.1 looked at the clock on awaking I could scarcely believe I had only been sleeping about an hour. Right up between my shoulders I felt similar agonios to •those situated in my back. Another thing I must not forget to tell you: By some means, my heart became affected, Spasms of wind used to shoot up in that direction and causo my heart to go. thumping against my ribs till I rcaliy thought I was '(joins to pass out of existence. My face lost all the freshness it had attained through living in the bush so many years. Black lines formed under my eyes, and my skin was of a yellowish colour. I could not bear to look at anything two minutes together, as it only had tho effocfc of dazzling my eyes. A drumming sensation in,my ears greatly affected my hearing, which many people will remember through getting annoyed at having to reptfat things several timos before they could make me comprehend " Did you receive any medical attention?" v " Any amount of it, yet for all the benefit I derived from doctors' treatment I might have done without their services. I was in such a wretched state of collapse that at last I was taken to tho hospital. The doctors did not seem to know- what was the matter with met, for although they prescribed one medicine after another my health did not improve. After staying in the hospital three months'l was discharged, the doctors- saying they could do uothing for mo beyond what they had already done;, and that amounted to nothing. I had barely sufficient strength to walk'from the institution, and on my way homo I nearly fainted several timos. This was the only exertion I had had for three months, and I soon discovered that my nervous system was ■ broken down. After so many failures I thought it was only a matter of a little time when my internal diseases would terminate my sorrowful existence. The sooner death came the better. I thought." " Do you hold th'at opinion now ?" f ■" No fear. I want to live as long aa I can, because I feel that my physical ailments are' permanently ctired. After the doctors gave ine up I was practically brought from death to life by Clements Tonic. I happened to make the acquaintance of several people who had suffered like myself, and they told me Cloments Tonic had cured them. 'It will do the same for you,' was their encouraging remark, and, upon my word tliey spoke the. truth. I started taking Clements Tonic with a feeling almost amounting to prejudice, but before many days were over my doubts were scattered, fer my pains were slowly diminishing, and I secured a fair amount of sleep nightly. When the strengthening qualities of Clements Tonic began to tell or my shattered constitution I was soon able to stand up straight, and my knees were never again rendered useless by sudden attacks of paralising agony. No; Clements Tonic wiped them all out. I ate heartily, without amy painful consequences. My head was clear, and I felt as fresh and vigorous a 8 though I had never been ill. Clements Tonic made a. sound man of me. I hope others may see these facts, which you can publish m any way.''
