The Finger Pc ftf ©***> Of Mr. a BOUQHTOt* inr a Dtmßom BBronmt.) acquaintance with the constitution of a uountry unless one has live i for a time in face-to-face view of its operation. Often the exact meaning of the words employed to describe the working of a cons itution can only be got on the spot, and so it :'s with matters concerning the individual members of every home. To gain an accurate insight into affairs that once affected Mr. Clement \)oughton, of No. 58 Forth-street, Dunedin, a reporter called at that gentleman's resilience and enquired : "Is it a fact that you Here once ailing with indigestion, and that you are now quite cured ? " "That is so," answered Mr. Bough ton, **and it is to Clements Tonic that my gratitude is due for being in such splendid acaith at the present time. It was when I was living at Tuapeka West, about four op ftve miles from Lawrence, where I was forkinc that my sufferings began, and a fellow-workman put me on to taking the remedy tnat cured me." w Had you been trying any other medicine before you took Clements Tonic ?" "I had taken several kinds, but they had no good effect; so that for fully fiv* months I had to persevere with my worl under most unfavourable circumstances. My sppetite got so fr*il that I scarcely ever •enjoyed my meals, and many a day I had uot the least inclination for food. It does not take a great deal of that sort of business to reduce a man's strength, as I found out *o my sorrow, and when sleeplessness alas started bothering me my vitality ran out all tne more quickly. In this way I soon became so languid that I had no desire for work at all, and with the feeling of drowsi* aess that settled upon file I was not in ths right frame to take interest in anything. Nearly the whole of some nights passed before I could get to sleep, and when I wok* up it was usually with a nasty headache, that tormented me for the rest of the day. \ bitter taste in my mouth gave my morntag meal i.n unpleasant flavour, and after eating ever so liule I was afflicted with a heivy sensation in the chest, which seemed to in erf ere with my breathing. But that Was not the worst part of my troubles, as my stomach used to become filled with wind that arose from the undigested food, and the pains that also came there wero severe in the extreme. A new experience for me; and one that I did not like either, was to find that my nervous system was greatly run down, for when I had done u little exercise my nerves were quite shaky, and at other times they started to tremblo if anything occurred that gave me a start. Often a strange mist gathered before my eyes and gave me the impression that little ■lark specks, like grains of soot, were danchig in front of me, while, to make my life still more miserable, there were aches in my loins that sometimes made walking quila inconvoiv-nt. I am not altogether snro what caused it, although I suppose it wr? one of 11, t i \ : _,estion symptoms; but then was a pain i .;i>t under my shoulder blade? that I could li.tvc done very%e}l without; yes i. had to bear every one of my ailments rig}. t up to the time I started taking Clemen! > Tonic, and then, I am thankful to say, 1" \ortn began to feel easier. Upon my word, I never experienced, such a rapid change for the better in all my life, and my speedy recovery affords emphatic proof of the curing capabilities of Clements Tonic, which I oan safely say is a genuine remedy for ailment? similar to the ones I suffered from." " Can you remember the first benefits fax. derived V " To tell you the truth, I felt more vigo rous and cheerful after taking a couple of bottl' s of Clements Tonic than I had been for a long time, and the appetite I got war surprising. By-and-bye I noticed that mj food was going through a proper process of digestion, for the wind and stomach pain* •eft off annoying me, and the heaviness had gone from my chest as well. For curing headaches and making me -sleep, besides removing all pains and putting my nervous eysteni into splendid fettle, I shall always bear pleasing recollections of Clement* I\ nic, and you may publish these facts for others' benefit iu any form you like," STATUTORY DECLARATION. i, Clsment Bouuhton. of 1)8 Forth-stresfe, Dune» din, in th' Conny of New Zealand, do solemnly and sincerely declare that I have carefully read the annexed riociumeiit. consisting of two folios, And consecutively iminliered from one to two, arid that it contains and is a true and f.-.ithful account of my i'.lnemi and cure h> Clements Tonic, and also eon'ain.ainy full permission to'publish in any way mj statements—which I ttive voluntarily, without receding any payment; and I nmke this solium declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true, and b* virtue of the provisions of an Act of'ths General Assembly of New Zealand, intituled "Ths Justices of Peace Act, 1882 " Declared at Dunedin, this tourf.pmth day Oi March, one thousand nine hundi-d and three, before me, , • / F «.
