La Grippe and its Heritage, Resulting Liver Trouble Radically Cured. The Case of MR. HARRY SAMUELS. (From the "Suburban Times.") (ey our special reporter.) Ivy Lane runs from Cleveland to At: or crombie Streets, Redfern, Sydney (Mr Samuels has since moved to 6 Louis Street), and the other day our reporter might have been seen making his way up that thoroughfare till he arrived at a certaiu iiouse, whereat he knocked. " Does Mr. Samuels live here?" asked tlifl newspaper man. " 1 am he," replied, the gentleman who had opened the door, and Mr. Samuels hospitably invited our reporter to come in and be seated. "There is no dotibt," said Mr. Samuels, referring to his late illness, "but that Iwaa very dangerously ill. People may say what they like about la grippe or influenza, as it is often called, not being 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 overpowering sense of weariness and heaviness lay upon me. Appetite was absolutely absent, and when I ate the food had no taste to me. Intense frontal headache seized upon me, and soon racking paina laid lrold of me in every limb, and it wasn't long before the paiii 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, although I couldn't eat, I was forced to drink large quantities oi water to satisfy my intense thirst. I was obliged to lie up in bed. I couldn't sleep, but lay the whole night through in a sort oi doze, very often breaking out in a cold, clammy sweat." "That's usual in la grippe, Mr. Samuels." "Yes. By-and-bye I, as I thought, began to slowly recover. The fever gradually abated, a slight appetite made its appearance, and, although weak, I was just 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 ; again my head was tortured with pain ; and again 1 got pains in my body ; but this time the agony was centred between my shoulders, in my tide, 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 medicine, Avhich, of course, I took, but I grew no better, and to complicate things and make them worse, rheumatism settled iv my bones, and fairly crippled me." " What were the pains in the back like ? " " Excruciating. I can't find words to tel] yon 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 obtain 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 waa covered with a thick coating of some substance, which was very unpleasant 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 iipon the bed. I was terribly thin and weak, and generally in an awful state." "What medicines did you take ? " "After having tried doctors' medicines without avail, and many" other advertised pills and medicines, information reached me about Clements Tonic, and I made a trial of some." c " The result was ?" " I'm not exaggerating in the least when I say that one bottle of that remedy effected a change in me that astonished the neighbours and all my friends. They all had expected to see me months getting letter, and here I was knocking about ag.%in in a week or so as though I had never been ill. [ 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 rheumatism 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, and yon 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.
