" I threw them up again often as not : they wouldn't stop on my siomach, and i spent pounds and pound's on them, and al! for no result. When I now look back and think of the f/iisea-afoie State I was in then I truly wonder I survived. Why, do you know that I fell away from 1 1 stone ■to 8 stone odd. I was a mere shadow of my once strong and robust condition. My bones were almost coming through my skin. I was come to the Last State of IVSosery. The present was full of gloom and suffering, and the future held out to me little hope of recovery. At last I gave up all hope of ever getting better. I was as bad as a man could be and still live. In fact, I no longer cared what happened "to me. Hope was quite dead. Then my wife came to me with Clements Tonic. ' You must give this a trial,' she said. ' It's no use,' I said to her, 'there's no medicine in the world that can lift me up again, I've Sunk Too Low/.' She pressed me to try just one dose, and as it was easier to take a spoonful than to argue, I took some. My wife then insisted on me taking the doses regularly." " What effect did Clements Tonic have?" " Marvellous — it was like the touch of a magician's wand. You never caw a man get better so quickly as I did. The cramps in my stomach entirely ceased. My livei began to resume its proper functions. My digestion improved, and the food which formerly caused pain, wind, and distress now began to properly nourish My Worn Out Frame. A new hope sprang up. I began to besti: myself, for I felt I had found a remedy tc. which I could pin my faith. My nerves, became stronger, and I had no more nervous twitchings. I had deeper and longer sleep every night. Under the invigorating influence of Clements Tonic I Threw Off My Nervousness altogether. It was just like getting rid of a heap of cankering chains. Instead of being despondent I was now hopeful, if not cheerful. I came along astonishingly. I was always hungry. I never seemed able to get enough to eat, and, naturally enough, I began to put on flesh. .My nerves continually improved. I laughed at being nervous now. I soon regained my lost weight, and was able to go about my work again as well as ever. It was as though years had been put on my life. " " You think Clements Tonic did this for you?" "I Don't Think— l'm Sure. Plainly speaking, Clements Tonic dragged me back out of the very jaws of death." " About publishing this — you don't object? " "No, on the contrary, I wish it to be made public, and if you hadn't called upon me, it was my intention to make a special journey to Sydney to put my case in the papers. I wish to make the means of my miraculous recovery pnblioas a duty 1 Owe to Mankind, and may it bring hope and health to others as it did to me." As our reporter was turning away, Mr. Rose called after him : — "Now, don't you imagine I've exaggerated my sufferings" as some people think I do, for the fact is that I was Worse Than J've Described, and lack of words alone has prevented me from properly picturing to you the Horrors of My iHrtess.
