A TRSBUTE TO ACKNOWLEDGED MERIT.

Tho Caso of !VIR E. T WARNE.

my shoulders ami about the small of rm bad:. My eyes felt quite swollen in tin mornings and, besides, 1 laid a very biUe: Usle in the month. Dreams of a distressing, character HiUcd about any sleep that I got, ami when 1 woke up I did not feel as if i had been sleeping at all—so depressed and so weary Unit my limbs fairly ached. DizTmess often atl'ccled me when I was least expecting anything of the sort, and in fact I always had something to upset m* and make me tired of the miserable existence 1 was leading.” “ Did you give up taking medicine altogether V ” “ For a while I did, and then, when my future looked darker than ever, 1 was pu on to a medicine that eclipsed evcryihiug 1 had previously taken. I was to have gone to work on a parti ular job ono morning, bu when I woke up I fvlt too ill again to go. It was th n that L was advised to take some Clements 'Tunic by a gentleman who had suffered in a Mmilar way to myself, aml_ my wife went straight ami got some. Now, the moat marvellous thing about the whole alVa v was this, that before that bottle of Clements Tonic was finished I was so improved Unit I was able to get up and make a stare wilh my work again. 1 was almost paralysed with pains in the stomach when, it was brought home, but the ease I.got from a small quantity of Clements Tonic was one of the greatest wonders of the day. When £ found out that at last 1 laid got a medicine which was doing me good, 1 can give you my assurance that I rn de no mistake about it. I did nob take a few bottles and then knock it off. I kept on with < dements Tonic until 1 was quite fixed up again ; and from my heart I thank God that such a splendid remedy is at the disposal of the adlictcd. The o ly temporary case that I used to get oco sionally was through the administration of morphia, but Clements Tonic' seemed to get at the cause of ms agony, remove it, and thus give me relief of a more permanent character. My nerves used to be terribly out of .balance, but the groat remedy I was taking soon put me right in that respect; and for giving tone to tho system and good digestive powers 1 have no hesitation in saying that Clements' Tonic is the best medicine 1 have ever taken in my life Us influence in stopping tho vomiting fits was simply like magic, and the same remedy did mo yeou an service in curing me of tho e hea*-aches that had caused me so much anguish. My spirits sparkled up splendidly when I saw the glorious ■chances that C ernents Tome was responsible for, and who’s would nob after having been lifted from such a helpless condition as 1 was in ? It was something to bo jubilant over the wav I was eating and sla* ping, for life was so "pleasant- under’these altered circumstances, and for he complete recovery that I experienced through Clements Tonic solely, 1 wish to give these words of thanks.” “ May 1 publish them ?” “ You can publish ia any way all I’ve said.” STATUTORY DECLARATION’. I Edward Thomas Wahkb, of 42 r ‘ambrifl"eTevrace, Wellington, in Oi a Colony of New Zealand, do solemnly and siiv creiy declare that 1 have carefully read the an naxed document, ccns’sihiif of three folios, and consecutively numbered from one to three, and that it ccn*o : ns and is a true and faithful account of mj i’lna%4 and cure hv Clements Tonic : and also con ta*n» my full permission io publish in any way m s'ataiventi—which I give voluntarily, whhou re-eiviuc anv paymsnt; and I make this solenn de-'*r*iicn conscientiously believing the same to b* tru'* and '•y virtue f the provisions of an Act of *h« Oei'eral Assembly cf Mew Zealand, intituled "Thr Justices of Peace Act, ISSS." DecUml at Wellington, this eleventh day ot May, one thousand nine hundred and three, before me, IfV. PLOCKTO'J J.P.

In a statement to a press rcpic.-ioutative Mr, Edward Thomas Warm* gives somo information that should prove serviceable to tho residents of Wellington, where Mr. Warnc lives ub No. -i-i Cambridge Terrace. Tho ffr*t enquiry made was in regard to that gentleman’s occupation, the answer being: *• A Kiiiiter/’ and then Mr. WaiuC proceeded in give an interesting account of events which are closely connected wilh that trade. ‘That is my occupation/’ he pursued. 44 and it is not a very healthy one cither. You have probably heard about painters’ euliu?” “ Vo*,” assented iho reporter, 44 1 have heard that such a complaint exists,” “ Unfortunately for us it does, and in regard lo it my luck has been dreadfully bini. About twelve months ago 1 was very ill indeed with that ailment, ami 1 1 ad hern mtiming for months before I was compelled ta give in, but now it became quite a common thing tor me to have to lie up three or four days at a lime, ami the agony that piostraU-d mu wivi positively uni. arable, h lull like a gnawing pain, or as if a bladder was gradually being inhaled in rise stomach, and as it expanded the pain increased. It would lake a man witii a more extensive vocabulary at his disposal than j. possess to give a fair idea of what, the pains really were like, but it ma\ be enough for me to •ay that many n time 1 have been bent almost doable owing to tho excessive tortures that t endured. Anything n the world would have been preferable to such misery, but I had no option but to put up with it and nuke tho beat of matters as they were.” “ U liy ? Had you exhausted all means at your disposal in"i Jits way of getting relief *' ” “Yes; pretty well every conceivable means of gaining benefit hud been .resorted to, but there was nothing in any of them. The doctors knew it wa# painters’colic that I was sutl’eiing from, yet they evidently did not know what to give me to alleviate my distress, as everything they prescribed rc-ulted in ignominious failure in that respect. When the treatment of one medical man ended that way I lost no time In placing my case before another ono, and when I had gone to the expense of consulting several experts and still I was no better, I thought it was high time for me to keep my money in my pocket. But th t did not answer; my health went further astray *han ever until 1 was in a worse condition than I had ever beu<‘ before during the u hole oi my life. I then began experimenting with medicines I saw plucai els about on hoardings, Mid also advertised in newspapers, hut it would have been equally effective had I thrown my money into the rubbish box outside. They were perfectly useless, and it seemed that nothing would cure me. Through tiie failure of my appetite X could take scarcely any food, and the trouble was to keep down the little X did have, for I threw ifc up repeatedly. Indeed, I often vomited at any time of the day, and you may reckon how frightfully weak I got. Many % day I fo!b simply helpless, and with the violent pains I had in the head my life was almost » curse to me. Sometimes the attacks of vomiting were of shorter duration than on other occasions, but I can tell you that two days of that trouble used to pull mo down terribly in weight. I had beep jn \Vellington seven years before 1 was 3.=pd up twelve months ago, having come over from Sheffield, near - Christchurch, and I had saver met a fellow tradesman who had tho complaint so badly as I had then, I onvild nob shep ab nights ami ft seemed that tho whole of my internal organs wero out of repair, my chest being so much oppressed by a sense of weight after taking any food that I was very short-winded, md at odd times I had nasty pains between
