Publio Notices La Grippe and its Heritage. Liver Trouble Radically Cured. . The Case of ' MR. HARRY SAMUELS. (Frim the " Suburban Times.") {BY OOR SPECIAL REPORTER. ) Ivy Lane runs from Cleveland to Abercrombie Streets, Redfern, Sydney (Mr. Samuels has since moved to 6 Lonis Stree b), and the other day our reporter might have been seen making his way up that thoroughfare till he arrived at a certain house, whereat he knocked. " Does Mr. Samuels live here ?" asked the newspaper man. " 1 am he," replied the gentleman who had opened the door, aud Mr. Samuels hospitably invited our reporter to come in and be seated. " There ie no doubt," said Mr. Samuels, referring to his late illness, " but that 1 was -very dangerously ill. People may say what they like about la grippe or influenza, as it is often called, not beiug much worse than a bad cold, but I know very different. I was unfortunate enough to catch la grippe, and was at once prostrated. An «^yerpowering sense of weariness and ' heaviness lay upon me. Appetite was absolutely absent, and when 1 ute the iood had no taste to me. Intense frontal headache seized upon me, and soon racking puins laid hold of me in every limb, and it wasn't long before the pain had spread to all portions of my body. Running from the mouth and nose set in. I became very feverish, my temperature going up steadily all the time, and, all hough I couldn't eat, I was forced to drink large quantities of water to satisfy my iuteiihc thirst. I was obliged to lie up in bed. I couldn't sleep, but lay the whole night through in a son of doze, very often breaking out in a cold, clammy sweat." *7 'Jl'hat's usual in la grippe, Mr. Samuels. " By-and-bye I, as I thought, began to slowly recover. The fever gradually abated, a slight ajipetite made its appearance, aud, although weak, I was jusb able to get out. But I was deceived. I was far from being well. The influenza had indeed gone, but it had left behind it something worse than itself. Again a heavy feeling crept over me ; agaiu my head was tortured with pain ; and agaiu 1 got pains in my body ; but this time the agony was centred between my shoulders, in my side, and across the loins. I was thoroughly alarmed. I saw the doctor ;he examined me, and pronounced my illness to be a derangement of the liver and kidneys — a result of the influenza. He gave me some L^. medicine, which, of course, I took, but I grew no better, and to complicate things aud make them worse, rheumatism settled in my bones, and fairly crippled me." " What were the pains in the back like ? " " Excruciating. I can't find words to tell you how bad they were. Sometimes it felt as if so many knives were tearing at my flesh. It was so awful at night — then it always hurt me most — that what little sleep I did obtaiu I only got in a sitting posture. It was impossible for me to lie down in bed. In fact, it was as much as I could do to move at all. My tongue was covered with a thick coating of some substance, which was very unpleasaut to the taste and smell. My skin got of a deadly yellow colour. My sight was disturbed, and my limbs and head hung like useless weights upon the bed. I was terribly thin and weak, and generally in au awful state." "What medicines did you take ? " "After having tried doctors' medicines without ayail, and many other advertised pills and medicines, information reached mc about Clements Tonic, and I made a trial of some." " The result was ? " " I'm not exaggerating in the least when I say that one bottle of tliat remedy effected a change in me that astonished the neighbours and all my friends. They all had expected to see me months getting better, and here I was knocking about again in a week or so as though I had never been ill. I obtained this result by -regularly taking Clements Tonic, and it soon cured my liver and kidney trouble. That remedy also gave me a grand appetite, and drove the rheumat ism clean out of my bones. After I had taken five bottles I was in splendid health, and had no need to take more. I am in perfect health now, aud yoa can refer ' anyone to me for an opinion of Clements *&' Tonic, and print what I have said to you as much and in any way you like." STATUTORY DECLARATION.
