IiVIPURE BLOOD AND LIVER TROUBLE Another Case in DuneJiric The Case of Mr. T. KING. (By a Diuiedin Reporter.) At a well-appointed shop in Mainroad, South Duaedin, a special, representative interviewed Mr. Thomas King, who carries on a boot-making business at the piaoe mentioned. Mr. King made the following remarks : — ; . " Some years ago my blood was in afrightfully bad state. About forty or fifty boils came out on my arms and hands, and you can still see the marks of some- that broke out on my wriate. Of conrse I did- not have them all at •• once, but they came one after another with such persistency that I commenced - to think I was never going to get rid of them.'-*' The burning, aching agony of those boils made me very bad-tempered. Some days I could not -work for the pain I wa3 in, and even when I was taking a spell I always felt discontented and irritable. At the same time I suffered greatly with my liver, a general depression of spirits coming ovor me, and I looked on the black side of everything. The food I ate neither sustained nor nourished me. It merely lay in my, . stomach in an undigested state, and the wind that cams from the process of fermentation which was going on inside caused me a lot of cramping pains and " obstinate fits of belching. " A dirty yellow colour appeared in my skin, together with a drowsy look in my eyes, which were very weak, with flitting specks before them. Another accompaniment of my disordered condition was a strangling sensation in my throat', a trouble which immediately followed - the conclusion of my meals. I eaji ac- ' count for this by haying a weighty feeling in my chest, as if I had swallowed a piece of bread which had turned toscone. .Another hurtful symptom was a miserable aching pain across my brow ;t and, besides, I had sharp, stabbing tor*; tures situated midway between my shoulders, with similarly aggravating pains in my side. The unpalatable taste in my mouth was enough to make me sick, indeed, I often thought I would retch my heart up. My tongue, too, was none too clean. I believe that long-continued inaction of my bowels had a great deal to do with both my blood and my liver being out of order." " Could you not rectify such * small matter as that ?" • . " I could get nothing to restore regularity in that respect. Several kinds of pills and medicines were tried, but they only had very violent and painful effects for a time, aid left me in a worse fix than ever. I was greatly enervated and distressed by the loss of sleep. After being awake nearly all night I fait too fatigned and weak to raise my hammer, and, when I did work I can. assure you it was greatly against my will, as I had neither energy nor inolination for it. My nervous system wa» so upset that I could scarcely drive » nail straight, and I trembled all over 1 very often without any reason. My prospects of getting well looked very blue, for nay appetite died out alto~ get her, and the flesh rapidly fell away. I am sure I was a pitiable object to my customers aa they came in and out of my shop, and as the boils continued toappear the most of my friends thought they were incurable. As all the medicines I had drank had no beneficial effect I lost heart and let things. go anyhow. I thought it better to submit to the inevitable than worry myself to death." '' Did you discontinue the rase of mcdi« cine, Mr. King?" " Yes, when I found they were useless. I had thrown, too much money away already. Then I was persuaded to try something else- A friend said : ' Clements Tonic is the best medicine going. You ought to try it.' Sure enough I bought a couple of bottles, and I commenced to feel livelier. The nervous twitchings and indigestion trouble ceased, and I was able to eafc and sleep well. My blood was purified by Clements Tonic, the boils disappeared, and my internal organs acted regularly. Strength gradually returned, and after a course of Clements Tonic I was perfectly sound." " I hope I may report your remarks?" 1 You may publish them in any way you like." STATUTORY DECLARATION.
