"A Living Example."

Liver Troubles and Indigestion. All the Credit to CLEMENTS TOTHC The Case of MRS. W. MATTHEWS. (For the "Newcastle Herald.*) Mrs. William Matthews, who resides in a pretty little cottage in Elder Street, Lambton, is a living example of tho efficacy of Clements Tonic as a representative medicine. Some years back she was a terrible sufferer with liver complaint and indigestion. Now, for a lady of 64 years of age, she is hale and hearty and able to walk about Avith freedom instead of being burdened with pain. These facts were mentioned in Newcastle, and a reporter was despatched to enquire into the truth of them. "I shall never forget the benefit I derived from Clements Tonic," was the lady's first remark when the reporter explained his mission. " I had often felt so bad that I really thought I could not live many months, and yet a few days after I commenced taking Clements Tonic I felt refreshed." " What were your ailments, Mrs. Matthews?" " I had many ailments, but I fancy liver troubles and indigestion occasioned the most misery at £imes ; the soreness became 30 acute that I could scarcely move about to do my home work, and I always felt tired — the first thing in the morning as well as the last thing at night." " Did yon see any medical men ? " " Yes. The doctors told me I wanted a ;hangc. They said the sea air was too trong for me, and suggested that I should ,o into the country." u Did you go?" "I went to Singleton for a few weeks, md that climate made mo feel better in comparison, but I never felt as well as I lid through taking Clements Tonic." "Was your illness of long standing ? " "For 3 or 4 years I was very bad with liver trouble and indigestion. I used to be ittacked with terrible pains in the chest md between the shoulders, aiid at times I jould scarcely move about. My appetite seemed to have left me. I had no desire for my meals. I used to eat just to keep ip my strength, and what little I did eat used to cause me great suffering by reason of the indigestion." " Could you obtain any rest at nights ? " " Many and mauy a weary night I have put in. I have often prayed for daylight to como, and when I got up I used to have that same old tired and languid feeling. Life was a perfect drudgery to me, nothing 3eemed to do me auy good. I could not bear tho slightest noise, and the smallest trifles would have the most distressing effect upon my nerves. I was down-hearted boyond expression." " Who suggested Clements Tonic ? " "I think, 1 ' added Mrs. Matthews, "that it was one of my sons. I have one an engine driver on the railways and another is a student at the University — or it may have bee,n a neighbour that suggested it. At all events I got a bottle, and I give all the credit to Clements Tonic for the bencficial'change that has been brought about in my system." "How soon did you experience relief ?" enquired tire newspaper man. " Before I finished the first bottle," was lho grateful lady's immediate answer. "I took three bottles altogether. It made mo feel quite a new woman. I could eat and sleep afterwards liko a growing girl, and I had no bad after effects. My Ever seemed to have righted itself, and tho indigestion pains* gradually passed away. I am seldom troubled with indigestion now. I givo all the credit for my cure to Clements Tonic. I liopo I shall never want a few shillings to buy it, because I regard ifc as a woman's frienct." " Have you any objection to this testi« mony being published?" enquired the re« porter, holding up his shorthand notes. "You can make what use you like of it,' replied Mrs. Matthews. "Clements Tonio has saved my life, and I am not afraid to own up to it." STATUTORY DECLARATION.
