Providence Provides

- PANACEA for every PAIS The Oa.se of Mr. N, EDWARDS. (by a reporter). There V a delight in acting the part ol Frovidenok or of good Santa Clan*. It,givea full play to the best form of the love ol power that is so often found in man, power to befriend, power to raise, power to console ; and when sucli instances as the following are brought to light, through the kindness of Mr. Nicholas Jidwards, of Foxstreet, South Dnnedin, ib shows that there aie unselfish members of the community who help mankind whenever they can. Taking his memory back to three years agOj Mr. Edwards said : —*

" It is about that time since I U3ed a medicine called Clements Tonic for the purpose of putting my blood into order for one thing, and for restoring my digestion for another." ■ .

' " What indications were th e re that your blood required purifying?" asked our interviewer.

" Well, a number of sores broke out over my arms, and no measures that I adopted could take them away, with the solitary exception of Clements Tonic. No other medicine had the same effect on my-blood as that did, and nothing that I bad ever taken before was half so beneficial to my digestion as Clements Tonic. For about eight months 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 enjoy myself. A dull sense of depre sion seemed to have got mo fairly under, and when I had been Buffering from indigestion a little time I was scarcely ever free from headaches, and I found that my rest was greatly interfered with. I could go to bed feeling dreadfully tired out, but for all that it was more than I could do to get to sleep when I wanted, i\ d through having only a few hours' slumber each night my vitality became quite exhausted. Every morning 1 got up feeliug weary and dejected, and with an awfully bitter taste in my mouth. My sight was not as good as it ought'" to have been either, for sometimes there appeared to be ©quite a mist before me, and' my felt an if they had swelled during this night. It was a very wretched experience X_ hid, take my word; for when my appetito" died away it was surprising how quickly my strength went, aud then I was more disinclined for work than ever. Worse than all, I was subjected to no small amount of pain, which I -am positive was caused through my food not digesting, as tt was always soon after eating that they began. My stomach used to get full of wind and make me feel a burden 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, to >, the pains wera very severe, and I had such nasty aches in my loins that I never thought of taking a wa k if it could be possibly avoided,'* "To be like that was almost as bad a» being laid up;*' " Pretty well, and if it had not been foi Clement* Tonic I might have been, becaust a man cannot keep to his work very long in such a wretched state of health as I was in. However, I am glad to say .that my days of sickness from those complaints were soon over, under the wonderfully effective qualities of Clements Tonic, and it wi'l be a source of pleasure to me to help those suffering in the same manner by letting them know what that medicine can do. It cleansed and enriched my blood to begin with, and I got a remarkably gcod appetite almost at once. Using Clements Tonic seemed to awaken a new interest in life within me, for the despondent feelings left, and when renewed energy came I could work with a cheerful spirit. TliWtt is no doubt about Clements Tonic being the best thing going for the digestive organs, as it fixed mine up in no time, and when the pains and aches had all gone I left off taking that splendid remedy, because I had no further need for it."

"if you don't mind I'll report your cure ?"

" I have uo objection. I have lived in Duuedin for twenty-seven years, eighteen of which have been spent in this house, b< you may guess I am well-known, and J would not speak as I have in regard t« Clements Tonic unless I could honestlj recommend it. You can publish these fact/ in any way you choose." STATUTORY DECLARATION.
