Q€ i A Pressman's Interesting interview. The Case of tI"R. J; GARRICK, (by an independent reporter.) As has been well said, the fact of the survival of the fittest in the struggle for •iisteuce is such a s : mpie thing that a •hild can understand it. Hut if there is a ■itiugg'.c the best equipped must, on the iverage, survive, and the weakest go to vhe wail. Perhaps the weakest comp: ise those who are least adaptive—perhaps least pro-tected-against thtir surroundings, and to ;h se wo commend a study of the following luiiogue, which took place between a, reporter and Mr. Joseph Garrick, of No. 62 High-street, Dunedin : ltepirt-ter : " I am given to understand that you onee encountered a formidable opponent whilst you had no adequate ineau3 of defending yourself. Will you kindly tell me all ;ibout it?" Mr. Garrick : " I think you mean the struggle I had for my life some time and that I was not properly armed because 1 was slow in adopting the r ght means of checkmating my physical enemies." Reporter: " You have gues-ed aright, sir." Mr Garrick : " Well, well ; what a torible experience it was ! luai for three years qui.o unable to do any work, and for bwo years out of the three I was as near to i>eing a helpless invalid as a man co»ld ps.s--ibly ho. 1 \->as in bed for the greater put or those two years of peipetual suffering, only being able to get on to the floor now ami :i?uia for about half an hour at a time, au-1 igain because I was too feeble to git up. This was when I was at my worst; but ultogoUier I was suffering for close on six years;. I will confine myself to the lime when I was utterly helpless, for it was then that my cup of hikeruess was Gllcd to the brim. You may 'be a u prised to hear that mv life was wrecked owing to in igestiou and nervous lisorders, for tbey may seem such every-day •ort of complaints to d-> so much damage to nie's system ; but my unfortunate exprri'•nee will show to what dreadful extremes hose ailments can lead a man to. I had a u-bifid burning sensation in my head hic.h made Hie a perfect misery, as I could .-iiiher read, nor write, nor do any thing else, ind I was i:early going oat of my mind for he Ys-aat of sleep. Just fancy a man lying ay a 4 ter day, wight afier.night, ; nd week iftefwoek withi ut getting any slumber to .ivehis brain a little rest from the ■: bought that he was suffeiing from complaints which could not be cured, and whinh. ! ;liercfor<?, canld result in nothing eke but. | loath. No wonder that my n ind was ail j upset and that I was afflicted with sr.?h j i'-'ep depression of spirits that I ceased to i ■ ire even for life ilstlf. Why, when I went o my bed at the-commencement of my two scars' ninrtyrdom I thought I v.-as going io is, for I had such heavy, suffecatiiig &:n----sitions in my eldest thft I have seen mrsr!; lying ;-ni' thinking that I was going to lose :ny breath every moment. A strange sanation, Uke a deathly nambnevs, seeded to run ihror.jjh me., and my breathing appeared tn have supperl for a Lit? s&c: nds, and when the korri'.jia feeling had gone away I -waited its nsirorrsuec with great anxiety of mind." E«portrr: '*' Perhap3 your heart was aObi t) d ? " Mr. Carsick-: "Without doubt it was, for it used to thmsp and thump, as if it was trying to come cafe. As you may iniac ine, I not eat very well when I was nh*> this. i."!dee<l, I had no appetite for any kind o' fcor* atul I daresay it was just as well that f (:bulrl.£jt eat much whilst my digestiTm '.va<j in such a wretched state, for the little I too!: gave me more misery than enough, as my stomach used to fill out with wind and mi!:: 3 me feel dreadfully uncomfortable, 'ho nu•.)-holesome taste ir> my month was sickening £Jid the fur on my tongne also sho%ved what a bad state my internal were in. -dy sight got very defective tnd in -the .-mcraiima rav eves, seemed .to. hsxe swollen during the night. Once or twice J tried to got out of bed without anybody as. sisting me, but I soon found out thai I was t« feeble, and the giddy sensations I used tc have were terrible. I seemed to have go] too low to be troubled with the bodily paau that some invalids have, but there was a dreadful ache in the small of my back, anc my iimbs were affected in the Fame way. If came to such a pass that I used to lie witk my nerves shaking day and night in sunn a violent manner that Anybody looking at me would have thought that I was troubled with St. Vitus' dance, and my feeblcuiv* was eventually so pronounced that I «>u!d not stand on my feet." Reporter: " What sort of medicine wire you taking!" Mr. G-.'.nick: "Everything that ;-,s doctor ordered, but it did not he r. After a v.hi-a I tried to doctor mysr;i : . ,u. it was only running away with money ire'.-.; after week for no purpose. I was thoron-_<li!-.< sick and tired of Uking so much med:. ; ;r.': for nothing, and I grew so disgusted ;-.;;;.-. despondent at last that I would not take a<:y mere. A spell without physic did not matters, so I thought I would give jusS sss more trial to medicine, and this time it was Clements Tonic." Reporter : " Were you more fcrtunat* witi th«t remedy than with the others?" Mr. Garrick : "Oh ! much more. In fast, it was the only medicine that did mo a«V good, and there is no doubt that I woulil still be in the same hc'p'ess condition wera it not for the .splendid benefits which res-alted from the use <A ('••'mo'sts Tovic. 1 may &ty at the on net t!>at C Tonic cureil a» ti my weakness* io.- when I a-.arthd using it 1 was softi-tr-Iy a,fcii? to mor*; but sosreral bottles of C'r.asente Tonic bad sc built aa my nervous hjhUhr autl taa g«aerally that I got- mere con denes in myself, and when my strength had >>af&>ciently, I got np out of awl began t« walk about. Just think what ray letiiage .were like when I r?9x e.ble to do that, «ivsf despairing for two years thai I v.-ould »e*«" regain my feet again ; and as nothing s&& Clements ionic conld bring my beaJ:tS to such a satisfactory stat4s. you cau g«ess a gie;it opinion I bar* of that m?»! - *lae.

Repot tsr: " Besides the iß.?n.*'a».*s.stentß yen ha-e mc:it?.->ned did you bw*fit- sa oVheidi; actions ! " Sir. Garrick : "Certam'y J i : A, <vr<?ise I wocld net have got my strength back ki eoch 3. wondt-rful manner. Th« doctors kad said that indigestion was at the root of my tr&s;bles, and for that complaint Clemeiifca Tonic was superior to evetythiag I bid tried 'wfore.
