NEURAUGIA Badly Beaten by Clements Tonic The Oase of Mr- James Brown, Junr(by our special beportkr). Mr James Brown, of 40 Wells st, Newtown, Sydney, having written us in refeience to his recovery from violent and persistent neuralgia, we detailed a reportei to call on that gentleman to obtain an endorsement of the statements in the letter. Mr. Brown, on seeing our reporter, kindly volunteered the fullest information. " How long were you ill 5" was the first question asked ? "I was severely ill for more than four months," returned Mr. Brown, though from a youth I have always been troubled more or less with neuralgia. But this attack was more torturing than usual. I was engaged up country at the time, and I got my feel wet. Almost immediately after this, acutepains set in in my head and face. I tool; remedies for this complaint, but without effect.- The excruciating pain seemed t/> continually increase. I could get no rest in bed, and night after night I tramped around the room in agony. I was excessively weak and worn out in the day time. I lost my appetite, and could only manage to eat a mouthful now and again when there was a temporary lull in the pain. My face became drawn aside and pinched, and I losl llesh rapidly. I was far too ill to work "at my trade ot a bookbinder, although that h not an arduous employment; and in the end I was forced to throw up my engagement: and I came to Sydney in the hope that the change of air would prove beneficial." "Was the dill'erence of climate oi advantage to you ?" "Not the slightest. I was no better ii^ Sydney —in fact, I grew worse. So I trier several homoeopathic remedies I had rean i about, but these I found were no bottoi than the other medicines I had been taking up country. I believe I might as-well have taken so many bread pills as these various pills. The neuralgia began to centre itsell in one of my ears. The consequence was that my hearing became defective. I was quite run down "and exhausted by my complaint. I was very weak and my general health was undermined. I began to believe that the affection' had become chronic, ami that I should never get rid of it." "You ultimately did get rid of it, Mr. Brown, if my information is correct 1" " Yes, one day I was told by v friend of mine that Clements Tonic had cured numerous bad cases of' neuralgia. I had read lots about that remedy in the newspapers, and I thought no harm could come of giving it a trial., I bought a large bottle. I found it good, so I reckon I made a very luoky purchase. The very first dose distinctly lessened the violence of the pains in my ear, head, and face. After each dose the pains became less acute, and I was able once again to get some satisfactory sleep. My hearing came back entirely, and after I had taken two bottles altogether my neuralgia was entirely gone. I still took Clements Tonic, to invigorate my weakened system. 'The remedy did,this most thoroughly, and it was not long before I was as stout and strong as ever, and at my work aguin, and what gives me the greatest satisfaction of all is that Clements Tonic has completely rendered me free from neuralgia. 1 used to be very subject to it, but it is now a long time since I was cured, and I have not had a symptom of it since, nor do I expect ever to be troubled with it again, .and I hope not, for death is preferable to. torture." " You have no objection, I suppose, to the proprietors of Clements Tonic publishing this testimonial ?" '' None whatever." - STATUTORY DECLARATION.
