Wiiat is still celled Old Government House, situate in George-street, Windsor, is now tlie residence of EV3r. Joseph Beyers, Paints. 1 ' ancl Contract©!/-. It was here that a reporter from the Australian was fortunate enough to find that gentleman. “ I come to learn something of Your Present Good Health,” eaid the reporter. “Concerning my illness, you mean,” replied Mr. Meyers. “ I shall be pleased to tell you all about it.” Our reporter seated himself opposite Mr. Meyers, who said—- “ My energy began to wane away. I used to wonder what was the matter with me, for my work, in which I once took a pleasure, now became a burden to me. S Was AEv/ays Tired, and was just as weary at the commencement of the day as at the finish. A queer pain started in the upper portion of my back. It felt like a sharp stab between the shoulders. There was a Bitterish, Sour Taste in my mouth in the mornings, and I couldn’t tackle my breakfast, which was, up to then, my best meal. Indeed, my appetite began to fail altogether. I was very sleepy and dull all day, and hardly cared to move unless I was absolutely compelled.” “ How did you sleep at night time?” “ Badly—very ; I kept on waking up En Fits and Starts the night through, and the pain in my back was very often severe enough to keep me wide awake for most of the time.” “ Did you gueas what was the matter with you ?” “ Oh, yes ! I knew very well my liver was out of order, and I frequently took strong purgatives and other medicines to make it work properly again, but nothing I then took could check the progress of the complaint, and since then I’ve come to the conclusion that the regular taking of cathartic medicine is a great mistake. Then • terrible Headaches Afflicted IV!e. I couldn’t eat a mouthful of food now without suffering’- great discomfort afterwards, such as wind and distension and pain in the chest, and every few days I should have a bad bilious turn, when the very thought o£ food would almost turn me up.” “ Did your liver troubles give rise to any secondary symptoms ?” “ Yes, most serious ones. My nervous system got completely unstrung. The merest trifles would give me a painful shock. I lost my interest in things in general, and began to get thin and pale. I thought I was going to become a confirmed invalid. I felt GarnpleteEy Worn Out, and was just about to try a change of air when my eye fell upon a paragraph in a newspaper telling the result of using Clements Tonic in a severe case of liver complaint. It was through reading this that 1 was induced to obtain a couple of bottles, and E Was Fairly Astonished. at the celerity with whicli it stopped tka pain in my back. Clements Tonic braced me up splendidly. I began to lift up mjr head .again instead of dragging about day in that heavy, drowsy way. I was able to take some exercise now, and could eat s>.nd sleep again properly. Wo Fslore Headaches or nervousness troubled me, and I was at the fourth bottle when I was quite well, and getting as stout and strong as ever, and considered it no longer necessary to take Clements Tonic regularly, though I took a dose now and then to clinch the cure, as it were.” “ How is your health now ?” “ Perfect, and my liver must have been completely cured, for never since have I felt it.” “ And you think Clements Tonic eradicated the disease ?"’ “ I’m quite sure of that, for it was the remedy I should have, taken at first if I had known of it.” “ With your consent this interview will appear in the Australian “ Certainly, I should like it to.” Declared to be true, LX Windsor, this 10th day c i July, 1898.
