BODY-SNATCHING. TORN FROM THE GRAVE. AN Extraordinary Case has lately come under our notice. It appears that Mr H. A. Crane, who travels over this and the adjacent colonies in the interests of one of the largest importing firms in this city, and therefore is a well-known man all over the colonies, has lately been in indifferent health. He had suffered from a severe shaking at the Windsor Railway Smash, and had been under the treatment of the best physicians in Melbourne and Sydney. The most troublesome symptom was Neuralgia, which was excruciatingly painful; he had been a sufferer from this complaint on and off for years, but since the accident he had suffered ten times worse than ever. He consulted physician after physician without benefit; they told him amongst them he had every complaint from atrophy of the liver to heart disease. His case was so remarkable that we give his own version of it in his own words, considering that he had a miraculous escape from acute suffering, if not an untimely grave. He says : For the last seven years I have been a victim to the most excruciating agony from neuralgia, and also suffered from extreme nervousness. I tried hundreds of so-called specifics, but without avail, and, being a commercial traveller, am peculiarly liable to colds from exposure to draughts, etc. ; a slight one even always fled to my facial nerves, and caused acute neuralgic pains, preventing sleep, and causing excessive sympathetic headache. I saw CLEMENTS' TONIC advertised, procured a bottle, and in two days the pain was completely cured, a consummation I had never expected, and am deeply thankful for same. This was four months ago, and from then till now I have never had the slightest twinge of the excruciating torture I used to have. You may make what use of this you like. Yours gratefully, HENRY A. CRANE. We also received similar letters from T. Garrett, Esq., M.P., who says : —"He has found Clements' Tonic a great aid to appetite and digestion," and from Mrs Wlialley, who was quite worn out, tired, weak, and unable to move. She took seven bottles of Clements' Tonic, and now can eat, work, and sleep, and is stronger than ever before. We could go on like this witli evidence that proves the value of Clements' Tonic in acute diseases right down the column, and then for yards over the edge of the paper, so inexhaustable is our supply of influential and positive endorsement. We will send full particulars of the diseases Clements' Tonic is suitable for 011 receipt of your name and address. F. M. CLEMENTS, NEWTON, SYDNEY.
