A Startling Relation. FOUND THE PANACEA AT LAST. Tha Oaio of Mr. W. HUMPHREYB. (BY A LOOAD RKFORTBR.) 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 asserting that a perußul of the following narrative will be a source of profit to the. general read«K The reporter remarked : " If yon have no objection I would like to Hear about the illness you had when living in Sydney." * < "I have not tha faintest objection to telling, you. every detail," was Mr. Humphreys' hearty rejoinder. "Yes, you art right, 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 be unableto digest your food? Well, most people do, at any rate, and nobody knows it better—or worse, I might say—than I do. Before I actually knew of what was really store I could feel that my vitality was gr ally becoming very deficient, for altho had plenty to do I did not seem able through' it when I made a start, and it long while before I could make up my whether I would tackle it or not. That appetite was poor I knew, but still I did not expect that fact to interfere with my strength in such a short space of time as it did, 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, and the suffering 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 in 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 [was hardly er«r without them, and they had such a depressing efitct that I did not gecin inclined to bother about anything. Then something commenced giving me fits between the shoulders—a sharp sort of pain —ami across the loins, I fairly ached. WJorse still, I got but very little rest at nights, so that when morning came I felt quite unfit to: get up and go to my business, and the bitter tuste I had gave me a sickening effect for the remainder of the day. I tell you I was getting quite tired of it all, for I could get no relief from the many inedjeines I bought, neither did the doctors physics do me any good, and for those reasons I think so much more highly of Clements' Tonic because it restored my health when all else had failed. A gentleman keeping an hotel 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 complaint had it not been for Clements Tonic." "Have you never had a-touch of it since ?" . :■ ...'*"■. "Upon my honour I have not had the least indication of indigestion since Clements Tonic stamped that horriblo complaint out of my systemj and as that happened some.yeam 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 credit. I could take food without any fear of after consequences, because flatuence and. those heavy feelings in the 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 tone to the nervous system, and for restoring strength to a man run down.like.l was, there is nothing in existence to equal Clements Toiiic. 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 1o effect a euro." ;; " Probably there are many who would like to hear this story ?" I 4' I daresay many would benefit by reading it, so publish, if you like, my remarks in , any way." STATUTORY DECLARATION. I.
