling refreshed. How " "Oht y««," interrupted Mr. Wilssn. "That w»h »o ; Imt it wna a different kind of sleep that Cieniofrts Tonic assured mo— a restful, cohHmuouh slumber tlwvt was altogether free from rireama of any noit, and it win quite a treat t» wake up hi the mornings fooling so cheerful of miad and vigorous of body. Everything that had distressed mo during my aiolcne>a was set to rights by Clemeuta T«nio, ami my general health could not pasubly hay« been better when my J*ac battle of that remrdy was finished." " I hope it has ceutiuued so," remarked the preg»man. " My health oontliuted unimpaired until about eighteen months ago, when I met with a biuyclo accident in this oifcy. The front f«rk of my machine Uroko, *n<i down I came on my head— knocked irtßoimiblt. A fortnight iv bed, durinj; vrttwh time I bled very fnmly, helped me along a bit bat »till I was very w^ak and altogether upset, my nerves particularly so. I o«ukl «nly Uk« nourishmeni through a straw, and my dicention was worso than it had ever been before. As I was dozing off to sleep I could feel myself giving little involuntary jumpa owing t» the extreme nervousness I was suffering from, and thi» dizzinesi 1 was subject to was .juito overpowering. Alt ough my oondition waeao serious I pinnoU my faith to Clements Tonic on account of knowing how it had rescued mo before, and I am pleased to say that again my conrideuco w*. wellpkc«d, fur 1 recovered my health and strength by tho exclusive use of that medicine, as I had formerly done. Had y«u seen the rickety condition of my nervous nystem when I s*arberl on Cloments Tonic you would hftva thought there was a hopi-losa task in front of it, but uothing aeemed too muoh for that modioine to aoo«»mi)li8h. Gowg to my intarnal organs as it hat) previ»n«iy done, OlemenU Tonic ahowed hut what it had once accomplished it could do agaiu, and my digestive organs wore once more repaired. 1 was «oon able Ugo down the atreot without being afraid of the giddiness that used to seize m«, and iv a mouth or thereabouts I was quite well again. I can honestly «ay that CNmoHts Tonio beats everything I have ev«r met with f«r giving an appebite and ensur<ng a g«od fJigoxtion, and for the nervous system, taking my own experience as a guide, I am sure it is tho >moit valuable medicine on this side of the line," " You have often tnado this statement, I believe ? " 11 Yea ; and you oau repeat it by publishing it in any way you please."
