Debility, Dyspepsia, LIVES? TROUBLES, ASS BanlsSied. The Case of Mr. F. CORY. (BY A •WELLINGTON REPORTER). By the noble self-sacrifice of our colonial troops in responding to the call to anna on behalf of the mother country when the South African war was declared we now have experienced soldiers returning to the colonies whose insight into the modern methods of conducting warfare should prove of great assistance in imparting practical military knowledge to our volunteer forces. « New Zealanders, Canadians, and Australians have proved themselves worthy foemen in every battlefield wherein they have been engaged, and the patience, intelligence, and foresight shown by them during the many intervals of scanty fare and other privations have aroused the- admiration of seasoned old warriors whose campaigns arc numerous. Their discipline and daring have been highly eulogised by the officers under whom they have served. At one time, owing to the deficiency of transport, the army had to perform much work that would otherwise have been done by horses and mules. After sleeping in wet clothes, and suffering the ravages of cold, hunger, and fatigue, besides drinking any water that could be i found, no wonder that such an appalling ! list of deaths occurred of those unfortunates ! who failed to escape the prevailing diseases, j The number of victims to enteric fever I forms a dismal feature in the history of the j war, and it is sincerely hoped that every | man who has recovered sufficiently to re- : turn to his home may soon enjoy the manly | strength which he exhausted in upholding ; the honour and dignity of the British Em- ! pire. An incident which is worthy of the I reader’s attention was supplied to our reporter by Mr. Frederick Cory, of Rixon Grove, Mount Victoria, Wellington. “ I am informed that you were in delicate health some time back,” hazarded the reporter. “ 1 would like to know the particulars of same if you have no objections ? ” ‘ ‘ I have not the slightest hesitation ia giving publicity to my experience of sickness, as I consider I shall be discharging an obligation and a duty at the same time. It is about twelve years ago, I dare say, since I first became run down in health through extreme heat and overwork. I was physi--1 cally and mentally worn-out, and my nervous ! system showed marked signs of my serious , state of debility.” ! *• Were you living in this city at tha time ? ” “ No, I was residing in Melbourne. I have travelled nearly all over the adjacent colonies, however, and I consider that the Buddcn changes of weather in some parts have had a great deal to do with bringing on my attacks of debility, dyspepsia, and j liver troubles. My appetite fell off com- ■ pletely, and I slept very poorly. I was also I troubled with indigestion. I felt tired and fatigued, with a great disinclination for • exertion of any kind. During the progress of those twelve years I have taken a lot of physic of various kinds, with the result that I am convinced there is no medicine to compare with Clements Tonic. I forget exactly how I came to start taking it, but when I did commence it was not long before I felt that I was in possession of a very j valuable medicine at last.” i " How did Clements Tonic act with you ? ” : “ Unlike all the other so-called remedies j I had been taking, I found that after taking ! a few doses of Clements Tonic I wa3 able j to sleep soundly and well, and my whole system gradually underwent a change for the better. 6 The recuperative properties of t Clements Tonic acted in a remarkable manner on my nervous system, which was toned and braced up once more. By degrees my appetite assumed its normal proportions, and I was thus enabled to regain my lost flesh. I lost all trace of indigestion, and the fearful headaches from which I used to suffer now departed. The disappearance of all my distressing symptoms was only a matter of time with Clements Tonic, which restored me to a first-class condition of health and’strength. a “ Have you used any medicine since ? ” f ‘ Only on a few occasions during the excessively warm summer months, when I take some Clements Tonic to keep me in ordet. I always found Clements Tonic a faithful' friend-, therefore you are at liberty to publish my testimony in any way you like. STATUTORY DECLARATION. t.
