tlie greatest affliction nf all, and I have had my share of it. I used to long for the morning to come to relieve my mind from the horrible ruminations which beset my brain during the long and tedious hours of night ; but when tlie daylight did appear in my room 1 was no better, for my inability to get up and busy myself made my lie'plc-sa cond'p ion all the more apparent. Another tiling I must not forget to mention is this : As 1 lay t ssing and turning in my extreme agony, I used to sweat |irofusely, and sensations of excessive heat were alternated by cold chill.’’ “ Do you think you contracted a severe cold ? ” “ I am not quite certain ; but I had indications that my kidneys wore in a very bad state. The pains in my back were be* yond all human endurance, and they came on so suddenly at times that they made me groan aloud I had a continual thirst, and although 1 drank large quantities of barley water and so forth, I could not appease the craving I had for more. My nerves were quite knocked out of time by my disease. I could not hold my hand still for ten seconds if you had given me a thousand pounds for doing so. - The slightest sound made me nervous and irritable. In fact, I was never in a good humour. Whatever was done to please me failed. I was despondent and melancholy to a degree that I did not think attainable. A recovery in my case seemed impossible, and I really thought my disease would prove fatal.” “ How long did you have a doctor attending you ? ” ‘•I was under first one doctor, then another, for close on twelve years, and I thought it was a fair thing to leave off hoping against hope after so much useless medical treatment. I gave up the doctors in despair, and started trying to cure myself with medicines I saw advertised. Each patent physic was given a good trial, but I may just as well have thrown my money in the river for all the benefit I derived. I’m sure I tried every patent medicine in tha country, but they were no earthly good to me. Yet I am now seventy years of age, and I am as well and hearty as ever I was in my life.” “ What an extraordinary change must have come over you. How did it happen ? ” “ Through the agency of a friend who told me Clements Tonic would make a new man of me. I bought some Clements ToniG and persevered for a while without any apparent} alteration, but in less than a week I felt a little better This encouraged me to keep going with Clements Tonic, and soon the agonising pains in my stomach and back died away. From that I improved daily, my appetite returning, and my head waa free from aches. Vomiting and all indigestion symptoms were cured by Clementa Tonic; my kidney troubles also disappearing. I slept soundly, and felt vigorous and light-hearted on awaking. I was made heavy and strong by Clements Tonic, which saved my life. I have never been ill since Clements Tonic cured me many yeai'3 ago.’* “Your statements will appear in print, with your permission ? ” “ You may publish my testimony in any way you please.” STATUTORY DECLARATION.
