Lead On The Right Track THE POINTING FINGER POST. Another Convincing Narrative.

The Oase of Mr. «l. LORD. (BY A WELLINGTON REPORTER.) Interviewed by a special press reprelentalive, Mr. James Lerd, of N©. 45 Manifield-street, Newtown, Wellington, laid : — " It gives me the utmost pleasure to reserve a journalist wishing to bring before the public the complete facts of an illness [ had some eight years ago, as an account of any recovery cannot fail to lead people on to tho right truck when they rind their health has gone astray." " I appreciate your kindly •welcome," responded the writer. "Are you long resiiont in these parts?" 4j"l4 j"I have lived here a good while, and »lso know Queensl-md, Victoria, and New South Wales well. On the other side J spent most of my young days on a station, and many a long driving trip I have taken, when the heat was io great that it would almost stifle one. A pretty monotonous life when the novelty has onco worn off, Mid you do not get the lsost cf food either." "I suppose it i 3 impossible to get any yegefc&bles on these long journeys?" "My word, they would be* luxury !:>! :> No ; avc seldom »aw vegetables, and I think that fact ht,d «. lot to do with the way my digestion west wrong. I know that a few years of that kind of life made me an inveterate sufferer from indigestion, and it was not until eight years ago that I found out what was really good for that complaint — tin absolute cure, in fact." " What was that, Mr. Lord ? " " Why, Clements Tonic. There is nothing fn the world like it ; and since I made its acquaintance lsng ago I have very seldom been without a bottle in tho house, as I find it a grand thing for keeping the wh*le of the family in excellent condition. I ought j,o consider myself an authority on medicine in one way, for when I was ailing bo much [ had physic fr«m a doctor in Brisbane, and tho from a medical gentleman in Dubbo, New South Wales." ' ' What did the doctors say yon were mffering from ? " "They all put it down to the sluggish state of my liver, and, of course, they treated me in accordance with that view of my case. I might as well have been treated !or a totally different complaint for all the good they did me, and when at lsst I got cired of patronising the doctors any longer [ started to treat myse'f with some of the patent medicines that I saw advertised from ;ime to tim«. It would be hard to say what I did net resort to, yet no lasting relief was abt^ivafele, and so the only logical conclulion that I could come to was that the >om plaint had got too firm a hold up*n :ne to bo removed. In this belief, I am de.ighted to say, I was in error, as I soon found out when I had been taking Clements Tonic a week or two, a»d as I know, from my own experience, that that medicino itauds head and shoulders above all others, I /hink I h*vo a right to let every sufferer in me community become aware of the fact." I "How did you become acquainted with ;hat medicine in the first place ? " " I was advised by a medical man to try !t. I told him what I had cone through, : ivhat I had taken for my afflictions, aud jvorything else about it ; and without a tnoment'* reflection ho told me to got some Dlements Tonic, and that would be sure to io me s;ood. I was surprised to get that kind of advice from such a source ; but it fvas really the best he could have given me, is you would have said youi-3elf had you leen me a few weeks later. And I need lardly tell yon that I was deeply grateful co be out of the misery I had been in so iong. Ever since my liver hnd commenced :o bother me I was Msailed by violent le&daches, that seemed to give a swollen eelinjf to the eyes and affect my sight, and lever a meal pasted but that I was subjected <• * heavy sanMtion in the chest, m if the

food could not go any further. Wind *ff farmed i» the stomach, and gave me thif most excruciating pains of All, and I e*unsi suggest any pains more ta»Uliring thai those which lingered under my shoulder blades. And it was remarkable how mi loins vied bo ache, a* if I had been waikraj miles and miles and had never tukoa a- real but I can aisure you that I new iiA g« any long distancea, us thoso aches (JiattfOMec! me quite enough, sometimes even when, J only walked a, few yards. Orte of my priu< oipal enemies at thotthne was j-estlewHew *' " That wouM go against you a let," i:\ terrupted the reporter. "It helped to break me up altogether,* replied Mr. Lord. "In foot, tometimes 1 got so weal: and ill that I had to take'i spell -avray from work. .Frem time tw tim« it used to happen that for about a month at a stretch I wonld have an uneixiurabli period for the want «f sleep, asi at thos< times it was absolutely impossible, for me ti exert myself with business matters ia arrj shape or form. Those sleepless Bights and 1 the amount »f brain weorry I had, combined with the everlasting tortures that I ww j enduring through indigestion, made a eorrj [ wreck of my nervous system. The ieasf excitement made me tremble all ovor, and my spirits B*«k into the deepest depths o: melancholia. I could find no brightness ii life whatever, and when a man gets to sucfc a despondent pitch as that his condition il to be pitied. My appetite was as p»or ai it could possibly be ; yet the strange pan of that was that the little I ate gava m« such a- mountain of anguish to endure Why, my stomach got so weak that oftei the food came up ugain soon after I hac swallowed it, and so I lingered on unti Clements Tonic cjtme to the front anc showed its superiority over all other mcdi ciurs." " You must have been pleasantly sur prised with the results. " "I assure you I wo* highly delightec with the effects of Clements Tonic upon mo for it was not long I ofore the feelings 0: hopelessness had vani*hed, in view of v tin improvements that had taken place. Iti nerve-invigorating qualities were quickh displayed, aud I was quite astounded witl its effects upon my digestion, which wai thoroughly re.jigtv>iised by Clemcate Tonic. The appetite I gained was vcty encouraging aud only myeelf knows how greatly 1 ap predated rising from the table and hm in| no chest pains nor flatulence to ansoy me I was also giad of boing able to rest well al nights, for then 1 couhl rise in the morning! feeling fresh for work, and as inwardrj happy as though nothing had been wrong with me. After ridding me of a.ll mj pains, including these distracting head aches, and fortifying my system with » remarkable supply of nerve force in place oi tho quiverings that existed there, Clcniertf Tonic cmplercd the cure by building «r my streugtli in such a way that, as I snid before, I now legard it as the be«t mediciu, in the land, and yon are welcome to publiek my views in any w.iy you thiuk fit."
