One Man Learns from Another’s Experience. The Case of Mr. T. GRANT. (BY A DUN JOHN Jlltl'OßTKlt.) It is gratifying, indeed, to find that the people of Dunedin me becoming so keenly alive to the necessity of extending help to those who are in need of it. Fortunately, cases of real hopelessness are not yet comparatively numerous, but that such cases have apparently existed there is no room for doubt, as will bo'found on perusal of this narrative, which is supplied by Mr. Ihomas Grant, of Marionstreet, Cavcrsham, Dunedin. “ Doing a native of Dunedin,” said Mr. Grant to a special interviewer, “ I do not like to see my fellow citizens sullcriug year in and year out without trying to do something to assist them out of their dillicnltiea, and i, think the most terviccablc act I can perform is to let them know whiij. I have gone through. For eight months 1 suffered, dreadfully from sciatica, and I ho most awful pains you could think of alluded me down my leg to the heel, and right across my back.” “ Were you compelled to take to your bed ?” interrogated the reporter. “ I should rather think I was. For two mouths 1 was oblige 1 to lie up, and during must of that time I was scarcely able to move. No tongue could tell what the agonies I endured were like. Ihey were frightfully severe, and I do not want them to come back again, believe me. Snfleiing as 1 did had the effect of upsetting the •whole of my system, and I went as thin and as while as you could possibly imagine. Not only was I helpless to move about, but I was j. fleeted by an intense languid feeling as if every' drain of vitality bad been sapped out of me, and I was so downcast and depressed that I had not the slightest interest in anything in the world. My liver had got into an awfully disordered state, for my tongue had a nasty thick coating on it and the taste that was in my mouth used to make me feel sick. Whatever trouble was gone to to make something to tempt my appetite it never mot with success, tor I bad no inclination at all for food, and after trying my hardest to make a bit of a show ■ f eating 1 soon bad to turn away' from ibo sight of it owing to the sickly feelings which came on, Hut trouble soon followed upon the little I had masticated. It was a sort of compressed feeling in the chest which first appeared, and when I drew my breath it was always with a certain amount of exertion, as if in doing so I was lifting a heavy weight each time. My sight got bleared, and 1 used to get giddy so retimes without cl.-ing anything to bring it oni Across my' loins I had such terrible pains fit• t 1 could never rest for them, and they seemed to make mo so still that if I bent down I could hardly raise myself up again, while the act of doing so gave me more torture than ever. One disaster was followed by another, and it seemed to mo that iny ue.ie never going to stop being added to. for .bo most part my nights were sleepless, ami oh ! how horrible it was to be lying there m pain and not have a few hours slumber to enable me to forget my atllictious! The limit of human endurance was surely reached then, for there is no doubt that my patience was greatly' taxed. Any kind of food turned sour, and I soon got bulged out with wind after taking it. The gases that came from the tormented food used to roll about terribly, and the twins I bad in the stoma 1. were frightfully' severe, Dealt palpitation sometimes troubled mo, but the headaches I was alllicted with wore enough to drive mo to distraction. My eyes not only BOemed to have got bigger, by the way they felt, but the whites of them hj d become quite yellow', and my sight was not good by any means. ’ .. “ If you are fond of reading that would go bard with you.” “To tell you the truth, 1 did not care «nougti about anything at that time to bother about rending or anything else. All 1 my thought! were of a morbid turn, as my mind was always worried by reliediug over the lu.dpless condition I was in, and there scorned no likelihood of ever gelling heller." “ What made you take sucli a despondent view of your case ?” “ I based that assumption on the fact that I had been taking medicine all the time and my liver troubles were just as had as ever. They were really gelling worse, for 1 hail a pain like a knife being driven between my shoulders, ami the aches across my loins had got so bail Hint I was frightened to move. My nerves were excessively shaky, and by this lime 1 had fallen away to a skeleton. 1 lost fully two stone in weight, so that will tell you that 1 was terribly emaciated The doctors were exceedingly kind and attentive, hut their treatment was not successful. In addition to their ‘ medicines, 1 tried all tilings going, and my sorrowful condition was not altered. Seeing myself going down further and further made mo extremely anxious, and I almost worried myself to death through thinking that I would never ho cured.” “It seems that you worried unnecessarily.” “ Don’t you believe D, for I bad no reason to hope fur a recovery until I had taken some Clemen is Tonic,'as Unit was tho only medicine which gave me any benefit, anil I am sure I would still be crippled in health were it not for the fact that I just took Clements Tonic in lime. It was a glorious thin.' for mu that I did got some, as I was heartily sick of sulleriug amDdid not care what happened; hut Clements Tonic put quite a different complexion on the situation, and in about two or three weeks after commencing its use 1 knew that I was saved, for my pains had greatly diminished and I was eating better than 1 had dono lor months. The chemist 1 went to first said he could give me something equally good to Clements Tunic, but I would not listen to him, anil when 1 wont again he asked mo what 1 had been taking sin e my last visit. 1 told him Clements Tonic, and I must give him credit f r being candid enough to say, ,‘lt is making a man of you. So it was. My nerves were soothed ami strengthened, and I could go to bed and never wake till morning. What a blessing that was after so many nights of mental worry and buddy puns to endure. Under the power of Clements Tonic my liver soon got healthy again, and thus the tortures in the various parts of my holly were put an end to. A few weeks’ use of Clements Tonic and there were no headaches left, no windy spasms or shoulder pains, no hitter taste or furred longue, or aching loins ; hut instead I was sound, ami strong, and ao'ivo, iyul I thank Clements Tonic for restoring to me all the joys and comforts of life.” “You don’t mind giving publicity to this . “ I would he very ungrateful if I did. 1 have already advise 1 scores of sick p'oph; to use (dements 'Tonic, which is the best medicine in the woild, anil you can publish my remarks in any way you choose ’ STATUTOUY DITt.U!
