THE LIVER MAKES MISERY. Tries Every Physic 1 * Under the Sun.

Trto Cass of Mr. H. VS. STEPHENS(by a special seporteh.) AYr. Harry Williams Stephens, of No. C2 Daniel Street, Wellington, gave our representative a hearty welcome. On being ushered into a comfortably furnished apartment, the newspaper man had the pleasure of oecing several artistically painted pictures of New Zealand scenery. After giving rent to expressions of admiration, the writer enquired the artist’s name. “Oh, those are some of iny humble productions,” was Mr. Stephens' reply. “I am very foacl of painting,” said he. “ and I devote a lot of time tp the art. It is my principal hobby, and I am never idle so long as X have the health to pursue my practice.” “Are you ©ver incapacitated by illhealth?” J “ I have not been unwell for a long, long lime ; but once I was bo completely undone that I could not steady a brush in m3' hand. I 1 egan to suffer from intense frontal headaehes, which tortured mo night and day. My eyes felt swollen and heavy, the tight bring so impaired that I could scarcely distinguish one colour from another. JMy tongue was thickly coated with an unhealthy moisture, with the result that I had a continually bitter tastn. I am usually’ active and energetic, bub when I noticed niy.'df always languid and weary’ I wondered what was coming over me. I felt quite distressed and fatigued after walking but a short distance, and a strange feeling of dizziness came upon me whenever I rose from my seat- An idea came into ny head that it was only one of the trifling ailments of everyday life, which could be worked off if a man only’ had the determination and energy to indulge in sufficient exercise to shake himself up. I often tried to arouse the necessary will power, but I soon found that there was no vitality left m me. Very little exertion brought on a feeling of faintness, and at last I had to give in.” • , “ Perhaps you were not eating well ? 1 “You have guessed it. I could cat bu«* eery little, but that little was quite enough to cause a magnitude of violent pains in my stomach directly tho food reached its destination. There it lay undigested till it turned sour, by which means I was afflicted with eructations of wind, the pain meanwhile extending to my heart, and causing it to palpitate with great violence. My buck and loins were also attacked with acute Blabs of agony;, which took away all prospects of sleeping. Ail night* I turned from one position to another in the vain hope of falling asleep. Or course, I was fit for nothing in the mornings when it was time to got up. Instead of sitting down to breakfast like I used to, I simply lasted a mouthful or so of whatever had been prepared, and then a feeling of sickness at the-stomach came on, and 3 was obliged to (cave was so weak and worn out that X faced my vocation with as much loathing as though I were going to gaol. An oppressive feeling in my chest made breathing a diflicult task sometimes. Each time I drew my breath I felt as if a weight had been placed on my chest. As my complaint zuntinued to hack away at my system so long, my nerves begun to suffer more than ever. 1 I could not stand the noise of passing carta, and every time a person spoke to me auddculj' I.was greatly startled. A severe fit of trembling often came on without* an}' real reason, excepting that my nerves were out of control. My bowels were very inactive some days, whilst at oilier times they were quite reverse. I was nwfullv' thin and miserable, and at last, through being unable to obtain relief, I gave way to a fit of despair.” “ What medicine were you taking ? ” “ Well, their names are not worth mentioning, but X took, I believe, every physio under the sun. They were no good at all V-Uowever, I struck out In a different direction later 011. I read about s'-mc cures effected b\ r Clements Tonic, and after making euro that the statements were true
