Words <*»• Wise. A Lesson for Those who Can Profit by it. Tho Case of Mr. J. E. FAHEY. (BY A DPNSDIN REPORTER.) When at certain seasons we sse review* «f the year — mere dull catalogues of what ar» callod public events dead and gone even for such, life as there ever was in them- -yts contrast such little budgets with that real review of the year which is unknowable, save that every individual may review hi« own infinitesimal p&rt of it, and if he eoasiders it expedient to make known his affairs to the world a reporter's gerrices are called into requisition, as waa done in connection with Mr. John Edward Fahey, of No. 38 Grange-street, Dunedin, who said :—: — "About eighteen months ago my health was in a shockingly bad state, and had been for a good while before that. I was suffering from an obstinate derangement of the internal organs, »nd matters had arrived at such. an unwelcome stage that I could not get my food to digest. The misery I experienced through that trouble was greater than I can find words to describe. The work I was doing was not by any means light, ' and by the time I got home at night I was fairly done, the feelings of exhaustion being so intense that I could have almost dropped with fatigue." "I expect you would be able to sleep very soundly when in that condition ? " suggested the scribe. " Well, that was one thing I really could do, for exhausted nature could not hold oufc against any desire I might have h*d t» keep awake. Yes, I could sleep ri|hl» •nough, but th« difficulty about sletfpwsj was it did not refresh nw in any w»y r for when I awoke in the morning* I felt dead tired, and for the first part of the day I could feel sensations like aohes running through my limbs. One of the worst f eatuw* of my sickness was the despoadeney whicii seized me. I looked upon life as an insupportable burden, as if there was nothing Ira* desolation all round. <There was not «n« pleasant thought in my mind to build myself up with,* and after meals I felt jartioularly drewsy 1 and uncomfortable." " What forma of discomfort did you have, Mr: Fahey ! " "I had a terribly heavy feeling in mj ohesfc, and pains used to attack me rights between the shoulders. Often I had giddy turns which made me quite useless for awhile, and my sight seemed togetbesmearett in some way or other. Black specks appeared at times before my eyes, whioh felfr heavy and somewhat enlarged in the mornings, and I had an awfully bitter tas'.o besides, and a coating over my tongue). When I walked or stooped I found that th« aches across my loins got more seveie than what they usually -were, and the leasb exertion or excitement caused my nerves to shake teu-ibly, for my nervous system wa« very much weakened. My appetite w»p getting poorer and poorer every day, bu<> whether I ate much or "little it made no difference to the sense of fulness in th# itomach which followed my meals, and it ivas quite evident that every particla of food fermtnted. Some days I could hardly hold mv head up for the excruciating aches that afflicted me, and I was just about as -weak and miserable as a man could be when I hit upon a medicine that changed my life entirely." " What medicine was that ? " "It was Clements Tonic, and a grand medicine it was, too. It was all a matter of luck, and came about in this way. One evening I was reading a. Cloments (Tonic testimonial to my wife, .and when I gob to the end of it I said : ' What do you say i£ I give it a trial ? ' An affirmative answer was given, so I bought some Clements Tenic, and by he time I had finished with thai) remedy I was twice the man I had been. My health was made se perfect by Clemstria Tonic that 1 think no house should be without it. It began by soothing my narvet, and after several days' treatment the weary sensations were not present when I got up in the mornings, neither was the vile tasif, nor ihe coating on my tongue. Really, I was spellbound with amazement to find thab my appetite had come back already, and by-and-bye the flatulence was done with ; so were the depressing headaches, giddiness, and the paina about my chest and shoulders* It seemed like a happy dream, but it wasbetter than that. It was a positive fact that Clements Tonic had cured me, and now you can publish these words of truth in any form you please."
