ProYidenca ProVides PANACEA for every PAIN The Case of Mr. N, EDWARDS* (by a reporter). There is a delight iv acting 0..»> im-t o! Providence or of goad Santa Claus. It gives full play to the best form of the love ol power that; is so ef ten found in man, power to befriend, power to raise, power to console ; and when such instances as tha fallowing are brought to light, through the kindness of Mr. Nicholas Edwards, of Foxstreet, South Dunedin, it shows that there , are unseltish members of the community who help mankind whenever they can. Taking his memory back to three years ago, Mr. Edwards said : — "It is about that time since I used a medicine called Clements Tonic foe the purpose of putting my blood into oHer for ' one thing, and for restoring mv * mj for another." " What indications were there that youi blood required purifying ? " asked oux interviewer. " Well, a number of sores broke out over my arms, and no measures that I adopted could take them away, with the so\v->ry) exception of Clements Tonic. No medicine had the same effect on my bloou a.& that did, and nothing that I had ever taken t before was half so beneficial to my digestion as Clements Tonic. For about eight nionths I had been ailing from extreme languor, feeling as if it was too much trouble to do even the lightest of work, and not caring .to go out anywhere to enjoynvyself. ,A-<tuiK sense of depVesion'seemed^to have got Hie/ fairly under, and when I had been suffering from indigestion a little time I was scarcely ever free from headaches, and'l'found'tKat' my rest was greatly interfered \\vith. I could go to bed feeling dreadfully' tired out* > but for all that it was more than I could >do « to get to slepp when I wanted, aud through having ouly a few hours' slumber each night* my vitality became quite exhausted. Every * morning I got up feeling weary and dejected, and with an awfully , bitter taste in my mouth. My sight was not-as l good >s i^ ought to have been either, for _sqmß« times there appeared to be~* quite a mist before me, and my eyes felfc as if they had swelled during the night. Ifc was a very wretched experience^ I had, take my word, for when my appetite died away it was surprising how quickly my strength went, and then I was moro disf« inclined for work than ever. Worse than all, I was subjected to no small amount oi '* pain, which I am positive was caused through my food not digesting, as ib was always soon after eating that they began. My stomach used to get full of wind and make me feel a bnrden to myself ; and my chest got such a heavy sensation in it that it gave me trouble to get my breath sometimes. Under my shoulder blades, too, tha pains were very severe, and I had such nasty aches in my loins that I never thought; of taking a wa,.k if it could be pos§iblj avoided, %i "To be like that w»b almost as bad as being laid up." " Pretty well, and if it had not been for Clements Tonic I might have been, because a man cannot keep to his work very long in such a wretched s.tate of health as I was in. However, I am glad to say that my days of sickness from' those complaints were sooa over, under the wonderfully effective qualities of Clements Tonic, and it will be a source of pleasure to me to help those suffering in the hy letting them know -what •an do. It cleansed and enricned my biood to begin with, and I got . a remarkably geod appetite almost at once. Using Clemeuls Tonic seemed to awaken » new interest in life within me, for tha despondent feelings left, and when renewed energy came I could work with a cheerful ?>irit. There is no doubt about Clements oaic feeing the best thing going for the digestive organs, as it fixed mine up in no time, and when the pains and aches had all goae I left eff taking that splendid remedy, because I had no further need for it." "If you doa't mind I'll report your cure?" . "I have no objection. I have lived ta Duuedin for twenty-seven years, eighteen of which have been spent in this house, so you may guess I am well-known, and I would net speak as I have in regard tc Clements Tonic unless I could honestly recommend it. You can publish these facts in any way you cheose." STATUTORY DECLARATION.
