bE guided »T OTHERS' EXPERIENCES. i The Case of Mr. R. H. FLETCHER, (BY A LOCAL RKPOETEB.) I Absolute hunger is not a trial which is 1 usually familiar iv this country, au^howev* r much imagination may take tlte place of experience the realisation of its tenors cannot be very vivid unless they have been ensured ; but when all the evils of life ate reduced to their elementary forms, sicklier iB undoubtedly the most real, and it is U> save our fello«s from hardships ia that respect that such aid as th* following w»s solicited by a reporter from Mr. Robert Henry Fletcher, of 9 Hope-street, Dune;:it , who said : . " JSoniti four years back my healtli was n o. very queer state indeed. It was af t. r th<- . busy season of Christmas time th«t 1 luuin my "nerves had collapsed under -tho hca\ » strain, but I was in hopes that tlie rest J would get during the holidays might have the effect of bracing me up again It w:.« not o be, however, and instea^ uf getting better 1 got considerably worse." 1 "You mean that other complications arose ? " suggested the pressman. •' Just so ; for one thing I experienced the disadvantage of losing my appetite, as I could not eat anything with the least de groe of relish, and the' unfortunate part of it all was, that the small quantity I did partake of did not do me any good. Quite 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 I had swallowed had stopped there and turned to stone. Troubles were further augmented through the fermentation of the food, which brought about a very uncomfortable sensation in the stomach wheu :t became filled with wind, and 1 suffered very much with a sort of headacl-o 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 gofebetterand 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. I grew more languid and melancholy than ever. Signs of kidney disorders 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 i he bad state of my internal organs, and I always had a vile taste in the mouth, in the mornings especially. Restlessness at nights was another thing that helped to increase my weariness, and 1 did not seem any better even when I did get a little sleep, for I felt so worn out at the beginning of each day that I did not care how things went. I used to have dreams Jjke the nightmare, and when I got up from bed in the mornings my limbs almost ached for the want of strength. The doctoi said it was my nerves that were causing all the trouble, and no doubt he 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 littl* worrying idea in my mind, and 1 could think of nothing else for hours. It was a life oJ wretchedness that I was leading, and I am thankful that at last I purchased . some Clements Tonic and set myself free." " H"W did 3'ou come to take Clement." Tonic ? " t '' Through reading some testimonials ' n about it, and I think I ought to Live one in | return to guide those who me s ill suffering. ] It was a wonderful difference which Clements Tonic made in me, steadying my nerves, making niu eat, and overruling my internal disorders so completely that soon my diges- ■ tioi) was all right. It was a perfect cure 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 symptbms belongini to that complaint were gone, and with each bottle of Clements Tonic my vitality increased remarkably. When my nervous system was pr< perly 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 sinoerely thank* d Clements Tonic, for it had made a healthy man of me." ""Can I make use of your statements ? " " You can publish them to the whole world, in any form you like."
