B/lANY YEARS' MISERY. DULL, WEARY, DEPRESSED, INSOMNIA, TREVORS, VOMITING, &c. Mr. THOMAS BARRETT Testifies and Narrates his Troubles and Recovery.

(by our special reporter.) For a period of no less than 45 years Mr. Barrett lias been a soldier' in the Queen's Service ; 10 years in the Imperial Service, and 25 years in the New South Wales Artillery. Everyone in military circles knows Tom Barrett, he is a man of fine soldierly appearance, antl for many years he has resided at 7 Shadforth Street, Paddington, having retired with honor from the service of his Queen. However, he still looks a young -man, and every inch a soldier, and he assured our reporter, who interviewed him as to his Cure by Clements Tonic of Liver complaint and Indigestion, that he was still ready to take up arms again in the event of his services being in request. "Had you always good health in the army ?" asked our reporter. "_?.), on the contrary I suffered for many years from a Disordered Liver, and a badly impaired digestion. Sometimes I was very bad, but I never obtained any permanent relief, and more than once I thought I should have to retire from the service." " Would you mind relating how the trouble first came on ?" "Certainly. I can hardly explain how it came on ; v :.,\ It crept upon me almost imperceptibly. I noticed a headache first, and v very bitter and unpleasant taste in the mouth every morning. I didn't care whether I ate any breakfast or not, and instead of feeling bright and vigorous, and fit to perform my day's duties, 1 felt Dull, Weary, and Depressed, and did not feel inclined to leave the house at all. 1 took no notice of these symptoms, as I thought I was merely a little out of sorts, and that a dose of aperient medicine would put me right, but 1 was very much mistaken. I took some medicine, but instead of getting better I was sorry to iind 1 was getting Worse Every Day. My headaches became more violent, my nights were almost sleepless, and many nights, although I was very weary, I remained awake for hours, Tossing from Side to side, and trying to find some position in which I could obtain a little rest. Soon I was troubled in another direction. .Sharp pains assailed me in the back, just Between the Shoulders, and in the side. These pains would often come on most acutely whilst walking, thon I was obliged to stand still till they moderated. I hadn't much money to throw away on doctors, so I went to a chemist, and on my describing what I felt -^aid there was no doubt I was suffering fro?.) Liver Complaint. He gave me some physic, which I tried for a week or two, but it did me no good. He then gave me another sort of medicine to try, but this was of no more use (han the first lot, and I still Continued to Get Worse." " What other symptoms did you suffer from ?" "I had many other symptoms as the disease got a stronger hold upon me. I was afflicted with A Strang:© Trembling: People would say,' Why, what's the matter, Tom, what makes you shake so?' " Of course, I couldn't answer them, for I didn't know myself. Well, then, I began to get terrible Fits of Sickness. Nothing that I ate agreed with me, and it was as much as I could do to get any food • to remain on my stomach at all. Severe Griping Pains in the bowel? came on at times, and I had long-continued and obstinate fits of. constipation, coupled with flatulence. This was just like a Ball of Wind on my chest, and it gave me intense pain. I became extremely low and weak. The pains in my back and side were so violent that I could only move about with the greatest difficulty, My headaches increased in Frequency and Violence. The whole of my systqm was thoroughly out of order. I grew thin and weak. I was attended to by Two or three doctors,

but although they gave me every attention their medicines did me no good. As I said before, I thought my career as a soldier was over. It was only when I was laid up in bed that I decided to try Clements Tonic. I had taken it before, and Derived Great Benefit, so I thought I would try it again. " And you found it a reliable remedy ? " j " Yes, I was quite astonished at the benefit j I received from it after even a few doses In five or six days I had quite got rid of the fits of vomiting and flatulence. My appetite picked up, and I felt more Cheerful and Hopeful than I had done for months past. My headaches grew less and Less every day, and I slept from 10 o'clock in , the evening till eight in the morning without waking, consequently I felt correspondingly refresh-! in the mornings. Every day I noticed : marked improvement. Clements Tonic ha,. cxaellent effects upon my digestive organ* and if I missed but a dose or two I notice the difference at once. Probably my live was the cause of all the Various Bad Symptoms I've spoken of, but, under the influence • Clements Tonic, the pains between lh shoulders slowly went away as my live commenced to work properly again. I bega: to feel quite a different man, after all tin long Weariness, heaviness, and Lassitude that were always upon me whilst my live wa3 not doing its duty. I felt now a though I was walking on air, the Change was so Great," "And how long did it»take you to g« completely well ?" '' Somewhere about six weeks, I suppos —that is, my liver and digestion were in Proper Order again. However, I still stuck to Clements T.oiii for a time, and it soon made me fit 'an strong and able to undertake any amount . work. I always reckon to keep a bottle b_. me for emergencies, and if I was going on . campaign-1 tell you I would sooner take few bottles of Clements Tonic than a who! medicine chest of drugs." • " Do you ever have any trouble with yo:. liver now, Mr. Barrett V •"No, I never had a touch of the com plaint since, though sometimes I've felt . little out of sorts like, I suppose, everj.ii:. does at times. I always found, however, 1-. or three doses of Clements Tonic set'uright almost at once, and Braced SVie Together again, and made me a strong, healthy m as vigorous as I was when I lirst joined . army. I can do a Hard Day's Work with any man. My health is first-eln. thanks to Clements Tonic, and I think have a new leaso of lifo." "Have you auy objection to my maki public an account of your cure, and ' statements you have made in respe.it Clements Tonic ?" " None at all." Our reporter then thanked Mr. Barrett . his kindness iv affording him this somewk lengthy interview, and expressing a ho;> that he might always retain the goo health he is at present enjoying, wish •. him go.od day.
