IMPURE BLOOD AND LIVER TROUBLE

Another* Case in Dunedia

Case of Mr. T. KING,

{By a Dwedin Reporter.)

At a well-appointed shop in Main*oad, South Dxmedin, a special repretentative interviewed Mr. Thomas King, irho carries on a boot-making business at the place mentioned. Mr. King made the following remarks: — %

" Some years ago my blood was in a frightfully bad state.« About forty or fifty boils came out on my arms and bands, and you can still' see the marks of some that broke out on my wrists. Di course I did not have them all at i>nce, but they came one after another R-ith such persistency that I commenced to think I was never going to get rid of them. The burning, aching agony oi thoso boils made me very bad-tempered. Some days I could not work for the pain I was in, and evenl when I waa taking a spell I always felt discontented a-nd irritable. Afc the same time I suffered greatly with my liver, a general depression, of spirits coming over me, and I looked on the black side of everything.© Tho food I ate neither sustained nor nourished me. It merely lay in my stomach in an undigested state, and the wind that came from the process of fermentation, which was going on inside caused me a lot of cramping pains and obstinate fits of belching," A dirty yellow colour appeared in my skin, together with a drowsy look in my eyes, which were very weak, with flitting ipecks before them. • Another accompaniment of my disordered condition vas a strangling sensation in ray throat, » troublo which immediately followed iho conclusion of my meals. I can ac:ount for this by haying a weighty feeljig in my chest, as if I had swallowed a jiece of bread which had turned to itono. Another hurtful symptom was t miserable aching pain across my brow; vndrbesides, I had sharp, stabbing tor.urea situated midway bet-ween my ihoulders, vr;th similarly aggravating mins in my side. The unpalatable taste a my mouth was enough to make ni6 lick, indeed, I often thought I would •etch my heart up. My tongue, too, iras none too clean. I believe that ong-ccntinned inaction of my bowels jad a great deal to do- with both my jlood and my liver being out of order." " Could you not rectify such a small natter as that ?" © could get nothing to restore regularity in that respect. Several kinds jf pills and medicines were tried, but jhey only had very violent and painful effects for a time, a»d left me in a worse fix than ever. I was greatly enter* rated and distressed by the loss of sleep. After being awake nearly all night I felt too fatigued and weak to> raise my hammer, and when I did work I can jssuro you it was greatly against my will, aa I had neither energy nor inclination for it. My nervous system waa so upseb that I could scarcely drive a nail straight, and I trembled all over very often v ithout any reason. My prospects of getting well looked very blue, for my appetite died out altogether, and the flesh rapidly fell away. I am euro I was a pitiable object to my customers as they came in and out ol my shop, and as the boils continued to Appear the most of my friends thought they were incurable. As all the mcdi* ain&a I had drank had no beneficial gffeet I lost heart and let things go anyhow, I thought it better to submit *x> tho inevitable than worry myself to Jeath." " Did you discontinue the use of medisine, Mr. King?" • " Yes, when I found they were use/e33. I,bad thrown too much money iway already. Then I was persuaded, to try something else. A friend said! Olenxents Tonic is the best medicine £oing. You ought to try it.' Sure snough I bought a couple of bottles, md I commenced to feel livelier, fhe nervous Switchings and mdiges•Aon trouble ceased, and I was able 'io eat and' sleep- well. My blood R-as purified by Clements Tonic, the joils disappeared, and my internal organs acted regularly. Strength gradually returned, and after a course of Elements Tonic I was perfectly sound." "I hope I may report your remarks ?" " You may publish them in any way fou like."
