'•Mill PT OTHERS' EXPERIENCES. , Tht tote of Mr. R.tt.FUTCNIi. It UK A LOCAL BBFOBTBB.) , Absolute hunger is not a trial which fa sually familiar in this country, and however much imagination may take the place of experience the realisation, of its terrors cannot be very vivid unless they have been •ndured; but when all the evils of life at* reduoed to their elementary forms, sickness is undoubtedly the most real, and it is to save our fellows from hardships in that respect that such aid as the following was solicited by a reporter from Mr. Robert Henry Fletcher, of 0 Hope-Btreet, Duosdie, who said: "Some four years baok my health was in a very queer state indeed. It was after the busy season ef Christmas time that I found my nerves had collapsed under the heavy would get during the holidays might have the effect of bracing me up'again. It was not to be, however, and instead of getting better I got considerably worse." "You mean that other complication* arose!" suggested the pressman. "Just so; for one thing I experienced the disadvantage of losing my appetite, at I could not eat anything with the least degree of relish, and the unfortunate part oi it all of did not do me any good. Quite the re* verse, in point of fast, for then I had all the unpleasant sensations of indigestion to contend with, not the least annoying of which was a great sense of oppression in my chest, as if what 1 had swallowed had stopped there and turned to stone. Troubles were further augmented through the fermentation of the food, which brought about a vary uncomfortable sensttiou in the stomaoh when it became filled with wind, and I suffered very much with a sort of headache like a throbbing in my temples. It was » very unhappy Christmas for me, but I would not hare minded that so much if I had only ' getbetterand beentble to start work afresh." "You were suffering some time, then." " Yes, unfortunately ; and all the doctor's medicines and patent medicines could no* alleviate my distress. I grew more languid and melancholy than ever. Signs of kidney disorders cropped up, and I was persecutes! with acute pains across the loins, wnioh mad* it a misery to walk. A yellow fur spread across my tongue, showing the bad state of my internal organs, ami 1 always had a vile taste in the mouth, in the mornings especially. Restlessness at nights was another thing that helped to increase my wearinfss ( and I did not seem any better even when I did get a little sleep, for I felt so worn oat at the beginning of each day that I did noe care how things went I used to have dreams like the nightmare, and when I got up from bed in the mornings my limbs almost ached for the want of strength. The doctor said it was my nerves that were causing all the trouble, and no doubt he was right, for thsy used to shake terribly,and another indication i of my nervous affections was that my mind ' was always upset with thoughts that wer* never agreeable. I used to get one littlo i worrying idea in my mind, and I could think of nothing else for hours. It was a life of wretchedness that I was leading, and I am thankful that at last I purchased soma Clements Tonic and set myself free." "How did you come to take Clements Tonic ?" " Through reading some testimonials about it, and I think! ought to give one in return to guide those who are still suffering. It was a wonderful difference which Clements Tonic made in me, steadying my nerves, making me eat, and overruling my interna l disorders so completely that soon my diget tion was all right. It was a perfect cure far flatulence ana chest pains, and for making me sleep well I give Clements Tonic the palm over everything. In course of time the pains across my loins had taken their departure, and I was intensely gratified to find that my kidney .disorders had been remedied, because the symptoms belonging to that complaint were gone, and with each bottle of Clements Tonic my vitality in* creased remarkably. When my nervous system was properly balanced again I had no anxious thoughts to worry me, and when I could resume work with the same vigor as before my illness I sinserely thanked Clements Tonic, for it had mads a healthy man of me." 11 Can 1 make use of your statements !
