TO.VrUrtlJ. WHICH NlYin LULLED A triumph FC7I CLEnENTi TurilC. The Case of Mr J. MARKS. (By a Special Kef oiler.) Attention having been called to an exceptional incident in the neighbourhood of St. Kilda, Dunedin, a reporter was sent to interview ihe principal in the case —Mr. John Marks, of R.chard-sou-street. Mr. Marks lias lived in St. Kilda many years, and enjoys the acquaintance of numerons residents ol that suburb. The specific object of the reporter's visit was to obtain the ungarnished truth from Mr. Marks' own iips, so he began by a.sk'ng that gentleman from what complaint he had suffered. "Lumbago," was the reply. " Every bone in my body became pauifu, and tender. The agony was so great that I could not bear to move, as, when I did, the suffering was increased beyond description. All my joints were stiff and sore, bub the most-- intense pains were situated in my back. I could not; stoop to lace my boots, and it took fully an hour to dress myself, for when I moved my arms or bent my body I was seized with such acute pains that my aching frame shook all over. My constitution ran right down. I had no energy or desire for anything, except to lie down, which I was obliged to, at last, for a longer stretch than I appreciated. I was laid up four weeks, being as helpless as a child. The wretched nights I put in I shall never foiget. Every day I felt du'l and exhausted with continuous torture, but when darkness set in the agonies wer<* worse. My limbs became inflamed and frightfully tender. The bedclothes were Irritating to the skin and felt too heavy for my weak frame to bear. I wai stifled and weighed down with a sense of oppression in my chest, and could only draw my breath in short ga.-ps. 1 used to pray to get a little sleep, but k never came. My brain was as fatigue.l as my body with this constant worrying wakefulness, and I could neither read nor hardly ever think. I was simply existing without any tangible reason for doing so, as my faculties were all dead, excepting the ever-present torture •vhieh never lulled." ' After lying up four weeks you were ircatly improved, I presume?" " Not greatly—only very slightly. A -hemist gave me some medicines which produced a little temporary ease, so I cot up, thinking I would soon be all light again. I was sadly mistaken, as my ailment soon became more severe and vexatious than ever. The pains in my back and loins were now more than [ could stand. My appetite fell away 'ill I could not eat as much as a biscuit and even milk foods would not digest. 'Darting pains came between ho shoulders, making me very restless ind fidgety. If an occasiora! warm day happened to come along I was perfectly useless and helpless. Even a moclerite'y warm sun was too s f rong for my lehilitated system to stand. I f It sick it the stomach through a nauseous taste in my mouth, besides being t orbled vith vomiting and belching up t f wind. s!?ep'e sness became chronic, and by ay enforced sacrifice of rest I was almost crippled with weakness. The:! my lerves gave way, an affliction which n;ide me easily startled and (err Tied. fho sound of voices, or even the sii ging ,f a bird, was irritating to my ears, nd invariably increased the muteness jf my increasing headache-. After mv irst experience wi hj thechem st's modi ■ines I thought there was no hope of •ver getting properly right again ; but it length I chanced to read in the >nper about a fellow-sufferer who had Seen cured by Clements Tonic, cf which nedicine I there and then made a purhase. To my unspeakable astonishment and delight I commenced to feci a decided change for the better after 'aking several closes of Clements Tonic. an appreciable increase in my appetite being the first sign of improvement. Little by little the excruciating pains in my back subsided, till there were none left. Stomach discomforts, headaches, body pains—all vanished like a myth. A gradual return of strength ensued till I was as sound and strong as over. My troubles ended after a good course of Clements Tonic, and I have not even had a headache since." " You will see your remarks in print." "I hope others may also. You can publish these facts in any way." STATUTORY DECLARATION. I, John Marks, of Richard-jon-street.
