WHAT PEOPLE SAY.

MRS MORTON SMITH. MARYBOROUGH, QUEENSLAND

Writ6S :— '* Having for mauy years lived a life of misery, and never during tbafc time to have known a'laomenfc's freedom from pain, I am so grateful for tbe benefit I have derived from Clements Tonic tbafc I write the following particulars of my case : ' About four years ago-I wan attacked with facial neuralgia so acutethafc I was unable to sleep for 17 days. I lost flesh very rapidly and was reduced to a shadow,, and my family thought- the end was new, bo ; weak, pale, and miserable had I become. I could see their anxious looks and hear them sobbing when away from me, but before my face thsy were all courage ana smiles, so thoughtful were they of my feelings. I bad three doctors, [ bufc they did me no good—the misery still continued. At last a friend recommended Clements Touic so strongly that I procured a bottle; and ' after the third dosa'the pain was relieved. I continued its use aud took a good many bottles, aud gradually recovered my wasted strength, ; and am now as well as ever I was in my life. I am sure Clements Tonic is the sole cause of my being alive, for even the doctors told my family that ifc wonld bo batter to settle my earthly matters, ns the end was near; but thanks to Clements Tom'c they were wrong again. " Mits Morton. Smith."

We thank Mrs Smith for allowing us to publish her testimony. Fancy the misery and torture of sleeplessness for a period of seventeen days, wakefulness being enforced by tha agony of neuralgia, and all the time an infallible remedy within reach. We trust her letter will bring the same relief to .other sufferers. *

' 'TEfEY'WOITOERED TO'SEE HIM. *' I could-not moviagard mthtmPMps^Xdim nowwalkfor-miles." Thereiscertainlyavery sharp eontesbbetween I these two.statements. When we sees person 1 who, because of illness, is. unable to move-a I yard without help, wedonoteipecttameet-him j'on the-rpad and on foot miles from heme soon thfii"CEtler,'"if, indeed, wis meet him at all. At least we should regard these eztremes, con-sidared-as within the experience ofrthe sameman, and enclosed within a _ comparatively brief period of time, as something to wonder at and ask questions about. And people did wonder at and inquire about it. Many said the circumstances recalled the age of miracles, supposed to have passed for ever away. The facts (briefly set forth in a letter from the man himi self) ara as follows. We may add that Mr ! .Henry Jackson is a farmer, well knowasnd rej speefced in his district,* and his case is familiar j to neighbours and friends of his throughout the § vicinity." " ■•■■-':'. j "In the early part of 1892," says Mr JackI son, ■*■' I began to feel weak and ailing. 1 was I low in spirits, and my bodily strength seemed !to be leaving me. There was a bad and I nauseous taste in my mouth; my appetite, which had ulways been good, failed until I had no real desire for food whatever, and after eating I had much pain at the chest and _ fulness' around the sides. My stomach always rfel* burning hot, and I had a gnawing pain at ths pit of it. " I remained in this general condition until August of the same year, when I was taken worse. My legs began to swell, and rheumatism set in all over me, more particularly iu the hip9 and back. No local treatment had any effect upon it. Ifc grew worse ahd worse, until I was no longer able to rise from my-chair without assistance. In truth, I had no power over myself, and could not mone a yard without help. " I Buffered so with mere pain that I could not lie in bed, and for over 12 months Inever had my clothes off. X , "During this time I was attended day and night, bsiag-literally unable to do anything of importance for myself. All the sleep I got was taken in naps and snatches while I was bolstered up in my usual place in an easy chair. Under the terrible strain of the pain and loss of proper' rest* my nerves broke down bo that apy uncommon event, in the housa or noise was more than I could bear. My heart was very bad, and thumped until I could scarcely stay in the chair and endure ifc. " The doctor who bad charge of my case said my condition was critical. He said that my lungs and liver were badly affected, and that I.' bad Bright's disesss of the kidneys. Still hit medicines did me no good, and after'attending me 10 months he said he could do no more for, me. * . ■.' ' " " I then got a doctor from Bolton to, see, me, and he held out but slender hopes of my ever getting any better. I thought the game., and so; did aU who saw me. . .*•' "In October 1895 my daughter, Mrs Dickinson, of Bolton, told me how she had been benefited byfcaking Mother Seigel's Curative-Syrup,, and thought it might possibly help me. I had i small faith, but there. could be no harm in trying. So we sent afc once to Mr Pare, the chemist, in Fold road, Bolton, for enough to decide whether it.would do me good or "not. After taking it a short time I was better. 71 could sleep better, and had some appetite for food, and what I ato agreed with me. This, was hopeful and cheesing indeed. .■-.-'■' "I kept ou with the Syrnp, and it acted wonderfully with me. The worst' symptoms abated, and I gained strength. Soon all' the water in my legs passed off, and the rheumatism troubled me but little. Still using tbe Syrup, I my condition continued to improve in every j respect, uutil I once more stood on my feat, and [ felt like'aman-of this'worid. I cannon walk for I miles, and have no pain. All my friends think las I do—that under the circumstances my j recovery was nothing short of marvellous.".Yoa: j are at liberty to publish this -statement and refer,-, I any interested persons tome. (Signed) -Henry 1 Jackson", Pewett 33111 Para, Culcheth^-.neai! | Warrington, October--, 1895." 7 ! No words of ours can-add-io the convincing I'force of Mr Jackson's plain statement. His , ! disease was originally and radically of the 5 digestion. The attack-was sharp and profound, and developed into the resulting conditions her so wdl describes..-He may nofcbave.had3right"s disease, but that he was-direetly progressing-to-wards that'l'atal malady there-is nodoubfc.
