when lying in bed that I have been oosapletely doubled up with the paralysing pains in my back. There was one period in the history of my sufferings when I used to go off to sleep regularly every third night, but for all the good it did me I would have been better- awake. These slumbers were embraced simply through overpowering fatigue, and while they lasted I dreamt the most horrible dreams. I did not feel the least bit rested or refreshed on awaking, but was always bathed in a cold, clammy perspiration. An extraordinary giddiness used to suddenly seize me, when my head seemed to spin round like a top and everything became indistinct before my eyes, which were swollen and 1 collapse of my nervous system, which made me very sensitive and irritable whenever the least noise was made. I used to feel my hands and limbs quivering and trembling like a frightened ohild's. My temper was very excitable and repellent, the most trifling detail of imaginary neglect being magnified into a serious wrong. I was living in. Queenstown when my illness started, but soon after I came down to Dunedin, where I met an old friend who said: 'Hello! What is the matter with youP You look as if you were dying!" " You probably felt like it, to judge from your sufferings!" remarked the reporter. "Indeed I did. Many « time I thought I would never get better. I was wonderfully changed in appearance, being without the least colour in my face, besides having my cheeks sunk right in. My palate had a most disagreeable flavour, even a glass of water having a bitter taste, and my tongue was coated white with an pdorous moisture. As I grew older the more acute were my sufferings. My doctor said he did not know whether my diseases were getting any worse or whether I felt the effects more severely through my system getting weaker with the advance of age. He used to say I could not expect to be as well at fifty as I was at twenty; but now I feel as well as ever I did in my life." "I am glad to hear it, Mr. Hardin* How was your health restored ?" "By taking a course of Clement* Tonic, even after my doctor's 1 treatment was given up in despair. Besides,. I had taken various makes of physios, without the slightest relief, and I had long since concluded there was no hope for me. A book was handed to me one morning, and on reading some of the pages I was struck with astonishment at the number of people who testified to the virtues of Clements Tonic. I thought if other folks could be cured by Clements Tonic there was still a chance for me. You may rest assured I soon got a couple of bottles, and my health soon began to mend. The pains in my back diminished, "and the pains which had nearly driven me frantic subsided. I refer, of course, to the terrible agony in my head. I ate and slop* splendidly, also regaining energy, flesh sad strength.. My nerves were invigorated),, and soon my kidney and. liver diseases were completely cured fey Clements Tonic." "Shall I report this in the papersP" mmmmz&mi
