' _____ PtabSlc JNotFeea. Take This Lesson. LET IT MAKE A DEEP IMPRESSION. The Case of Mr. A, MERRY. (BY OtTR KKPOKTKR). It was the realisation of the immense source of advantage to his fellow-citizens which such experiences must result in that prompted Mr. Alfred Merry, of Wilkie Road, Kensington, Dunedin, to give these particulars to our reporter; — Ever since the days that I went to school,’’said Mr. Merry, “I have known what it is to auger from dyspeptic troubles; hut a little over three years ago I had a very bad time with indigestion. It seemed as if my disorders had been swelling in intensity during all the previous years, and had then broken out with their utmost violence. For a long time-1 noticed that my vitality was. on the wane, as I did not have any energy for my work, and when that was dragged tnrough I had no inclination for any sort of enjoyment at night. I did not want to exert myself in any way, and from the,time I got up in the morning I was praying for bedtime to come round again. I was always drowsy, depressed in spirits, and without the least particle of animation.” “ Were you able to sleep well when you retired at nights?” asked the scribe. , “ That was the funny part of it—or, I should say, the unfortunate part of it—for I could not get to sleep anyhow, not till the nights were far spent, so that would account for my weary feelings in the mornings. You see, my work is all done indoors, and I suppose the sedentary life I lead has a tendency towards destroying one’s digestion, for you can tell by the appearance of those who work inside offices and warehouses that their internal organs we not so healthy as those whose employment is in the fresh air. For some time 1 had not been a large eater, but when my health failed altogether three years ago I lost my appetite completely, so tffiat what I took was only forced down, and it did hot do mo any good either. The really the case, as any food gave me a feeling in the stomach as if wind had twisted and twisted till it had formed into a knot, and the pain was really terrific. In my shoulders—or, I should say, under the blades of them—l experienced a great amount of agony, and the pains that I had in my back were enough to make any man’s life a misery to him, without having auy other afflictions to put up with. My chest became so tender owing to the heavy pains that affected me that it v.'as positively painful to touch it with my finger, and it was quite surprising how short-winded I got owing to those horribly oppressive sensations. Having sustained such a great loss of strength through the years of suffering I endured, my nerves had nothing to support them,Qj,nd I got into that irritable and nervous condition that even the jolt of a car would annoy me.” “ You must have had a considerable amount of medical treatment daring so many years of adversity ! ” “ Well, of course ; for no man can go on continually in such a wretched condition and not make an attempt of some sort to get well. I was under the treatment of several doctors, but I was no better off when I had finished with them than I was before, and that made me more melancholy than ever. I felt that I did not value money or anything else, and many a time I wished 1 was dead. When I walked the aches across my loins were very troublesome, but the aches were not only there, as I could feel similar sensations in all my limbs, which was probably the result of the great ■weakness which i, . I overtaken me. My illness . had already assumed alarming dimensions—l might say ‘ alarming,’ if for Q) other reason than that I had gained no benefit from any medicines yet taken—and Iwasveryscepbicalabom thepossibilityofany physic improving my wretched condition, so I went to another doctor one day and asked him straigfatout if he could do me any good. He replied by asking me a lot of questions as to how I felt and so on, and then prescribed more physic. I returned to him several days after just as great a physical wreck as before, for at that time my nervousness was something intense, TH* least excitement used to cause my heart to throb in a frightful manner, and the nervous state of mind I was in had the effect of making me lose confidence in myself to do things that I had previously thought nothing of. The most unhappy ideas that coaid fill one’s mind used to occupy my attention and increase my mental misery, and although I was bom in Dunedin and know any amount of people here I had no desire to mix with anybody.” “It was certainly a very unenviable | predicament to be in,” remarked the reporter. “ It was the worst experience I ever had, and I thank God that I was by some means induced to take on Clements Tonic, for i nothing on earth appeared able to do ms ; any good, with the one exception of that capital medicine, two or three bottles of which had so improved my condition that I i thought a further use of it might result in { ray health being regained.” I “So you kept on with it t n ' i “ I should rather think so, andthe more Clements Tonic I drank the plainer it became to me that it was the best medicine that any human being could take, v Ar, increase in my appetite had already shown itself, and my heart was gladdened to find that the wind troubles after eating were quite overcome, so the pains from that cause were ended there and then. The removal of my indigestion afflictions had been a gigantic task up till now, but with Clements Tonic the matter became as simple as AB C, Clements Tonic had the effect of destroying chose feelings of restlessness which had kept mo from sleeping the greater part of my nights, and I eoald not possibly over-estimate the immense benefits 1 derived through getting so much sound rest « It meant that my spirits were bright when I awoke, and those tired feelings had also loft my limbs. There was no l itter taste in my month in the mornings, and the pains about my shoulders and loins were entirely dispersed. By persevering with dements Tonic I found that one improvement led to another—not like some physics I had taken, which seemed to do a little good today, and to-morrow I was squally ill—my chest pains being cured, and the drowsy, dull, and distressing sensations, Eke bilious headaches, were likewise got under control. My breathing became easier because the oppression in my chest had come into contact with the sweeping, operations tof Clements Tonic, and all the time these improvements were taking place there was a gradual addition being made to my vital force, which any mortal would hardly believe could be effected. A tremendous increase in strength and entire amelioration from my long sufferings were the blessings I realised through using Clements Tonic, and people would do well to treat such ailments as mine with the same remedy.” “ But how are they all to know this V’ “ Through the papers, if you will, and you can publish this account of my cure in any form you like.” STATUTORY DECLARATION, I, Aimo Mw-rt, of Wilkie Road, Kensmgtoi Dunedin, in the Colony ol New Zealand, do solemn and sincerely declare that I have carolull read the annexed document, consisting of three lolio and consecutively numbered from one to three, an that it contains and is a true and faithful accotu ot my illness and cure by Clemente Tonic, and alt contains my full permission to publish in any wa my statements—which I give voluntarily, without n ceiving any payment; and I make this solemn d claration conscientiously believingthesatne to bettor and by virtue of the provisions of an Act of tt General Assembly of New Zealand, intituled Tt Justices ol Peace Act, 1882."
