A Startling Relation. FOUND THE PANACEA AT LAST. Th* Case of Mr. W. HUMPHREYS. (by a local reporter.) Everything now points to the conclusion that the difficulties experienced by Mr. William Humphreys, of No. 1 Vincentstreet, Auckland, are things of the past, and we do not open up a debatable statement by ssserting that a perusal of the following narrative will be a source of profit to the L'enenil reader. The reporter remarked : "If you have no objection I would like to hear about the illness you had when living in Sydney." . "I have not the faintest objection to j telling you every detail," was Mr. Humphreys' hearty rejoinder. "Yes you are light, it was in Sydney where the trouble began and ended, although, worse luck, between the start and finish a good deal of time elapsed. That made it all the harder for me, as I was suffering from a complaint that makes one day of it quite enough for anybody. I suppose you know what it is to Ijo unable to digest your food ? Well, most people do, at any rate, and nobody knows it better—or worse, I might say—than I do. i3tjfoio I actually knew of what was really store I could feel that my vitality was gr ally becoming very deficient, for alth<? h,ul plenty to do I did not seem able through it when I madea start, and it long while before I could make up my whether I would tuckle it or not. That appetite was poor I knew, but still 1 did not expect that fact to interfere with mj strength in such a short space of time as it • lid, and I thought I was taking enough food to keep me going, at any rate." " But you could not digest it, you say ? "After a while I could digest nothing, ami the Hiflering I went through I hope never to experience again. Immediately my light repasts were finished, I got as drowsy as could be, and shortly afterwards the real trouble began. I felt as if a quantity of wind had been stirred up m the stomach, which at once became distended, and then to the chest a most uncomfortable sensation passed which can only be likened to that of being stifled. Hitherto, I had always been free from headaches, but now I was hardly ever without them, and they had such a depressing e-Sset that I did not seem inclined t) Oulher about anything. Then something commenced giving me fits between the shouldeis- a sharp sort of pain —am! across' the lo'ns, I fairly ached. Worse sli'l, I got but very little rest at nights, so that who;) morning came I felt quite unfit to get up"anil go to my business, and the bitter t.(sle I had gave me a sickening efl'cct for the remainder of the day. I tell you I was getting ({iiite tired of it al', for I could get no relief from the many medicines I bought, neither did the doctors' physicsdo me any good, nnd for those reasons I think so much more highly of Cements Tonic because it restored my health when all else had failed. A gentleman keeping an liotol advised me to try it, and I have often thanked him for doing so, as I believe I would still be suffering from my old comi plaint had it not been for Clements Tonic. _ " Have you never had a touch of it "Upon my honour I have not had the least indication of indigestion since Clements Tonic stamped that horrible complaint out of my system, and as that happened some years ago I can safely call mine a permanent cure, for which, believe me, I am heartily thankful. A change came over me when I had taken a few bottles of Clements Tonic, that I could hardly credtf. I could take food without any fear of after consequences, because flatuence and those heavy feelings in tho chest never returned, and in due time I was as free from headaches as though I had never known what they were. That s a positive fact, and I think that for giving tono to the nervous system, and for restoring strength to a man run down like I was. there is nothing in existence to equal Clements Toi.ic. It also has an ability of its own to produce sound sleep, for nothing helped me in that respect like Clements Tonic, and if I get ill again I know what to buy to effect a cure." " Probably there are many who would like to hear this story ? " "I daresay many would benefit by reading it, so publish, if you like, my remarks in any way." STATUTORY DECLARATION.
