caused me no end of anxiety anil worry* especially as it was my first sickness* and there seemed every probability that it would have a fatal termination. J&ven the blessing of sleep was a stranger to me, my aching limbs and bodily tortures keeping me in a constant state of wake-, fulness. $Both day and night I lay in a state of stupidity, being only halt conscious of what was going on around me. My lungs and chesb were so stuffed up with phlegm that I could scarcely catch, my breath sometimes, and I wab often afraid that I might fall off to sleep and suffocate whilst -in my slumbci.CMy nerves were just like a fiddle uustiung. They were the only portions of 1113 system which showed any signs of life a<> all. Try as much as I liked, I could not; keep them still, and if any unusual sound struck my ears my nerves vibrated and shook for hours after. * But ifa was not only from the severe cold and kidney complaint I suffered. My liver also -went wrong, there being a -frightfully bitter taste in my mouth, combined with a constipated condition -of---my bowels. My tongue was covered i with a yellowish moisture, the same - : 1 colour being noticeable in. the matter which I used to vomit so frequently. Death would have been a source of relief had it come, and I must confess to wishing to die on many _ occasions. I could not see any good in living witH my emaciated frame full of pain, espeoially as there was no apparent relief at hand. All these violent and^ nia<Tdening pains cam© through neglecting my comblajnt in time. I was like a) man walking on and on without taking a rest until at last I dropped. I thai* thought what a fool I was riot to have tried to check the advance of nay disease when I felt it coining on." ft "Itad you done so you would haver undoubtedly have saved yourself a deaf of suffering." V> "I atn sure of it. But it was not until I was nearly dead that I consulted a doctor. I shall qever forget, .one,, das? trying to move my chair, aud the consequent unpleasant results of the attempt. As I leaned forward, intending to drag the chair under me, my hands slipped, and I fell to the floor. My wife was out at the time, and I was so frightfully weak and powerless that I had to lie there till she returned and picked me up." " How did you get on when you started under medical treatment?" " Very badly. I did not make any progress at all. Ail the medicine I tools • were valueless, -jl was like a mail stretching his hand out in the dark in. the hope of reaching something for sup ; port, without any definite knowledge of what was required. Eventually I was told what I wanted to cure me. ' Clements Tonic will do it,' said a friend, and, sure enough, he was right. Aftetf everything failed, Clements Tonic drove my cold away and restored the use of! my limba," besides settling my nerves and bringing back my appetite. My lungs were cleared of phlegm, and every ache and pain gave way to Clementa Tonic. I was soon strong enough to* work, by which time my kidney jpd liver diseases were eradicated. Clement^ Tonic was my doctor, hospital, and medicine all combined, and pince I jras cured by that great remedy I have notf had a day's sick.neas. Publish in any; way these statements."
