but although they gave me every attention their medicines did me no good. A3 I said before, I thought my career as a soldier, waa over. It was only when I was laid up in bed. that I decided to try Clements Tonic. I had taken it before, and Derived Great Benefit, so I thought I would try it again. " And you found it a reliable remedy ? " " Yes, I was quite astonished at the benefit I received from it after even a few doses. In five or six days I had quite sot rid of the fits of vomiting and flatulence. My appetite picked up, and I felt more Cheerful and Hopeful than I had done for months past. My* headaches grew less and Less every day, v and I slept from 10 o'clock in tho evening till eight in the morning without waking, consequently I felt correspondingly refreshed in the mornings. Every day I noticed a marked improvements- Clements Tonic had excellent effects upon my digestive organs, aud if I missed but a dose or two I noticed the difference at once. Probably my liver was the cause of all the Various Bad Symptoms '*' I've spoken of j but, under the influence of Clements Tonic, the pains between the shoulders slowly went away as my liver ' commenced to work properly again. I began to feel quite a different man, after all the long Weariness, heaviness, and Lassitude , that were always upon me whilst my\livcr was not doing its duty. I felt now as though I was walking on air, the Change was so Great." "And how long did it take you to gat completely well ?" " Somewhere about six weeks, I suppose -"that is, my liver and digestion were iv Proper Order again. However, I still stuck to Clements Tonic for a time, and it soon mado me fit and strong and able to undertake any amount of 1 work. I always reckon to keep a bottle by me for emergencies, and if I was going on a campaign I tell you I would sooner take a few bottles of Clements Tonic than a whole medicine chest of drugs." "Do you ever have any trouble with your liver now, Mr. Barrett 1" " No, I never had a touch of the complaint since, though sometimes I've, felt a little out of aorta like, I suppose, everyone j does at times. I always found, however, two j or three doses of Clements Tonic set mo J right almost at once, and . —. \ Braced Me Together < again, and made me a strong, healthy man, as vigorous as I was when I first joined tho army. I can do a \ Hard Day's Work with any man. My health is first-cIMS, thanks to Clements Tonic, and I think I have a new lease of life." " Have you any objection to my making j public an account of your cure, and the statements you have made iv respect to j Clements Tonic ?" | "None at all." Our reporter then thanked Mr, Barrett for hiß kindness in affording him this somewhat lengthy interview, and expressing a hope that he might always retain tho good health he is at present enjoying, wished him good day. .
