Another Sluggish Liver, Gives a Lot of Trouble. The Cam of MR. H. C. McCREADY. {By an Auckland Reporter). A man may be ever so poor without everybody knowing it, provided he haa • good exterior. If, however, the coat is but *n antiquated relio of -better days, it is hard to make believe other than that the threadbare garment is an emblem of poverty, unless the wearer be notoriously rich, as is sometimes the case, in which event it may be regarded as affording an air of indifference to the conventionalities of society. Mr: Hugh Clyde McCready is a gentleman capable of giving practical expressions of opinion in regard to dress. - Being a /master tailor, conducting a prosperous business at 398 Queen-street, Auckland. Mr. McCready's views on those matters are greatly respected by his customers, but the statements given below were supplied for the perusal of the community at large. \ • "I hear that you have invested a lot of capital without receiving adequate returns," said the representative. "So I have," was the reply. "I have spent hundreds of pounds without getting a pennyworth of value in return. I commenced those speculations fifteen or sixteen years ago, when I first'became subiect to indigestion. I could have saved all tHose years of terrible suffering, besides hundreds of pounds, if I nad only known what I, do now. However. I paid dearly for my experience, but I have so much sympathy for those who are afflicted in a like manner that I deem it a duty to make the facts known. I was tortured to death with the most exquisite paroxysms of pain in the chest, and' my sides felt as if a knife was penetrating them. Tremendous sick headaches almost blinded me with their violence, ami many a time I could not raise my head from the pillow. My' back was the seat of much agony, especially bohinci mjr shoulders, and I have experienced pain in the stomach which fairly doubled me up. My tongue was covered with a disagreeable moisture; and my mouth 'had' a continual nasty taste in it. My food lay like a lump of lead, and then turned bad. . Windy cpasnis came on, and set my heart palpitating frightfully. 1 thought I was going to shuffle of!' this mortal coil. Those spasms were so. painful sometimes tha.t I thought they would kill me. I have been four months at a time away from work, bain,': unable to move. When in bed I couk*. only, lie.on the left side, with a i>iiJj>w under me. My bones were too tontier. ahd ached too much, to allow me to lie : on the bed." ■ "I suppose you altered considerably in. appearanceP' „ "Well, slightly. I became so yc!lo\r in the face that I was almqst beyond recognition. My face has been bronze in colour when my disease w.is at ite worst. The agonies were 8p unendurable that I have had to have my chest and back rubbed alternately when in bed. My anne!- h> was lost 5 completely, and I gradual!?dwindled away to a skeleton, my bor « being distinctly visible thronpfi my skin. There was, not an atom of strength in my systam, which was altogether broken up.- % was laugu'd ; ivmV ipelarir-hoiy, and many a time""have I prayed for death to release me f«.om the daily torture which was dragging me down to my. grave.,. A great trouble was constipation 1; 'my breath also being-bad." " Wert> you taking medicine regularly?" , . "I was onjiged to, although it was ageless to me. My liver was d:s?.ased. otherwise the indigestion would not have been so obstinate and distressing. When I lived in the country I used to take ten pounds worth' of medicine from Auckland at a time, besides consulting many doctors who could not cure me. I * have tried every patent medicine gomg, besides gallons of doctors' physin, and not one of them did me, any good." "How were yon cured.-thenP"' "By taking Clements Tonic. Yes; I had lost hope, and. thought myself, nn invalid for life, but Clements Tonic saved me by restoring regularity in every way. My liver was stimulated and made healthy, then the pains in mv stomach, back, and chest were relieved. Headaches .were, cured, and my apn»fcite returned. The food digested thoroughly; strength and vitality quickly returned.? Clements Tonio made a sound, healthy man of me, and you can make the fact known in any W»yi" STATUTORY DECLARATION.
