and its Resulting Liver Trouble Radically Cured. The Case .of MR. HARRY SAMUELS. (From the “ Suburban Times.”) (BY our special REPORTER.) Ivy Lane runs from Cleveland to Abercrombie Streets, Redfern, Sydney (Mr. Samuels has since moved to 6 Louis Street), and the other day our reporter might have been seen making his way up that thoroughfare till he arrived at a certain house, whereat he knocked. “ Does Mr. Samuels live here? 5 ’ aßked the newspaper man. ~ “I' am he,” replied the gentleman who had opened the door, and Mr. Samuels hospitably invited our reporter to come - in and be seated. < . “Thereis no doubt,”said Mr. Samuels, referring to his late illness, “ but that I was’ very dangerously iIL People may . say - ■ what theylike about la grippe or - influenza, z as it is often called, not. being much worso : than a. bad cold, but I know very different. I. was unfortunate -enough to catch la grippe, and was at once prostrated.^s.An overpowering sense of - weariness and heaviness lay upon me. Appetite wa| absolutely absent, and when I ate the foos had no taste to me. Intense frontal headache seized upon me, and soon racking pain® laid hold of me in every limb, and it wasn’t long before the pain had spread' to all portions of my body. Running from the mouth and nose set in. I became very feverish, my temperature going up steadily all the time, and, although I couldn't eat, I was forced to drink large quantities of water to satisfy my intense thirst. I was obliged to lie up in bed. I couldn’t sleep, , but lay the whole night through in k sort of doze, very often breaking out in a cold, clammy sweat.” ® ‘ ‘ That’s usual in la grippe, Mr. Samuels. “ Yes. 1, as I thought, ; began to slowly recover. The fever gradually abated, a slight- appetite made it® appearance, and, although weak, I was just able to get oiit. But I was deceived. I wan far from being well. The influenza had indeed gone, but it had left behind it something worse than itself. Again a heavy feeling crept oyer me ; again my head was tortured with pain ; and again I got panis in my body * hut this time the agony was centr ed between my shoulders, in my side, and across the loins. I was thoroughly alarmed. I saw the doctor ; lie examined me, and pronounced my illness to be 9. derangement of the liver and kidneys a result of tlie-influenza. He gave nis-a>ia« medicine, which, of course. I took, but I •grew no better, and to complicate thb-irsmid make them worse, rheumatism >yu ed in my hones, avid fairly crippled me. 'j “ Wiutwei'e the pains in theU>V*rKkc ?” Excruciating.’ I-can’t find 'words to tell you how bad they were. Sometimes it felt , as if S'* many knives were Leaving at my lleshT' It was so awful at. iiJght—then ,7 filjf* always, ii urt. inp; most—that. tvifttt Tittie ; • sleep I did obtain -I only got iii. a sitting posture. It . was impossible for me to Ho . • fiewn in bed. - In fact, it was as much as I could do to move at all. * My. tongue was • covered wi th‘ a thick coating of some sub* stance, which was very unpleasant to the taste and smell. My skin got of' a deadly yellow colour. My sight v ? 0« disturbed, and my limbs and head hung like useless weights upon the bed. I was terribly thm and weak, and generally in an awful state.” “Whatmedicines did you take? “After having tried doctors’ medicines without avail, and many other advertised pills and medicines: information reachedme about Clements Tonic,: and I made a trisu some.”' ' ‘..'.‘'7 , .. f * \ “ The result was?” • \y' '" ■ ■ J “ I’m not exaggerating in the least when I say that one bottle of that remedy effected a change in me that astonished the. neighbours and all my friends, v, They all had expected to see me months getting better, and here I was knocking about again' in a week or so as though I had never been ill, I obtaiiied this result by regularly taking Clements Tonic, and it soon cured my liver and kidney trouble. That remedy also gave me a grand appetite, and drove the rheumatism clean out of my bones. After I had taken five bottles I was in splendid health, and had no need to take more. I am in perfect health now, and you can ref©? r anyone to me for an opinion of Clements Tonic, and print what I have said to you as much and in any way you like.” STATUTORY DECLARATION.
