A Disordered Liver.

Its Varicus Complications. FAITH OH A SUBSTANTIAL FOUNDATION. Tlje Case of Mrs. C. DOUCLAS. (BY A LOCAL REPORTER.) Almost opposite the entrance to the Botanical Gardens in Tina-koriroad, Wellington, there lives Mrs. Georgina Douglaß, with whom our reporter had the following interview : — " I wish to bring under the notice of the publio the facts relating to your past troubles. Will you please supply the details ? " was the question put by the writer. fl With the greatest pleasure," replied Mrs. Douglu.9. "I am so well known throughout the city of Wellington that dozens of people can substantiate my statements. Some years ago I had a very anxious tio.c thiough a serious und painful complaint, whi li cost me a groat amount of money, besides occasioning much suffering. " "Yes, Mrs. iJouglas. Wimt w.-.r your com] laint ? " ■ ■. liver was out of order, ainl from tlii.s duiuiigoment sprung a series of ailments. It eeeins to me that when a person's liver becomes affected with disease (lure ia no end to the maladies which cop u;> as a result of that important ortrn:i going wrong. That was the way. with mo, at any rate. First, I felt myself gcitiug languid and lowspirite ?, as if I had all i.he UvuV.cs in thf world on my shoulders. X took no care or interest in the work I had to do about my honst, feeling everything iiksome mil. irritating. A sensation of i';u|u cs.^in^ drowsiness was always upon nit' dm in_ ih'.- livelong d.iy ; yet, when I wr-nt ' <■• bvd the rest 1 obtained was very trilling, whilst in many instances I could notfileep at all, and had to get up feeling more tired and weaiy than wiieu I retired the previous night. Every morning my tongue was thickly covered > with an ill-lasting fur, w hich had a s-icLening ' effect on my stomach. I could cat but very little ; but whatever food I did paitako of disagreed with me and Liled to digest." " Were there any symptoms of iniiigrstion ? " " Yes, and very disagreeable cues, too. I felt violent pains between my shoulders and in my loin.'i, as well as terrible agony in my stomach after my meals. There was a feeling of heaviness and oppression in my nhe.st, as though a bar of lead was stationed there. Wlien I diew a bro th 1 experunced wiiat people call a painful stitch in my side. Dreadful sick headaches intensified my sufferings, and I became; so feeble and weak that"l could not walk far without being overcome with famines'. Km h day 1 got thinner and thinner, without the lo.iat li.igc of colour, and my eyes fell dull and swollen. There was a limp, aching sensation through out every limb. A state of nervous prostration then ensued. The sound of passing traffic proved to be a bore ; but, above all, 1 could not staiid the least noise i: it happened to come suddenly. Such surprises c.vise.l I. my nerves to shake again and again, and a strange trembling stole over me and continued for a long time. I'ulpitation of the heart was another trouble that I could not account fur, as there is not one member of our family with a weak l.part. I was so lifeless and melancholy that I hardly cared whether I lived or died." •' Could you obUun no relief from anj I medicine ? " " X<>t until I purchased several bottles oi Clements Tonic, which penetrated at once ;o the deeply-seated cause of my liver Jiaeasc. c I took this wonderful medicine when I was go exhausted and shattered in health that I thought nothing short of a miracle could cure me, so you see that my graat respect for Clemen 1 a Tonic has some substantial foundation. Several doses removed the pain and flatulence f.o-n my etomach, and the fi-st night I took Clements Tonic 1 slept well. Next morning I fell much better, a slight appetite appearing, and increasing daily. I did not feel drowsy after meals either, and shortly my awful headaches ceased. My nervous system was invigorated and toned by Clements Tonic, and the pains in my side an 1 shoulders faded away. My diseased liver yielded entirely to the healing and restorative in-, flueuces of Clements Tonic, each close giving me increased vital force, and ultimately restoring me to robust health. I think everybody should know the value of Clements Tonic, so you may publish these facts in any way you please."
