always engaged in ruminating over unpieat aut possibilities. One of the most aeriou features of my illness was that I had gonf completely off my food. - Some days I fell as if I did not caia whether I had any of not ; but at th« best of times my appetite was easily satisfied. The weakening effecti of being like that ' you can well imagine, and how much worse things were for me when I could not rest at Bights you can easily understand. I used to lie awako fo* hours thinking about all sorts of things tlial were going to happen, and when I got up is the mornings I felt almost too weary ta staad. My loins and limbs ached, my mouth had a bitter taste, aad there wni nothing to see of my tougue excepting thf thick fur that covered it. There is no doubt it was a moat distressing experience, and I commenced to worry more than ovet because of my heart, which used t© thump and thump terribly. A few mouthfuls ol food gave mo more pain than enough, foe after. eating anything I could hardly breath* for the weighty feeling in my chest, and my stomach soon contained a quantity of wind that caused me great discomfort uutil I had succeeded iv belching it away. Thea between my shoulders I had a terribly sharp pain, and the agony I suffered with head* aelica no one but myself has tho leaifc conception of. Another thing I noticed after meals was dizziness ; and at last I got to loathe the thought of taking food at all, bocause it always meant such torture after* wards — at least, until I began with Clement! Tonic, and theu, to my delight andi astonishment, things began to mend all round. Several days' use of that wonderfnl medicine resulted in my headaches boing considerably eased, and I found it particularly effective in soothing my nerves. Afe night time Clements Tonic was my salvation, as it destroyed all the causes ef my restlessness and gave me the peaceful sleep thitfc my enfeebled system required. Tho*« feelings of hopeleasuesa that had haunted me whilst I was taking other medicines soon died away now that I was taking Clements Tonic, and I got into a happier frame of mind than I had been in for many months. By-and-bye my headaches vanished, and the pains and discomforts after meal* went with them, for it was really surprising how Clements Tonic acted upon my digestive organs, and I was taking my food as heartily as any man could wish." " You ought not to have been long regaining your strength then ?" •'Neither I was, for when my food wti digesting properly it ssemed no time before I was as strong and as eager for work as ■ ever. I have often heard people complaining about suffering from that nastytaste in the mornings, and giddiness, aud palpitation aud those other ailments that crossed my path, and it always affords ma great satisfaction . to advise thorn to taka Clements Tonic, for I know th^t niediciuo can cure them like it cured me. Every sufferer should know of its remarkable efficacy, and for that reason you may publish these remarks of mine iv any way you please." STATUTORY DECLARATION.
