Dyspepsia and Debility

A LASTING CURE. The Case of Mr. J. H. HOOPER. ft (By a. Chrislckurch Reporter). In a country like. New Zealand,, where ie climate is generally . favourable %ov r ancF pastoral ppjsuit4jf<iflildSi natural sequence that fine sheep and attle are reared 'on the hills 'Jfid; plains ( hich are yearly covered with .luxuriant £ rass. Besides affording great scope ior he enterprise of farmers and graziers : ad men of all grades of industry, New j Zealand possesses natural advantages of uch magnificence that it is regarded san ideal country for tourists. The emperate heat of summer makes traveling a pleasure— -whilst the sharp, frosty atmosphere during the winter months iias « bracing influence • . upon the inhabitants. Most people feel marked affects resulting from changes in clir nate, and one gentleman's, experience n this may prove .beneficial to . most readers. Mr. John Henry Hooper, ;f Stanmore-road. JEtichmond, Chnstr 3hurch, during the course of conversadon, informed the reporter that he was residing' in Brisbane, Queensland, some .ime back. ._■ . "How did the climate agree with you ?" asked the pressman. , ■ "Not at all welL In fact, after living in that hot city three or four years I found that I was becoming a confirmed victim to that tired feeling winch afflicts so many people. The enervating effects of the burning heat brought dis^ aster to my constitution. I was debili- " bated and weakened to a great' degree: A. feeling of languor and fatigue beset me, making everything I had #6 do a nuisance and a drudging. I was completely run down, and my appetite deserted me just at the time X required to eat in order to regain my strength^ If I did take a little food I experienced severe attacks of indigestion, • as shown by an uncomfortable feeling ii» the stomach, with dull, oppressive pains in the . chest. I suffered greatly with piercing headaches, and there was a bad taste in my mouth." "Were you abio te eet any rest at night?". ~ "No; -not much. The /nerves of the ] ..brain seemed crowded togethorj-by: gages', ! which arose from the undigested foodf, and the resulting pains in thte head kept • me awake at night. On arising in the morning I felt drowsy and exhausted, with my limbs ever aching from insreasinsc weakness Sharp pains came between the shoulders to assist in adding to my affliction, and, taken alto- ' ?ether. I had a very bad time indeed." i "Did your sufferings extend over a length of time?" ,i ''Too long for my liking, I assure you. ■ I was in a state of debi'ity between two i and three years ; . my digestive organs ! ivere and I was also afflicted with insomnia, so it is not necessary to further describe my condition." • '. "What medicine were you taking all that time?" . S i \ "Whatever they were they are not worth mentioning, as they did me no good whatever. On the other hand, 1 i experienced tlie utmost relief from Clem- . ents Tonic ; the first bottle gave me increased energy.' My appetite returned I h'ke magic, and by that means I was able to throw off the cloak of fatigue which had so long hung upon me.f Ifc * was a pleasure to reel hungry once more, but the most satisfactory feature of this great change was that my food had. no trouble in digesting. The pains in my back slowly but surely diminished and the feeling of weight and oppression in ' my chest went away. The acute and l ' distressing headaches became less severe, i and had longer intervals between them until at last they, too, were obliterated by Clements Tonic. As these pains , ; csased to torture me I managed to s!«ep more regularly, and far more soundly than I had done for months aiid months. There is no doubt that. Clem- j ents Tonic cannot be beaten for restor- ! ing a debilitated and shattered system ! to robust health. In my case it great- ! ly exceeded my most sanguine anticir ! nations. I felt" each dose effecting an improvement in my general health, but although I became daily stronger and stouter I kept on with Clements Tonio till I was, quite well and in a splendid condition. 1 have not required to take j any medicine since, so that speaks yolj vines for the merits of Clements Tonic." "Can I insert your remarks in the j j press?" , Decidedly. Others may profit there- i by, so you can publish my statements, i in any way you choose." '".
