Mr. W. T. ROSE DOES NOT THINK, HE IS SURE HE CANNOT PROPERLY PICTURE The Horrors of his Illness The Case of Mr. William Thomas Rose (From the "Neptan (Penrith, N.S. IF.) Times.") (BIT our special reporter.) A report having reached this office to the effect that Mr. W. T. Rose, of High-street, Penrith, had some time since established himself in firm health by the opportune use of a certain remedy after suffering for a long time from a stubborn and dangerous illness, our reporter called at Mr. Rose's house, and asked him what ailed him some time back. " Well," replied that gentleman, "Iwaa afflicted with A Terrible Nervous Complaint. It came upon me when I was weakened, and niy constitution shattered by a long continued internal complaint. I caught cold when out on an all-night fishing excursion, ami on returning home was seized with griping cramps at the bottom of the stomach. While it lasted the pain w«s sititply excruciating. I was bent double with pain, with my two hands presse 1 upon my stomach. I changed to a deadly colour, iml couldn't utter a word. It felt as though my bowela were tied in knots. Gradually the cramps subsided, and left me free for two or three days. Then the spasms came on again. The" torment was worse than before. Once more I slowly recovered, but only io be seized again and again with these racking spasms. Often in the height of the an uish I positively thought I should be Buuffcil out. 'One minute more of this f.j{<uiy,' I said to myself, 'and I shall be a dead' man.' I slowly got weaker and weaker. Every seizure left me worse." " Did you get no advice ? " Mr. Rose laughed at the question. " I should think I did," he replied. " I tried everything, but nothing I used at that time could ward off the cramps, or even give me relief." " I suppose you had other symptoms ? " " Yes, my onetime splendid appetite deserted me, and whatever I did eat gave me a Painful Feeling of Oppression right here (Mr. Rose placed his hand on the lower poition of his chest to indicate the spot). Wearisome headaches troubled me, and a sharp, twinging pain between the shoulders frequently made itself felt. In the morning I found my tongue thickly coated with a disagreeable substance. My breath was foul, and after every attempt to jut, wind would generate in my stomaeh." " Your liver was affected, pe: ha; 3?" " Yes, very badly; but I hardly know "hat portion of my body was not afllicted. i'iien my nerves began to go. That was the .ist straw. I had battled as cheerfully a3 •uasible against my disease, but now this >ew infliction made me Cotvnhearted" Deyonci Expression. When I stood u<i I \va<i so gi-ldy and shaky hit I had to take hoUl of pomethi g to ....,!y myself. I w.s frightened to wall; ■ ross the"road. All ni.tiht'loin.' 1 hiy in bed •ili of a shake, and twitching frightfully. All .oils of FeosiSh and Unwarrantable '.'errors ivonld crowd into my mind. I had to sit up :.i 1,-.i. I real.y date nut lie down. My .ic pi.wlcncy increased day by day. I an't describe the awful nervousness that v.'S upon me. 1 went into a shaking tit nroujh nothing at all. The blessiug of '("'.") "was da: ied mo. My nights were one ~::< misery, and [ dreaded the approach of lid'tr.r.c.

" i suppose you had the attention of a doctor ?" "Yes, I had as many as five different doctors, but none of them could cure me. Sonic sli-d'.t temporary relief was alt that i ever obtained from their medicines, and I was soon as bad as ever again, if not worse. I also obtained all sorts of physic from the chemists, and my wife bought me ;,.,-.•. i-cdicinea which were warranted to cure r.ie straiuhfc off. ' '• Cut they didn't do it?" «' They were all rubbish," said Mr. Rose, emphatically just new-fangled catchpennies ; but you know how a sick man clinas to the weakest hope." *' I threw them up again often as not; they wouldn't stop on my stomach, and I spent pounds and pounds on them, and ali for no result. When I now look back and think of the Miserable State I was in then I truly wonder I survived. Why, do you know that I fell away from 11 stone to 8 stone odd. I was a mere shadow of my once strong and robust condition. My bones were almost coming through my skin. I was come to the Last State of Misery. The present was full of gloom and suffering, and the future held out to me little Aiope of recovery. At last I gave up all hope of ever getting better. I was as bad as a man could be and still live. In fact, I no longer cared what happened to mo. Hope was quite dead. Then my wife came to me with Clements Tonic. ' You must give this a trial,' she fcaid. ' It's no use,' I said to her, ' there's no medicine in the world that can lift me up again, I've Sunk Too Low,' She pressed me to try just one dose, and as it was easier to take a spoonful than to argue, I took some. My wife t' on insisted on me taking the doses regularly." " What effect did Clements Tonic have?" " Marvellous—it was like the touch of a magician's wand. You never caw a man get better so quickly as I did. The crumps in my stomach entiivly ceased. My liver began to resume its pir-per functions. My digestion improved, ami tin* food which foMiierly caused pain, wind, a:;a distress now began to properly n u:i-h F«ly Worn Out Frame. A new hope sprang up. I began to bestir myself, for I felt 1 had found a vnu dy to wluc'i I could pin my f-i'.h. My nerves became stronger, ard t had no more nervous twitchings. I had dcoper and longer sleep every niv! t. Uodpr the invigorating influence of Cements Tonic I Threw Off" My Nervousness altogether. It was just li-:o getting rid of a heap of cankering chains. Ins'eid of being despondent I was now hopafui, it not cheerful. I came along as'onbiiiiiJy. I was always hungry. 1 never seemed able to get enough to cat, nnd, natnral'y enough, I began to put on llssh My nerves continually improved. 1 laughed at oc.ng nervous now. 1 soon r'\.;rv:.ed my i<wt weight, and was ab'o to go about my work again ps well as ever. It was as though years had been put on my life." " You think ClcmenU Tonic did this for you ?" "! Don't Think—-Km Sirre. Plainly speaking, Clements Tonic dragged me back out of the very jaws of death." " About publishing tins -you don't object?" ".No, on the contrary. I wish it to be made pul.dic, and if you hadn't called itp< n me, it was my intention to n>:!.o i special journey to Sydney to pnt my ivise in the papers I wish to make t!ie means of my miraculous recovery public as a duty I Ov/tJ to iiid.sli.il2!C«j and may it bring hope ami health to others an it did to inc."
