Public Notice BROUQITTrKUn iAi-un TO LlfL EXPOSURE AND ITS PENALTY. LET THIS STORY MAKE YOU CAREFUL. The Case of Mr. M. McCARTHY. ' (By a Duuca,ii Reporter.) It is quite a common thing for footballers to start ana finish a malch with | aai coming down in torrtnts. liowing ten likewise, in their aim.ess jerseys ad fine linen pants, are frequency exoied to dienchii.g rains and to.d bleak . inds, but the honour and glory attachd to pacing so much daylight between uemse.ves and their opponents at the .nning post quite outweigh any conlerations respecting the • k they run i injuring their htalth © As a rule, hletes have more pluck than prudence i matters, a fact which is often nought under their notice in after life y such unwelcome visitors as those hich paid Mr. Michael McCarthy so mch attention. Mr. McCarthy resides ~ No. 5 Orton Cottages, a terrace ol ouses running oif Great King-street, 'unedm. It was here that the abovemed gentleman and our reporter met, .e ath.etic frame and generally robust ipearance of the former giving the lie rect to the reports which had lmeii ought under the writer's-notice* In iswer to a question, Mr. McCarthy id: "My troub es started two year. ;o or thereabouts. I have done a lo . work in the country in my time, and * I usually took contracts for work 1 ".s naturally anxious to get through it i soon as possible. Consequently i wa ; ten employed outside when 1 should ve been inside out of the rain, lake ..>st young feliows I was a bit care es .out my health. I did not feel any nmedia-t© effects from these soa kings. id I began to think mysef a physica, lenomenon. *But continual exposure > all sorts of weather got me down at st. The vigorous spirit with which I od to work' gradually began to wane, id I used to lie in bed much longer in 10 mornings than I ought to have me. The truth of the matter is that dad no inclination to work. I used to iy away from it one day and then rn up and do a little the next, but entually I got so miserably worn out t I gave up work altogether. Violent •i of vomiting attacked me early every -•rning, whist I had frequent micritions at night. The act of urinating • i.s extremely difficult, the general nidations showing that my kidneys were •eased very badly. My chest became iie sore through a dreadful -dry cough uch came on at frequent intervals, a rat amount of phlegm also being spal i. My lungs were fairly clogged up :th cold, a circumstance which adsrsely affected my respiratory organs 'yond the symptoms I have ment.oned do not remember suffering any other ments for a week or two." ' What happened then, Mr CarthyP" ' 1 was then prostrated with acute :ns-in my back, which were so tornting that I could neither sit nor nd up straight. Whpn I wanted to ik anywhere I had to go along doubl--1 up like ah old man. But I could ver proceed very far without being •rfectly exhausted, when I had * stand and gasp for breath rrible darting pains used to "ldeply seize me in the knrp.s, and own I dropped as though I had been ofc. My head used to ache so intense- • that I could not bear the least noise, i ides fee'ing awfully bad-tempered -d cross without knowing why. 1 was "eeding'y restless in bed owing to the •eking pains which never ceased for moment. Sleep I could not, in spite if the fact that I was drowsy and listless ill day. Food did not seem to taste ike it used to, probably on account of my tongue being so unclean. I very ~ „ „ »..., w..„k, , t , .rum i UIU 1 had to vomit it all up again shortly nfterwards "In the pit of mv stomach there was a sense of weight and oppression as though a l"mp of clav was stationer! there. On three or four oc■avons I fell as'een for a litt'e while, time I had the ugly 1 reams yon con'd conceive. Such a umber of horrib'e ulras went through iv head in tba.t,hnef space that whon I looked at the clock on awaking I could scarcely believe I had only been sleep ing about an hour. .Right up betwee my shoulders I felt simdar agonies t those situated in my back, .anothei thing I must not forget to tell you: Uy some means, my heart became affected. Spasms of wind used to shoot up in that direction and cause my heart to go thumping against my : ribs till I realiy thought I was going to pass out of existence. My face lost all the freshness it had attained through living in the bush so many years. Black lines formed under my eyes, and my skin was of a yellowish colour. I could not Lear to look at anything two minutes together, as it only had the effect of dazzling my eyes. A drumming sensation in my ears greatly affected my_ hearing, which many people will remember through getting annoyed at having to repeat* things several times before they could make me comprehend?* "Did you receive any medical attention ?" f " Any amount of it, yet for all the benefit I derived from doctors' treatment I might have done without their orvices. 1 "was in such a wretched •tate of collapse that at, last I was aken to the hospital. The doctors did tot seem to know what was the matter vith me, for although they prescribed me medicine after another my health did not improve. After staying in the hospital three months I was discharged, he doctors Baying they could do nodung for me bey6nd what they had already done, and that amounted to nohing. I had barely sufficient strength to walk from the institution, and on my way home I nearly fainted several times. This was the only exertion I had had for three months, and 1 soon liseovered that my nervous system was broken down. After so many failures I thought it was only a matter of a little time when my internal diseases would L erminate my sorrowful existence. The -ooner death came the better, I nought." " Do you ho'd that opinion now?" ' "No fear. I want to live as long as I' an, because I feel that my physical ail•nonts are permanently cured. After he doctors gave me up I was practically brought from death to life by Clements Tonic. ' I happened to make the acpiamtance of several people who had uffererl like myself, and thev told me Clements Tonic had cured them. 'lt will do the same for you,' was their ■mcouraging remark, and, upon my word hev spoke the. truth. I started taking Clements Tonic with a feeling a'most imountmg to prejudice, but before 'nany days were over my doubts were mattered, for mv pains wrre s'owly Uminishmjr, and I secured a fair amount -if sleep nightly. When the strengthenng qualities of Cements Tonic began o tell on my shattered constitution I •vas soon ab'e to stand up straight, and ny knees were never a<rain rendered •tieless by sudden attacks of para'ising a<rony. No; Clements Tonic wiped 'hem all out. I ate.hearH'v, wi+hout "ny painful consequences. Mv head was •!ear, and I fe't as fresh and vigorous a,s Mior<rh I had never been ill.
