THE EVIDENCE THAT IS GIVEN CARRIES.. FULL CONVICTION.

The Caso of Mr. H. L, OAKTWRIGHT. (BY A LOCAJ. IVErOKTRR.) Kvcnin these whining, whirling times the hnsicsr, people can find mi odd moment to chat over past; events, and whon eonvers;;tioii begins it ia remarkable how the mind {evens frum one subject to anoihur m quick succession. These impressions were applicable oil the occasion of our reporter's visit to tlio homo of Mr. Henry Loflus Carlwrighr, of No. 2V lierry-a'trret, St. Alb.wiß, Uhristuhuroh. who nimle referi-nce to various matters m ilie course of the interview, and then h id : — " Well, now that wo are on (ho subject of music, I may as well lull yun ili.it I urn m the musical profession myt-elf, and thnt, (onthined with the fact tlmr, I am naturally of a highly strung temperament, I attribute to my culling an indisposition which I experienced some time ago." " I have noticed." remarked the reporter, "m many instances, that people whose profession lies m the musical world are peculiarly subject to strains upon the nervous system. Perhaps you have suffered m the Bame way ?" "I regret to say th».t, I have. It was whon I was living m BhdlioM, about forty mi:t."H from this city, that my nerves got thoroughly out of control. I began to sutler from neuralgia, and if you have ever had ru ttttack- of that complaint it will not be necessary for me to tell you what the tortures were like." " Fortunately," interrupted the scribe, 111 have so far been free from neuralgia." " Then you have a lot to be thankful for. The most excruciating pain that you could think of used to run right up to my temples, and yon may he sure that such torments greatly interfered with my sleep. Ido not know of anything to compare with the wretchedness of lying awake hour after honr, with the awful agonies of neuralgia to endure; and I do not know of anything that: could have such a weakening effect upon the syßtem generally than that vile complaint. It saps the vitality to such an fextent that, if one could only lie down all thotime, that is all that is wanted. So far M I wan concerned, I can safely say that I had positively no energy ab all, and, with the frail appetite I had, there was no proapect; of my vitality being regained, as without taking a fair amount of food evory d»y, of course it is impossible for anybody to get strong. Thoso were not my only affliction!, for the small amount of food I dM Uke gave mo considerable trouble with flatulence, and if the neuralgia pains lulled for a while, I had headaches instead, which were of v more distressing character. Sometimes I had burning sensations at the back of my eyes, as if the eyeballs were on fir«, and for a long time there was not a day passed but that I felt as if I waa suffering from a.very bad attack of dyspepsia." 11 Were jou taking any kind of medieinn ?" " I think I took pretty well every kind, even to some medicine that I brought from C»loiittft for the purpose of building up the Bvstem, but each .of them proved utterly ineffective. Then a stroke of good luck nucurro'il. A friend strongly advised me to try some Clements Tonic, and after I had taken several bottles of that remedy, I came to the conclusion thut it was the best thing that I had ever coino into contact with. There is uo denying the fact that its effect upon my nervous system was simply wonderful, for it steadied my nerves right throughout, and i;i ihe course of a little while my ncirralga troubles were entirely stopper!. >"or that much relief you may depend I. w.ia extremely thankful; but Clemmits Tonic did not stop there, I am happy to say, for it gave me a splendid appetite, and, what was more valuable still, it so acted upon the liver and internal organs generally that my dyspeptic miseries were «oon ended. Now, I could not eft'eefc »nch a perfect recovery by any other means tilt*n those I speak of, so it is only fair and right that Clemonts Tonic should get its due, and nothing will give me more pleasure than to recommend it 3 uso m aPI cases that come under my notice, where the ailments ate like thoso which made my life so .unbearable." •' With your permission I will also print these remarks." " You are quite at liberty to publish them m any way you think best."
