The Effects of Climate A LESSON FOR SUFFERERS,

Tho Caao of "I. Mr. H. SHEPHERD.

(BY A WELLINGTON REPORTER.) The keen philosopher ■who observed that every curso has its blessing stands justifies* by the experiences of Mr. Henry Sliephtr^ tailor, of No. 100, Manhers-slroist, 'Welling' ton, who remarked. wlimi called upon by out reporter, that ho had been in thn colon io< about ten years, •' Having' landed iv Mel< bourne m 1693 from London, of which city! am anative,"paid Mr. Shepherd. "Then,"h< continued, "I went, over to Sydney about seven years ago, and it was at that timo, when I began tct fe.el the ill-effects x>[ doing too much woik at night; combined with the extreme -liea I during the summer months — * " Did yon find much difference iv th« climate in Meibotirue and .Sydney?" ques* tloucd the wi iter. ' " To me it appeared that the Sydney heat ' was of a much more enervating cliaraclci than . that < experienced iv Melbourne f although it might have been only inwginiu . tion on uiy part, probably because my health; V^**f»ftt??. K,tx> J ,«>,iti>yftS when. I Arrived from the old' country. . At any rate, I found myself regnJarly run down, and, ■ btiug cesped up indoors all day, 1 g«t consider* aLty wcirse us the time woie on." "*What, were your feelings like Denerally r ;) b b "Oh ! horrible. I nsed to go about my work like a man who was in doubt as to what he -was do ng it for.. I did not seem t« be able to bother myself whether thingt were done rightly r or> wrongly, .but just jogged along in a dreary fashion day after day without taking particular interest in anything. I used to feel «,« if I wanted fooil badly enough, but when it was placed on thn table I could not touch it as a rulo ; but occasionally my inclinations in regard to eating were quite tl>e opposite, for I could sometimes cat a hearty inc*l. ri IJu't .tho food seemed to havo no tasto of ita own excepting that nasty, bitter flavour tlwfc was always in my mouth, and, another thing, there Was no advantago to bo gained byjny taking food at all." " Why? Were you Buffering froui' inlligestion V "Ah ! that was where the trouble ceme in, as the smallest amount of food possibla fora man to make a paltry meal of was always enough to create heavy p&ins in -the cheat, and my stomach felt quite overloaded. I got terribly shaky in my nerves and could not sleep at all well. I would 150 to bed. say, at eleven o'clock, 'feeling fairly tired Diit, and not before two or three, very often, could I get a wink' of sleep, and thru I generally dreamt and felt unrefroshed ivhoiv I had to get up. . With a hea^y, iwollen feeling in tho eyes of a morning and rei y severe headaches to start the day with. J>y life became a perfect misery, and-I could see no possible hope of things taking a turn for the better until I began taking Clements lonic." " Was that. remedy recommended to you l)y ono of your friends ?" . " Well, I hal scarcely any friends in Sydney at that time, beiiig almost . a stranger in the place, so I hud. no oiie to give advioe on such matters and I Acted on my own judgment. I had been reading a testimonial in ono of the! dailies. That's how I came to take Clements Tonic, and I think myself a lucky man that I did berause Clements Todic was tjhe right remedy for the ailments 1 was suffering f1 om Even to tho fur ou the tongua, .which teitified to the disordered condition of my stomach, Clements Tonic was tho ' medicine to benefit me, and the feelings of giddiness which used to Attack ' »no 'we've likewise abolished by the same means. I shall never forget my heartfelt happiness at so mobU improvement already — headaches gon«, my nerves stiengthenod, and a' really good appetite as well. My rtstlesa nights ww» over, for Clements Tonic sabdno<t tho tor* mehta that had kept me awivlce,' and cb« ritatity I had lost was actnally regained. Hie most w6nderful thing ahonfc Olemente Tonic was its effect upon my digestive o*. sans, which were put fta to such ahmlttiy condition that I h vo not required to t*ke *ny medicine since, which is now seven fears ago. That,ought to be a good tost m to the permanency ot my cure, and I tlifnk aueh a com lete recovery slmuld reiuh tha lieari-g of all sufferers " '•' Then this interviow shall appear in th* papers ?"
