ANOTHER LOCAL CURE. HERE ON THE SPOT. The Case of r/Ir. G. BERRY£V?AN. (by a special reporter.) A light so strong that it cannot be easily misunderstood was lately shed upon an im« portant subject by Mr. George Berrymaq, of No. 12a Hankey-street, Wellington, whosf remarks to our reporter were : “ The principal thing in life is, un doubtedly, good health, and when we have lost that we have lost everything. This was brought home to me very forcibly some eighteen months back, when I was suffering with influenza.” “ How did you manage to contract that com: laint?” asked the writer. “ Goodness only knows. I can’t tell you. All I know is that I commenced feeling ill, and I kept on getting worse and worse uutilafc last Iwa ■ compelled to lie up. When I once took to my bed it was a case of staying there for a week, and didn’t I feel miserable all that time—lying there and not being able to do anything for myself? It was a terror, I tell you, what with the pains and one thing and another. I got frightfully weak, too, and no wonder, for ths perspiration was always oozing out of me and 1 could not take any food that would have kept up my strength. That was where the real mischief came in after the feverishness had died away, for I believe that if 1 had then been able to eat I would not have got into the terrible condition I did.” '•‘Why; did yon fall away in weight much ?” “I lost twenty-eight pounds weight in three weeks, and if that was not enough to make a man a bit scared I don't know what was. Yes, two stone less in weight thaa when I was first taken ill, so you can form your own idea as to how much strength I lost as well. My body was all aches and I was generally out of sorts. The greater part of each night was spent in wakefulness, and to that as much as anything 1 attribute the irritable state of mind I got into. The least noise would make me feel cross, or even if I heard anything cooking it seemed to grate on my nerves and make me badtempered.” “ Perhaps your nerves were none too good, then ?”

‘‘They were not, you are right, for I could feel a sort of tremor continually run* ning through my body, as if my nerves were being thrilled by an electric battery. I got so melam holy that I always avoided company if possible. But then, you see, I waa always in pain and I had a peculiar feeling that I could not account for at all. One side of my head felt quite benumbed —no feeling in it of any sort, and the other side was all right, excepting for the horrible aches that usually tormented me. My sight got very bad, and my eyes so heavy that X could hardly keep them open sometimes. J was also suffering with pains in the stomach and an oppressive feeling in my chest, whic{_ \va- always worse after meals ; and the annoying part of all this was that 1 continued to take medicine week after week, and no good came from any of it. Then I began taking Clements Tonic out of sheer d speration, and it was a pity I did not take'ib in the first place as it would have saved me much of the misery I went through. Hut I am very thankful that things happened as they did jn the end, for I would never have got right with the drugs I was doctoring myself with. A few bottles of Clements Tonic worked wonders, though—easing the pains in my head and giving me such a restful feeling generally that I did not have the same trouble in getting to sleep at nights—and that helped me splendidly. To my surprise 1 soon began to eat well, and | found that after using Clements Tonic for a time the stomach and chest pains got less and '.hen left me altogether. Clements Tonic deserves a special word of praise for its action upon my nervous system, for the quivering of my nerves entirely ceased, and, ■when that was done, I got along rapidly. My lost weight was regained and I got stronger every day. It was not long before I could work hard all clay and walk home at night without feeling fagged out, and I am always mindful that it waa Clements Tonic which made me so healthy and sound. If anybody' wishes to ask about my recovery I shall be happy to tell them, and you may publish these facts in any way you like.” STATUTORY DECLARATION I.
