THE LIYER MAKES MISERY. Tries Every Physic Under the Sun. mo Cass of Mr. H. ¥/. STEPHENS. (BT A SPECIAL KEFORI'ER.) Mr. Harry Williams Stephens, of No. C2 Daniel Street, Wellington, gave our representative a hearty welcome. On being nshered into a comfortably furnished apartment, the newspaper man had the pleasure nf seeing several artistically painted pictures D f New ' Zealand scenery. After giving rent to expressions of admiration, the writer enquired the artist's name. "Oh, those are some of my humble productions," was Mr. Stephens' reply. "I am very fond of painting," said lie, " and 1 devote a lot of time to the art. It is my principal hobby, and I am never idle so long as I have the health to pursue my practice." , " Are you over incapacitated by illhealth ?" ■ " I have not been unwell for a long, long time ; but once I was so completely undone that I could not steady a brush in my hand. I began to suffer from intense frontal headaches, which tortured me night and day. My eyes felt swollen and heavy, the sight being so impaired that I could scarcely distinguish one colour from another. My tongue was ■ thickly coated with an unhealthy moisture, with the result that I had a continually bitter taste. I am usually active and energetic, but when I noticed myself always languid and weary I wondered what was coming over me. 1 felt quite distressed and fatigued after walking but a short distance, and a strange feeling »i dizziness came upon me whenever I rose from my seat. An idea came inlo my head that it was only one of the trifling ailments of everyday life, which could be worked off tf a man only had the determination and energy to indulge in sufficient exercise to thake himself up. I often cried to arouse the necessary will power, but I soon found that there was no vitality left in me. Very little exertion brought on a feeling of faintness, and at last I had to give " Perhaps you were not eating well ?' "You have guessed it. I could eat buu jury little, but that little was quite enough to cause a magnitude of violent pains in my atomach directly the food reached its destination. Thereat 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 back and loins were also attacked with acute ataba of agony p which took away all prospects of Bleeping. All night I turned from one position to another in the vain hope of falling asleep. 0£ course, I was fit [or nothing in the mornings when it was time to get up. Instead' of sitting down to breakfast like I used to, I simply tasted a mouthful or so of whatever had been prepared, and then a feeling of sickness at thei stomach came on, and 1 was obliged to leave it. T was so weak and worn out that I faced my vocation with as much loathing »s though I were. going to gaol. An oppressive feeling in my chest made breathing a difficult task sometimes. Each time I drew my breath I felt as if a weight had been placed on my chest. As my complaint continued to hack away at my system bo long, my nerves began to suffer more than ever. I could not stand the noise of passing carts, and every time a person spoke to me suddenly I was greatly startled. . A aevere fit of trembling often camo on without any real reason, excepting that my nerves were out of control. My bowels were very inactive some days, whilst at other times they were quite reverse. I was awfully 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 I took, I believe, every physic under the sun. They were no good at all. However, I struck out in a different ~ .*.,__■!_*—— t about some curea onic, and after uta were true I thought I "vnuM give it a trial, several bottles of Clements 1 tni-i were brought to the house, and when • started on them my . people soon noticed a great difference in me. The pains in my back and stomach' were quickly stopped by Clements Tonic, and 1 threw off that ilr< way, languid feeling which had been the burden of my life. My headaches troubled me no more, and I knew by tin absence of painful symptoms that* the food which Clements Tonic mado me eat hungrily wasbeingdigesledwell. The sleep which had so long been denied me now came back. Ap soon as I put my head on the pillow I waa off into peaceful slumber,- and I could usually tell on waking up that I had not moved dining the nicht. My nervoui system felt the benefit of Clements Tonic ii verv quick time. I was made as steady *! a rock, and the listless, worn-out expressios oC Hiv face gave place to a bright, health] appearand. My picture pain'ing agaio became a pleasant source of recreation, and I went to work with renewed energy and vitality. I put on flesh very quickly,_ r natural result of the enormous appctifawhich X had acquired. I could not wish to he in better health than I am at the present moment,' and I can say with a cleat conscience that my health has been maintained up to the' same high state ol peifection ever since the day I was cured of my wretched complaint by ClemenU Tonic. I have every reason to speak in terms of the highest praise of that moat valuable of all medicine?." "Any reason other than what you havi just narrated ? " ' " Yes, and one which to mo is of greate* moment than my own case. Two years ago mv wifo was in a serious state of health. She was broken down frightfully after het confinement. Such a condition of extrem* debility and nervous prostration cannot bi credited unless witnessed. X became very anxious and alarmed at the way she slowly sank. The doctor said the cause of all thf trouble was poorness of blood.' At any rati my wife could- not sleep at night, besidt. suffering greatly from indigestion. Nothing in the way of food agreed with her. In the course of time there was a complete loss oj appetite, every little delicacy we could think of failing to induce her to eat. Besides these afflictions my wife's norvot „ystem waß in a shocking state of eollapsi Neuralgia was her greatest torment. It was really pitiful to see a woman in Buch a terrible state of health suffering such a great amount of agony." " Did the doctor's efforts meet with any success in your wife's case ? " "No; she did not get any better under his treatment/ Then, when my wife'* condition became too critical to continut with his medicines (which were proving injurious) any longer, oho tried to obtain relief through the medium of advertised remedies. Everything failed to cure. with, one grand exception." " What was that J " " Clements Tonic saved my wife. It wan the lact medicine she resorted to, instead oi] being the first, as it now is whenever w« recommend a remedy to a sipk friend Clements Tonic perfected my wife's hoalt in a few weeks. She has never been i since. For the guidance of other suffcrei you may publish these facts any way yo want to." STATUTORY r DECLARATION.
