The Case of Mr. T. WILSON.

(BY A LOCAL RErOETEII.), The question of the proper method of dealing with such matters as the following was one of the most difficult which Mr. Thomas Wilson, of tho Academy, Vivianstreet, Wellington, had to contend with, and as a satisfactory solution was ultimately arrived at wa will proceed to placo the whole experience under tho notice of olir readers. Mr. Wilsou's opening statement was : — t: With the exception of a six-years' spell I once had in Melbourne, I have resided in Wellington for the past thiriy-nine years, and I do'nob .think 1 shall ever tire of the place, because it suits mo splendidly." "How did Melbourne agreo with you?" enquired the writer. " Very well for a while ; but I was doing a bib too much work, and that:, with the terrible heat they get o\ r er there, fairly broke me up. Besides my own business as a house decorator and painter, I w<\a conductor of the Coburg 15>ass Band, and in one way and another | my time was fully occupied. The continuous hard work resulted in my health being completoly'dislocatod, and then my real troubles in life began. First of all ib became compulsory for me to slacken off my attention to the numerous euga^ctnents I had to employ my time, as I not only lacked tho energy to sue to them properly, but I also seemed to lose all inclination and interest in respect to them. The tiuth of the situation laid in iho fact that t was fairly fugged oilt», and I felt too depressed and too wretched to tackle anything at all. I might say that 1 had no nppetitu whatever, considering how easily my hunger was appeased, and there were many days together when such a sensation as hunger never affected mo at all, especially during tho hot weather. Then when I did cat anything I was no better off, as the food all remained in a lump on tho chest, and I could scarcely got my breath for it, sometimes. I used to have a most extraordinary sensation after I had talion food — a sielciy &mkiug,feeling as if I had nob eaten enough to give me a little strength — although, as a matter of fact, I had taken as much as 1 could swallow. Another unusual thing was that 1 generally slept heavily at nights, but I never once lemembcr feeling 'iresh oh awaking. My eyes seemed somewhat swollen in tlio mornings, I had a bitter taste, and the tongue was always covered with a whitish fnr. From the time I got up until I wont to bed again I felt drowsy and without any life in nic, and the misery of my existence was greatly aggravated by the agony 1 was h.iving. The pains between my should*, rs wore ao soveto that I tried having them rubbed with a liniment to see if it would oase mo, bub nothing ever came of that treatment, unfortunately. Indeed, tho only thing that ever gave me relief was Clements Tonic, and I owe more j^ratitudo to that medicine than I shall over b» able to repay." . "Did it quitu relievo all the symptoms you have described ? " " Quite relieve them ? It quito cured them, and that was what no other medicine could do, so you cau easily undet stand why I always keep a bottle of Clements Tonic. iv tlic house in case anybody wants toning up ft bit. Yes ; I was just as unhappy as I could be when I first got hold of that medicine, for my sight was hazy and I could not take a mouthful of food without feeling afterwards as if my stomach was filled with wind Something more alarming than that used to affect ,1110, however, for I suffered with terrible pains under the heart at times. It may have been only tho wind that gob round it, but, for all that, such symptoms are -calculated to make a man worry a lot. So long as thoso pains existed in that quarter there was always a possibility, iv my mind, of the hcait being affected seriously, aud I was very thankful to Clements Tonic when it had taken away tho piuus from around that orgim, It jvas

really amazing the way I begin to lake njg food again*; and what ploased mo mol'c thaj anything was to be free from thoso (trows? feelings that used to como' over me at lueaj times. More blessings still awaited mo tin more I took Clements Tonic. Tho ' pain,' between my shoulders were lifted away, au<j my chest was quite free fr6ni its ttii'inoi, feelings of oppression, whilo flatulence was. a thing that left off annoying me Boon aftei I commenced with that great remedy.'.' ,\ " You spoke about sleepiug soundly bull not feeling refreshed. How " i "Oh! yes," interrupted Mr. Wilson. i "That was so ; but it was a different kind! of sleep that Clements Tonic assured me— a., restful, continuous slumber that wrts altoV gether free from .riroams of any sort.^and Hi \yafc quite a treat ,to wake up ia the mornings^ feeling so cheerful of niiml and vigorous of 2 body. Everything that had distressed mioJ during my sickness was set 'to rights by" Cfcmeuts Tonic, aud my general^ healthh could nob possibly have been bctter-Avhen 1 my last bottle of that remedy was finished.'? ; "I hope it haa continued ad," remarkedthe pressman. . \ " iMy health continued unimpaired until 4 about eighteen months ago, when J met with, 3 a bicycle accident in this city. ' Tho front ■ fork of my maoliinc broke, and' down I cam* ■; on my head — knocked insensible. A fort- j night in bed, during time I Wctl very i freely, helped" me. along a bib, but still I was ', vor}' weak and altogether upset, Uty.ndrves | particularly so. I could only take nourishment Ihr6ugh a straw, nnd my digestion was worst than It had evev buen before. As t was dozing offHo sleep I could feeU»iy» self giving Hello involuntary jumps* caving to the extreme ncrvousnoss I was sultoriug from, and the diz/.iness 1 was subject to. was - quite overpowering. Although my T condition was so setious I pluucil my faith to i Clements Tonic on account of knowing ;iiow it had rescued mo beforo, and I am pleased ' to say that again my cuntivlence wu well, placed, for I rccoveied my h'onUh; and strength by the exclusive use of that medicine, as I Jiaii .formerly dona. Had you seen ' tho rickety condition of my nervous system when I started on Clements Tonic you would have thought there was a hopt'loso task in froul of it, but nothing seeme.l too much for that medicine to accomplish., Going lo my internal organs as it had pre» viously done, Clements Tonic showed ihafc what it had once acc'omplislie.l it could do again, and mv digestive organs were onco more repaired. 1 was soon able to go down the sticct without being Mcaid of the giddiness that used to seize me, and hi a month or thereabouts I was quite well again. !• can honestly say that Clements Tonic beats everything I have ever met with for giving an appetite aud ensuring a good digesbiou, and for the nervous system, taking my own experience as a guide, I am sure it is tho mosfc valuable inodicino on this side of the line." " You have often made this statement, I believe ? " "Yes ; nnd you can repeat it by publishing it in any way you please." STATUTORY DnCLAtJATION.
