AN INSTRUCTIVE NARRATIVE 'I FOR INEXPERIENCED PEOPLE. The Qase of Mr. J. McLEAN.: (Bt A DISINTERESTED REPORTER.) There must be many untold tales' of «ffering which are pitiful in the extreme—.lea into which the actual pathos of helpcasness enters unmistakably, and which lemand our sympathy no less because those vho might toll them remain silent than leoause they may be - uncharitable and ndifforent to the welfare of those around •hem. Such imthoughtfulneßS cannot be ■barged against Mr. John McLean, of 51 6ay View Terrace, Maitland-street, DuneUn, as will bo seen by those who read the iollowing:— “ I have been informed,” said a reporter, ‘that you were once a sufferer from liver roubles, and that you finally effected a lecovcry after you had been ailing a good ength of time. Will you toil me how it ►as done ? ” . “I presume you propose to enlighten •there through placing my experiences before them, and, if that is the idea, I will jladly give you all the information possible, is it should certainly be tlw means of helpng anybody who is struggling against the iates like I was. It was when I was living n the suburb of Carriugton, near Newcastle, S"ew South Wales, that I dropped across *he best medicine I ever encountered in my life, aud that was Clements Tonic; and I nay as well tell you that I have had some ixperience with medicines, for my complaint auug on to me for ton years. Occasionally I got a little relief, but nothing could shift It out of my system. Not oven doctors’ nedicincs nor anything else that 1 purShased.” “ What kind of symptoms did you have ? ” “ All sort*,” replied Mr. McLean, “ and none of them were very mild ones either. sfou see I was connected with mining in those days, my work consisting of weighing die coal as it reached the top of the pit, and I daresay the coal dust had a detrimental tffeet upon my digestive organs. At any ;ate, they were quite upside down, as it (vere. During my ten years’ suffering you nay depend that I tried more doctors than )ne, but they could not cure me. I blame llie long contiuuance of my indigestion troubles for resulting in my being subsequently afflicted with asthma, and it makes me think what a lifetime of misery could have boon avoided had I known of Clements Tonic j earlier. My system was terribly weakened, and I used to get palpitation' of the heart very badly. I could actually see my coat moving u r and down with the heavy pulsation of my heart. There is no -o.uht that my complaint attacked me very tavagely, for my appetite was completely worn out, and there was therefore no prospect of my strength ever coming back so long as I could not eat my food.” “ Could you always retain what you had iwailowed ? ” “That was the worst of it. Even the imall amount'of nourishment I managed to consume did not stay down, and the retching of it back again used to thoroughly exhaust me. Before that took place I always experienced a terrible fulness in the itomach, and I can explain it to yon quite well. It was the food that fermented and filled ms with wind, and the painful spasms I had to endure were something awful. Then my chest used to get horribly compressed, so tight, in fact, that 1 could hardly draw a breath, and to make life still more dismal I had attacks of bilious headaches now and again. A matter of deep concern was my sight, for I could not read with any pleasure owing to its being so defective, and there was a heavy, swollen feeling in my tyes, as if I could hardly open them. My usual condition was—all the day drowsy ind littleor no sleep at nights. It was a Wretched state of affairs to go to bed knowing that I would hot get any proper rest, ind<,to lie thinking about all sorts of suhappy possibilities was enough to make invoue morbid and ' depressed. As mv weakness increased so did my limbs ache at the more, and the pain across my loins wai so bad that I did not like moving abonb With' a furred tongue and a bitter taste ii my month, every morning, how could 1 expect to feel otherwise than sick! And 1 have yet to mention the severe pains th»i attacked me between my shoulders. It wot like something pricking me all the time and then there were bussing sounds in mj ears, too. All' those things tended to maki me the most unhappy of men, and to know by the cloudy sediment ib the urine that mj kidneys were' also deranged only accentu ated my feelings of misery. My nervei had become somewhat shaky under tliii incessant strain, and the loss of weight I sustained was almost appalling.” “Did you get any of it back when yot commenced with Clements Tonic ? ” “Rather! but that was not the only waj in which I benefited by using that wonder ful medicine, as it acted in such -ai extraordinary style that it put new life,inti me, and I felt myself getting move inclinec to do some work every day. As an invigor ator I am sure there is nothing to approacl Clements Tonic, for it seemed to act like * charm upon every weak spot and 'aavi strength behind it. The poor attempts 1 used to make to eat were incidents of th< past after I had been under Clements Toui« a while, ami what I can give especial credi* to that medicine for was for making mi sleep well. Its soothing influence over tin nerves was quite remarkable, while iw action upon my kidneys was all that ] could desire. To find all these improve ments taking place after I had keen ailing so long, and after I had been disappoints to often by other medicines, was somethin! that made me extremely thankful ti Clements Tonic for, end I think it only. right that I should try and comfort thosi ailing now by letting them know that tin means by which my health was regained an at their own command. It was a gresl relief to me to be free from the oppressivi feelings in my chest, for then I could breatl without any trouble, and another meroifu amelioration of suffering which came througl using Clements Tonic was the eradicatioi of the pains from the lower part c.( my bad and also from between my shoulders. I hai not taken a great quantity of that medicim before the vomiting troubles were entirely stopped, and the windy spasms that hai caused so much torture were treated witl equal success. To be once again able to ge about without any aches or pains wa enough to make any man joyful, and fca being animated with renewed activity like' was, I am always mindful that it wa Clements Tonio which made me so. Mi experience goes to show that there can b, no question about that medicine's supremac over, all others for ailments such as mine and, as I said before, I am sorry I did no knew of its reliability and worth before.” “ Belter late than not at all.” “Yes, indeed; hut I would like othe sufferers to know about Clements Tonic a early in their illness as possible, so you raw publish these remarks in any way it please you.” / STATUTORY DECLARATION.
