(See “Newtown Independent ,” June 18,1595. J (BY OOF. SPECIAL REPORTER.) Mr. I. Perlman is a clothier, and resides and carries on business at No. 34 Sussexstreet, Sydney. He is now in excellent health, but he informed the reporter that a few months ago he was in a terrible plight. “My Kidneys and Liver both went wrong,” explained Mr. Perlman to the reporter, “ and none of the doctors could do anything for me. If I had but known,” said Mr. Perlman, somewhat regretfully, “of the virtues of Clements Tonic when I first fell sick, I could have saved AH the Doctor’s BiSSs.” “ Will you kindly state the beginning of the trouble and its progress ? ” asked the reporter. “ I will with pleasure. I noticed my appetite became very touchy. I should suddenly get quite hungry, and then, after eating a few mouthfuls, I took quite a Disgust to my food. Wind frequently troubled me after meals, bringing on belching, and I could taste my food for hours after eating a meal. In the mornings I woke with a dull headache and a most unpleasant, bitter taste in my mouth, which was Dry awd parched. , Then pain began to trouble me at the pit of the stomach, as well as between the shoulders and across the loins. As time went on these pains became more intense. I had no inclination to eat anything, and would turn away with a JFeelmg of Sickness from the most tempting dishes.

I managed to get out of bed once a day, just as a matter of form, for when I-was up I was not able to do anything, and was Competed to Lie Down most of the time. I always felt dull, weary and depressed, and my head felt as heavy as a weight. I could not hold it up, but had to rest it on the back of a chair. My eyes ached continually, and to save them a little I used to turn my face away from the light. There I would lie with half-shut eyes, almost Unab3@ to. Move, and getting thinner and thinner and weaker and more yellow every day. My kidney symptoms, about which I won’t go into minute particulars, Were Very Distressing. There ,was a dragging feeling across the loins as though a heavy weight was there, and sometimes a sensation as though something alive was gnawing at me. Then a sharp, twinging pain would strike me further up the back, which was so piercing that it would cause me suddenly to sit bolt upright and ~trScr©am omit with Agony, I could do no work. My wife had to attend to the shop, and go out aud do all my business transactions. The doctors told me (aud I went to several) that both my kidneys and liver were affected, but that they would probably get right in time if I followed their directions and took their medicines, I
