The Case of Mr. C. BOUGHTON, (BY A DmrKDIN RirORTKR.) It is exceedingly difficult to get an actual acquaintance with the constitution of a country unless one has live I for a time in face-to-face view of its operation. Often the exact meaning of the words employed tu describe tho working of a cods itution can only be got on the spot, and so it is with matters concerning the iudiwdual members of every home. To gain an accurate insight into affairs that once affected Mr Clement Boughton, of No. 58 Farth-street, Dunedin, a reporter called at that geutl. man's residence and enquired : " Is it a fact that you were once ailing with imligestion, and that you are now quite cured ? " " That is so," answered Mr. Boughton, "and it is to Clements Tonic that my gratitude is due for being in Buch spleniid hj glth at the present time. It was when I was living at Tuapcka West, about four oV five miles from Lawrence, where I was working, that my sufferings began, and a fellow-workman put me on to taking tho remedy that cured me." "Had you been trying any other medicine bifore you took Clem«uts Tonic?" "I had taken several kinds, but they had no good effect; so that for fully five months I had to persevere with my work onder most unfavourable circumstances. My appetite got so frail that I scarcely ever enjoyed my meals, and many a day I had not the least inclination for food. It does uot take a great deal of that sort of business to reduce a man's strength, as I foun.t out to my sorrow, and when sleeplessness also itarted bothering me my vitality ran out all the more quit kly. In this way I soon became so languid that I had no desire for work at all, and with the feeling of drowsiness that settled upon ma 1 was not in the right frame to take interest in anything. Nearly the whole of some nights passed before I could get to sleep, and when I wokt up it was usually with a nasty headache, that tormented me for the rest of the day. A bitter taste in my mouth gave my morning meal an unpleasant flavour, and after eating ever so little I was afflicted with a heavy sensation in the chest, which seemed to interfere with my breathing. But that was not the worst part of my troubles, as my stomach used to become filled with wiml that arose from the undigested food, ind the pains that also came there were •evcre in the extreme. A now experience for mc, and one that I did not like either, was to find that my nervous system was Kreatly run down, for when I had done a little exercise my nerves w< re quite shaky, and at other times they started to trembU if anything occurred that gave me a start. Ofteu a strange mist gathered befure my eyes and gave me the impression that little dark specks, like grains of soot, were dancing in front of me, while, to make my life still more miserable, there were aches in my loins that sometimes made walking quite inconvenient. I am not altogether sure what caused it, although I suppoßo it was one of my indigestion symptoms ; but there was n pain right uuder my shoulder blades that I could hove done very well without; yet I had to bear every one of my ailments right op to the time I s'arted taking Clements Tonic, and then, I am thankful to say, I soon began to feel easier. Upon my word, I never experienced such a rapid change for the better in all my life, and my speedy recovery affords emphatic proof of the curing capabilities of Clements Tonic, which I can safely say is a gennine remedy for ailments similar to the ones I suffered from." " Can you remember the first benefits yoa derived?" " To tell you the truth, I felt more vigorous and cheerful after taking a couple of botth s of Clements- Tonic than I had been for a long time, and the appetite I got was surprising. By-and-bye I noticed that my food was going through a proper process of digestion, for the wind and stomach pains Itf t off annoying me, and the heaviness had gone from my chest as well. For curing headaches and making mo sleep, besides removing all pains and putting my nervous system into splendid fettle, I shall always bear pleading recollections of Clements T<nic, and you may publish these facts fox others' beuefit in any form you like."
