FRANK F RRWT Fen Comes 16,000 Miles After Health. Searches In Vain till he finds

tOT OTJB SPECIAL BEPORTER.) thir reiJorMr knocked at No. 21 ffarmer«tfeet, Sydney. A gentleman opened the d«pr. r '"" po I apeak to Mr. Bryce ?" asked our reporter. " You do," answerad that gentleman. II j*' Well, I lmv£ heard that you experienced A Great Recovery rf your health by the utcToT Clements Tonic," " I did, and you are welcome to the fullest information I can give you. I conlidef Jke way Clements Tonic effected a cure tn my Lenff-staindinjg Case M something little less than miraculous. I was ill for a very long time. As a matter ,»f fact, T came out from Scotland, of which country I am a native, with a view to Improve my Health, $ut I am sorry to Bay that the sea voyage and change had but a temporary effect. Of toursq, aB you may see, I am in Exoeltent Health new, and can attend regularly to my duties with 'the Company by whom lam engaged. But •nee I was always falling sick and being .laid up. I suffered from an extraordinary i*-^ Nervous Complaint, rtrtiich utterly defied the efforts of the (doctors. Sometimes 1 was completely prostrated. Work of any kind was an absolute (tmpoaaibility. I couldn't even read a newsj paper. My -head ached violently. My )heart beat very rapidly, and- 1 had a sonsaItisn as though I was choking, *sd I uaed to Hit up and r~ Gasp for my Breath. 'fhere was nothing in my throat, though ; It Vwas a spasmodic action of the muscles of my Ithrdat, caused by the disordered state of my iaeWes. At least, that's what the doctors tin Scotland laid. My limbs on these occa- ! lions trembled as though I was suffering Ifrom ague. Sometimes I suffered from a feeling of • \ Anxiety arid Despondency. T got no better as time went on, but v/orse. Finally, I waß carefully examined and overhauled by a physician, and he came to the Sconclußion that I was afflicted with some 'tort of liver disease, and it was the improper working of this organ that brought on these 'distressing symptoms. He recommended a 'careful system of dieting, outdoor exercise, tad a change of air ; and he prescribed some yery powerful medicines for me. I carried out his instructions to the very letter, but his medicine* had no permanent restorative effect. I still continued to suffer from the terrible ' ;FHs of Nervous Prostration. "Another doctor that I saw said I was suffering from a peculiar form of heart trouble. I began to have no faith in doctors, as I only »eemed to get worse under their treatment. The confinement consequent upon my complaint began to undermine my constitution. I can safely say that I never had lone hour's consecutive sleep, and when J "ffiroke I did so : ; With a Shock, rand all in a cold sweat, just as though I had .nightmare. My digestion grew very' bad. 'My food came back after very nearly every lineal. I never took any pleasure in eating. In fact it was only a trouble to me. I lost much weight and grew very Weak and Debilitated. I had a stooping figure and a parchment-like ■kin ; and although that is long enough ago I looked then ten years older than I do now. Not one, but dozens of different sorts of medicines did I try. These All Professed to Cure nervous complaints. They were worse than useless. I never had one minute's relief from any one of these so-called remedies. .-At last I was laid up in bed. The doctors said they could do Nothing for R&e. In short they gave me up, and suggested that the only thing that could do me any good was a long sea voyage — that is if I was physically »tronp.«uough to bear it. I made
