but although they gave me every attention their medicines did me no good. As I said before, I thought my career as a soldier was over. It was only when I was laid, up i» bed that I decided to try Clements Tonic. I had taken it before, and Derived Great Benefit, so I thought I would try it again. " And you founU it a reliable remedy ? " " Yes, I was quite astonished at the benefit I received from it after even a few doses In five or six days I had quite got rid of the fits of vomiting and flatulence. My appetite picked up, and I felt more Cheerful and Hopeful than I had done for months past. Mj headaches grew loss and Le3s every day, and I slept from 10 o'clock in tho evening till eight in the morning -without waking, consequently I felt correspondingly refreshed in the mornings. Every day I noticed a marked improvement. Clements Tonic had excelleut effects upon my digestive organs, aud if I missed but a dose or two I noticed the difference at ouce. . Probably my liver was the cause of all the Various Bad Symptoms I've spoken of, but, under the influence oi Clements Tonic, t'.ie pains between the shoulders slowly w. Nt away as my liver commenced to. work properly again. I began to feel quite a different man, after all the long Weariness, heaviness, and L.£*.33itude that were always upon me whilst my livei was not doing its duty. I felt now ai though I was walking on air, the Change was so Great. I - "And how long did it take you to gel completely well?" "Somewhere about six weeks, I suppose — that is, my liver and dilation were in Proper Order again. However, I still stuck to Clements Tonic for a time, and it soon made me fit and strong and able to undertake any amount of work. I always reckon to keep a bottle by me for emergencies, and if I was going on a. campaign I tell you I would sooner take a few bottles of Clements Tonic than a whole medicine chest of drugs." " Do you ever have any trouble with youi liver now, Mr. Barrett t" "No, I never had a touch of the com plaint siuce, though sometimes I've felt a little out of sorts like, I suppose, everyom does at timea. I always found, however, two or three doses of Clements Tonic set me right almost at once, and Braced Me Together again, and made me a strong, healthy man. as vigorous as I was when I first joined tin army. I can do -a Hard Day's Work with any man. My health is firat-ckss thanks to Clements Tonic, and I think ! have a new lease of life." "Have you any objection to my makin. public an account of your cure, and tl> statements you have made in ro=pejfc t Cleineuts Tonic ?" "None at all."
