More Local cures. NOT OVER-SEA EVIDENCE. The Case of Mr. T. BLAINE. (BY AN AUCKLAND REPORTER.) A courteous reception was accorded our reporter on the occasion of his visit to Mr. Thomas Blaine, who lives at Chape* Square, Auckland, where the following interview took place: — Reporter; “lb has been mentioned to me that some years ago you were ill, and that for a long while you experienced considerable difficulty in effecting a recovery. May I hear the story 2” Air. Blaine: “Certainly. You will not be the first I have told it to, neither will you be the last, for I was so grateful to get well again that I shall never lire of telling people how it was done. It is some time since my health broke down through catching a cold one winter, and I also had a feeding upon me as if I had strained myself in some way, for when I bent down 1 felt as if I hadn’t the strength to raise myself up again, and the pains across my back made me wish that 1 could give up work altogether and lie down until 1 was better again. But, of course, it is not always convenient to take to one’s bed like that, and, unfortunately, I had to keep going somehow. At first I thought it was rheumatism that had got hold of me, but later on I. had symptoms which inclined me to the m iu-t that my liver and kidneys were out of order.” Reporter : “ What were the symptoms like?” , Air. Blaine : “Oh ! I was out of sorts altogether, for I had such a bad appetite that I could only eat very sparingly as a rule; but now and then I was able to take food rather freely 7 , which was more of a misfortune than anything else, because I had to suffer so greatly afterwards. I was troubled with a sort of swelling in the stomach directly my meals were over, and then a peculiar feeling would mount up to my chest and give me the impression that whar, I had swallowed had lodged there and could not go any further. The: copgh I was alllicted with kept me awake at nights for hours ; but Ido not think it would have mattered much whether 1 slept or not, as I felt horribly tired in the mornings and quite unfit •or work. A white, slimy substance was over my tongue, and the taste in my mouth was like gall; while sometimes I had dark •■pecks belore my eyes which almost shot jut the daylight. 1 give you my wprd it was the worst experience 1 ever had, and life itself became so dreary and uninteresting that 1 hud no care for it at ail. If I tried to read the paper a mist gathered helm e my eyes, and the, print got so jumbled up together that 1 could not see one word Irom another, and rny headaches were so acute that J. was continually distressed with pain.” Reporter; “ Now tell me how these conditions were altered 1" Mr. Blaine: “Ah ! That’s what all my friends wore anxious to know. Well, it was Clemfuits Tonic that wiped out my afflictions, and in such a complete manner, too, that, my health could not have been better ever since if I had been born over again. It was really a marvel how that medicine put new life into me, and 1 believe 1 would be ailing to this day only for a friend telling my wife about Clements Tonic, which toned up my nervous system splendidly. Before taking that remedy I could not bond my head without having such a staggering feeling come over me that I would have to reach for support in order to keep on my feet; but Clements Tonic proved a fine cure for giddiness, and it made mo sleep well, besides overcoming the pains in my back and shoulders, for wnen they were dispensed with, and my cough was settled, I felt so restful that 1 could sleep nil night long. And, thank the Lord! what a ihifference there was in my feelings of a me ruing! My head was clear from acl ies, the sickly flavour had left rny mouth, and I could sit down* and eat a breakfast that would have surprised you.” Reporter: “And what about digesting it?”

Mr, Blaine: “Clements Tonic saw to tliat, and I tell you honestly that I have not had the slightest attack of indigestion since I was fixed up by that remedy; and as I deem it my duty to bring Clements Tonic a virtues before all sufferers, you can publish these words of truth in any way you think best.” STATUTORY DECLARATION.
