EVIDENCE AT YOUR OWN DOOR. Facts Worth Considering. The Case of Mr. J. GOODALL, (by a local, rkporter.) It is the custom of the day to take life aa easily as possible, and people invariably fight shy of anything savoring of a problem until their own interests are directly affected, unless it happens that the problem is solved for them by someone else, in which case they are naturally curious to know the conclusions arrived at. Whether or not subscribers have particular reason for investigating the following matter, the nature of the information gleaned will be equally valuable to them. It was Mr. Jack Goodall, a well-known actor of this city, residing at 171 Cuba-street, who was speaking to our reporter:— “ It is over two years since,” said Mr. Goodall, “ that I happened to catch sight of an advertisement in the paper which at once absorbed my attention, the reason being that it dealt with a matter about which I was particularly anxious at the time. It was some kind-hearted person’s testimonial to Clements Tonic, and when I had readied the end of the article 1 realised that tho case was in many respects similar to my own.” “You were not in good health, then?” interrupted the press representative. “ I was not, by any means, for I was suffering from indigestion, and had been for some considerable time. ‘lndigestion* sounds simple enough, does it not ? and before I was personally victimised by that complaint I held the opinion that it was a trumpery ailment about which people greatly exaggerated. The wretched time I ffad with it, however, completely changed my mind in regard to its insignificance, for I do not think that mortal man could have anything worse to contend with. The inconvenience and unhappiness which resulted to me through being persistently attacked by intense headaches make me look upon indigestion as one of the greatest enemies of mankind, especially when the other symptoms are taken into consideration. Wlnit can be more unpleasant than to ho walking along tho street and to he suddenly affected by those giddy sensations which used to occur to me when I was ailing ; and is there anything .more distressing than the pains in the chest which came afier meals, when the food seemed to lodge there and would not move ? Then the discomforts of flatulence have to be taken into consideration—that nasty, inflated sensation which gives one the impression that every particle of food has fermented instead of going through its proper process of digestion. Those were some of the things that robbed me of life’s pleasures for a long time, and, as the weeks went by, it became more difficult to retain the food I had takeii, as it often came up again after my evening meal. My nights were genet ally restless, and, in the mornings, I always had a bitter taste to remind me of the disordered state of my liver ; but the weak and weary feelings that pervaded my system were really getting unbeatable, and I was exceedingly glad when I read another man’s assurances that Clements Tonic was a cure for the ailments I was afflicted with.” “Had you taken any medicine before that?” “ Yes, I had tried several kinds of medicines, but no beneficial results accrued from them; but with Clements Tonic I have quite the reverse to say, and I think it my duty to other sufferers to speak out plainly and tell them that I have proved the worth of Clements Tonic as a specific for the complaint I was suffering from. For months I felt that I had no energy for anything, and was always drowsy and depressed in spirits ; but under the remarkable, influences of Clements Tonic my vita ity was soon regained ■ and the cloud of depres ion passed away. My appetite had been poor, but it became vigorous again ; and at nights I slept soundly and awoke with a clean palate. Release from headaches and giddiness also came through using Clements Tonic, and, for restoring my digestion, I am extremely grateful to that incomparable remedy. I do not go so far as to say that all these benefits came immediately and collectively, as that would hardly be correct•; but I can say, without the least hesitation, that the improvement I made was not by any means slow, and it was certainly sure.. To regain health and strength after enduring so much misery was something to be thankful for, and it is to Clements Tonic that my thanks are~ due entirely ; and you may publish these facts in any way you choose.” STATUTORY DECLARATION.
