BY OTHERS 1 HIS oftM 0f Mr. ft. if. FLETCHER AbtoSate hunger is not a trUl which it usually familiar in this country, and how«vei much imagination may take the place oi experience the realisation of it* terrors cmnot he very vivid unless they have been endured ; but wbeu all the evil* of life ar* reduced to their elementary forms, sickness is undoubtedly the most real, and it is to •ave our fellows from hardship* io that respect thii such aid as the following wm solicited by a reporter from Mr. Robert Henry Fletcher, of 9 Hope-eWeet, Duoedin, who said : "Some four years back my health wm In • very queer state indeed. It was after the busy season of Christmas time that I found my nerves had collapsed under the heavy strain, but I was in hopes that the rest \ would get during the holiday* Bright have the effect o* bracing me up again. It was not io be, however, and instead ef getting better I got considerably worse." " You mean that other complications arose 1" suggested the pressman. '* Just so : for one thing I experienced the disadvantage of losing my appetite, as 1 could not eat anything with the least degree of relish, and the uniiruin te part of it all was, that the small quantity 1 did partake of did not do me any good the reverse, in point of fact, 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 tc stone. Troubles were further augmented through the fermentation of the food, which brought about a vary uncomfortable sensation in the stomach when it became filled with wind, and I suffered very much with a sort of headache like a throbbing in my temples. It was a very unhappy Christmas for me, but I would not have minded that so much if I had only got better and been able to start work afresh. •* You were suffering some time, then." " Yes, unfortunately ; and all the doctor's medicines and patent medicines could not Alleviate my distress, gl grew more lant'uJw* *nd melancholy than ever. Signs ot kidney iisoniers cropped up, and I was persecuted with acute pains across the loins, which made it a misery to walk. A yellow fur spread across my tongue, showing the bad state of my internal organs, and I always had a vile taste in the mouth, in the mornings especially. Restlessness at nights was anothei thing that helped to increase my weariness, and I ibd not seem any better even when I did get a little sleep, for 1 felt so worn out &t, the beginning of each day that I did not care how tilings 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 lie was right, for they used to shake terribly,and another indication of my nervous affections was that my mind was always upset with thoughts that were never agreeable. I used to get one little worrying idea in my mind., and I could think of nothing else for hours.' it was a life oi wretchedness that I was leading, and I am thankful that at last I purchased some Clements Tonic and set tnjself free." " liow did you coma to take Clement* Tonic?" ' " Through reading some testimonials about it, and I think I ought to give one in return to guide those who are s' ill suffering. It was a wonderful difference which Clements Tonic made in me, steadying my nerves, making me eat, and overruling my internal disorders so completely that soon my digestion was all right. It was a perfect cur« for flatulence and 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 symptom* belonging to that complaint were gone, and with each bottle of Clements Tonic my. vitality increased remarkably. When my nervous tyst.em was pr perly balanced again I had no anxious thoughts to worry me, and when f could lesum* work with the same vigor *s before my illneM I sincerely thank-d Olemsnts Tonic, for it had made* healthy man of me."
