The Case of Mr. J. LORD.

(BY A WELLINGTON KEF-OUTER.) Interviewed by n special press rcprelentative, Mr. James Lord, of No. 45' Mansnelcl street, Newtown, Wellington, taid : — f* It gives me tho utmost pleasure to reStivna journalist wishing to bring boforo tho public the complete fuct3 of fin illness [had soma eight years ago, as an account of my rocovrry ciiluot fail to lead people on to the right track when they, tind their health has gone .*stray. " • "1 appreciate your kindly welcome," responded tho writer. "Arc you long resident in those parts 1 " . jj','l havo lived here a good while,- and : *iso ku©w Qu4cnsltn.ll, Victoria, and Now 3oulh Wales well. On tho other aide I spoilt I tnoat of my young days on a station, ami I mauy'a long driving trip I havo taken, tvlien tho heat wag oo grefti; that it would almost stifle one. A pretty mouotonous life wljen tho novelty hasi 'cuico worn off, S^ntl you do not get tho beat of food either." j "I suppose is is iinpo^sib!^ t» gei any Vegetables on those lopg journeys t" "My word, they would be a lusury ! " No ; WvO seldom saw vegetables, and I think that fivct had a lotto do with the way my digestion went wrong. I know that few years of that kind of life made me an iavete-i-a.t's sufferer from indigestion,, and it was uoO until eight ycais ago that 1 found out what was really gop»l for that compliynl — %n ab?olulo cur^.'iti fa.uk" V What was tjiat, Mr. Lord. ? " " Why, Clements Tgnio. There is nothing in the world like it ; and since I made its icquaintaiico long ago I have very seldom l i been without a bottlo in tho house, aa I find [ \b a gr*nd thing for keeping tho whole of I i;he family in excellent eontfition. I oiighL I vo consider myself an duthority oh mectiejne iv one way, for when I was ailing so much i [ had physic from a doctor in Brisbane, and 1 also from a medical gentleman iv Dubbo, Now South Wales." ' "Whftb did tho doctors say you were suffering from 1 " ' "They all pufc it down to the sluggish state of my liver, and, of course, they treated me in accordance with that view of my ewe. I might as well have been treated for a totally different complaint for all the good they did me, and when at lost I got sired of patronising the doctors any longer I started to treat mysd'f with some of the pdttaut medicines thai I saw Advertised from si me to time. It would be hard to s*y-\vhal I did not retort to, yeb no lasting relief was abfcuipablo, and so the only logical conclusion thaf- I could come to was that the jomplahit had got too firm a hold upon me to be removed. Iti this belief, lam de.ighted to say, I was . in error, as I sooii iound out when I had been taking Clements Conic a week or tw.o, And aa I know, from ■ny own experience, that that medicin* itauds head and shoulders above all others, I /hink I havo a right to let cs'ery sufferer in ;ho community become aware of the fact." "How did you become acquainted with :hat- medicine in the firat place ? " " I was advised by a medical man to try .1. I told him what I had pone through, rvhat I had taken for my afflictions, and sverytliing else about it ; and without a moment* reflection lie told mo to get some Dleinonts Tonic, and that would be sure to i<> me good. I was surprised to get that ivina of advice from such a source ; but it ivas really the best he could have given me, ib you would have said yourself had you leon mo a few weeks later. And I need, lardly tell you that I was deeply grateful :o be out of the misery I had been in so unig. Ever since my liver had commenced :o bother mo I was asßailed by violent aeariaches, that seemed to give a swollen eeling to the eyes and affect my sight, and lever a meal passed but that I was subjected »_a .fewtX ataaation \jn the chest^as if the

food could nb,t go- any, further.
