POINTS wniTw The Case of Mr. C. BOUGHTON* (BY A DUNIDIN RBPORTBR.) It is exceedingly difficult to get an actual acquaintance with the constitution of « country unless one has lived for a time in face-to-face view of its operation. Often the exact meaning of the words employed to describe the working of a constitution can only be got on the spot, and so it is with matters concerning the individual members of every home. To gain an accurate insight into affairs that once affected Mr. Clement Boughton, of No. 58 Forth-street, Dunedin, a reporter called at that gentleman's residence and enquired : " Is it a fact that you were once ailing with indigestion, and that you are now quite cured ? " " That is so," answered Mr. Boughton, "and it is to Clements Tenic that my gratitude is due for being in such splendid i health at the present time. It was when I j was living at Tuapeka West, about four or » five miles from Lawrence, where I was working, that my sufferings began, and a, , fellow-workman put me on to taking tho \ remedy that cured me." *• « _ J "Had you been trying any other niedi* J cine before you took Clements Tonic ?" "I had taken several kinds, but they had no good effect; so that for fully fivo months I had to persevere with my work under most unfavourable circumstance*. •! My appetite got so frail that I scarcely ever j enjoyed ,my meals, and many a day I had 1 uot the least inclination for feod. It does i not take a great deal of that sort of business j to reduce a man's strength, as I found on* | to my sorrow, and when sleeplessness also | started bothering me my vitality ran on* | all the more quickly. In this way I soon 3 became so languid that I had no desire for . work at all, and with the feeling of drowsiness that settled upon me I was not in tho right frame to lake interest in anything, j Nearly the whole of some nights passed | before I could get to sleep, and when I woko up it was usually with a nasty headache, that tormented me for the rest ->f the day. A bitter taste in my mouth gave my morn- \ ing meal an unpleasant flavor % and aft** 3 eating ever so little I was afliir-ted with *. j heavy sensation in the chest, which seemed ~| to interfere with my breathing, f But thas % was not the worst part of my troubles, « | my stomach used to become tilled with wind that arose from the undigested food, and the pains that also came there wer* severe in the extreme. A new experituc* for me, and one that I did not like either,* was to find that my nervous system was ttreatly run down, for when I had done *J little exercise my nerves were quite shaky, and at other times they started to trembls if anything occurred that gave me a start. . Often a strange mist gathered before my eyes and gave me the impression that liltla dark specks, like grains of soot, were dancing in front of me, while, to make my Hfs still more miserable, there were aches in my loins that sometimes made walking quitw j inconvenient. © I am not altogether sups what caused it, although I suppose it was one of my indigestion symptom? » but thers was a pain right under my shoulder blades, that I could hs.ve done very wetf wit"*mt; yes £ had to bea? every one of my ailments rrg'.*tf up to the time I sarted fcking Clements Tonic, ami then, I am thankful to say, I soon began to feel easier. Upon my word, I' never experienced such a rapid change fop the better in all my life, and my speedy recovery affords emphatic proof of the curing capabilities of Clements Tonic, which T can safely say is a genuine remedy for ailments similar .to.t'ae ones I suffered from." " Can you remember the first benefits yon derived ?" " To tell you the truth, I felt more vigorous and cheerful after taking a couple of bottles.of Clements Tonic than I had been for along time, and the appetite I got was surprising. By-and-bye I 'noticed that_ my food was going through a proper process of digestion,, for the wind and stomach pains left off annoying me, and the heaviness had gone from my chest as well. For curing headaches and making me sleep, besides removing all pains and putting my nervous system/into' splendid fettle, I shall always bear pleasing recollections of Clements Tonic, and you may pubjisli these facts for ethers' benefit in any form you.like. •*' STATUTORY DISCLAItATION.
