SICKENING GNAWING ACHES. ENERGY, FLESH & STRENGTH RESTORED BY CLEMENTS TON 10.

The Gae@ of Mr, & H&BDIH. • [Bjf * Dunedin Rtperttr^ People who become nauseated-with their trades and professions and tears them for the purpose of launching out into a new sphere of action find their paths bestrewn with many obstacles, the existence of which they little dreamed of. Although probably competent to fill positions which they apply For, they usually learn that preference given to those possessing previous ex-.-Hrrienoe. An applicant with five years' v&ntage over one with twelve months' knowledge, and so on; therefore, when we find a gentleman with twenty years' experience on any subject, he is always worth listening to. Our reporter held this view when he called on Mr. George Hardin, of No. 33 I'orth-street, Dunedin, who stated that he had suffered for twenty years and liver diseases, and that many complications had arisen therefrom. '• An account of your troubles ought to be very interesting, Mr. Hardin. Will you please to relate them?" " By all means, as I am sure 1 am in possession of facts which will prove beneficial to others. .It is just as much my duty to put folks on the right track in regard to disease as it would be to direct aright a stranger who was on the , wrong road to the destination at which he wished to arrive. To begin with, I may state that I am an engineer by profession, and I am of opinion that through working for so many years in extremely hot atmospheres accounts fur my kidneys becoming diseased. My back commenced to worry me with sickening, gnawing aches, and before long £ fell into a very low condition. I was afflicted with a distressing sensation which made me feel as though I would rather lie down than stand up, walk, or anything else. A scalding pain was experienced when urinating, the waier being" clouded with a peculiar sediment. I used to suffer dreadfully with my head. T .t was not an ordinary headache which continually attacked me, but a throbbing, thumping pain that threatened to drive me mad. As a matter of fact, I do not believe there was one portion of my body free from some kind of agony.' My faculties seemed to be deadened by the excessive torture after ray meals, whioh I took very irregularly. I have seen myself go for days and want nothing to eat, then, quite suddenly, I would sit down and eat like a gormandizer. After these heavy repasts my life was not worth living, for the terrible pains which came behind my neck, close to the shoulders, were more than I could bear in silence. A suffocating feeling very often nearly made me faint. This arose from the dead, weighty fulness in my chest, which felt as though compressed within a vyce. Then I again went for days without food owing to the merciless, tortures I was put to." ■ ■ Under these circumstances you must have been considerably reduced in weight!" '•' Certainly I was.. as light as a feather. I did not weigh myself, as I was not able to walk to the scales. You have no idea how weak I got, and considering I could not keep anything on my stomach I was not surprised. I used to avoid everything that had the least indication of being indigestible, yet it was all the same to my poor weak stomach. Up it came again, almost before it had got down, and then the cruel pains in my head were intensified. I was in such a terrible state that I was nearly off my head. All day long I was sleepy and dull, without any desire to try and shake off the feeling of despondency under which I laboured. I seemed to give myself up for the remainder of my days to an existence destitute of happiness, the- secret being that I had not enough vitality or willpower to continue to lire in hope. Worse than all, I was unable to sleep e/t aight. For days and nights Z hare seen myielf go without getting ©ns hour's tletp, aad hare been w suea, a bad state
