BLOOD IMPURITY.

7 PIMPLES LIKE YOUNG BOILS. trtTOUSHESS and DYSPEPSIA.

1 ,-.- - " ' , £he Case of Mr. F. PALMER. 1

(By a Local Repot ter.)

Our interviewer met Mr. Frederick Palmer, of No. 107 "Hanover-street, Dunedin, Avho stated that whilst working 4 uVtb\e f/uifr trade between Auckland and Fiji, his blood got in a bad slate. "JPimpies came out all over .-my body,' said Mr. Palmer. " They were just like young boils; with a distressing aching painp which proved a source of continua annoyance. After a while these pimples became very itchy and irritating, andthe more I-seifttfechevl, the more they, itchod. The torture was unendurable, sometimes ma.king me rub and rub till the tops came off, and thu3 the exa-perating irria.taMQiL was intensified. I got no proper rest at night — very often no sloep at all — and I got up nearly every morning feeling thoroughly unfit for work, i If I got four or five hours sleep out of tho twenty-four I did rcmafkaoly well, but it was not an unusual thing for me to He J in misery all night through and nob sleep haJf-an-hour. When I dici dose crff it was generally about the t.nie I should' be getting up, but I wa>* so exhausted and done up that I was g ad to yield at any time to the overpowering .sense of weariness which sometimes brought a brief repose. Oi. awaking, I always found my piilow we' with 'a saiiva which had been runni:> from my month." Q

'"Perhaps you were also suffering from biliousness?" hazarded thp reporter. "I l.iv siuo 1 tv:.s. A.ij i > v i;.hour ing under an attack of bi.ioubness ifc never in doubt about tbe matter, as tie symptoms are made too forcibly evident to allow of any room for doubt. 1 can advance no reason whatever for this ailmen^cgjnjn.g oij,, unless it be attributable to the hob spells of weather I experienced whilst doing business in .the tropical islands. I do not remember suffering from bile before this attack neither any >of my re', a lives of a biliou»-temperanient. But, at any rate, I' fell' into a frightfully bad state of health altogether. I had not the leas! desire for food, having complete'y lost my appetite. About as much food of would satisfy a delicate chi.l4- was always enough for me, and- Bfelt quite bloated and stuffed after, eating it. A most uncomfortable feeling appeared in my chest, which felt overburdened and weighed down. fThese symptoms were followed- Tjy depressing, stifling sensations - which I had to endure for long periods. On getting out of bed in the mornings, the objectionable taste of bile was in my mouth, and my tongue was dry and furred. The food that lay undigested in my stomach turned to wind, thus causing almost incessant belching* of spur gases. Sickly headaches were my incessant tormentors ; but tho heaviest load I had to carry was a terrible nMjn tjjybiitljQQnijvthatomade my existence a hardship. Of course, I sank into a serious state of weakness, and my flesh quickly went out of sight. The last ounce of strength seemed to be sapped out of me,. .my nerves also being unKS^fea'^iiiafcLeranged. Costiyeness was a regular trouble from which I tried in^v&in to get relief." |£What kind of medicines did you tak&SMr. Palmer?" "J&cannot remember the names of all of $t|em now, but at all events they dioVne no goody In spite of everything I took my ailments remained unconquer- " ed^fiowever, whilst reading the paper one evening, my eyes happened to rest on^a^-eport relating to one of the most wdttqerful things I ever read. It was all 9Kbout ,» person who had suffered grefjly like my§elf, and who was made weJFjpy a course of Cements Tonic. The ideaitruck me at once that 1 ought to folltftr in that man's footsteps, and so I didC^The first bottle of Clements Tonic worked wonders. I fe^t greatly improved in many ways. *For instance, the agjpaj;ating itching soon, became a. little, i«sfeF, * arid 'there was' a" considerable cessation. fpfi .those; painful aches which had so long affected my limbs. The confined state of mv bowels was altered tftffegfority which w«i hitherto ua-

known to me, and there was abundant proof of the cleansing properties of Clements Tonic, for the pimples on my skin soon dried up and disappeared altogether. I also experienced the rest and relief afforded by sleeping soundly at night, without being disturbed by unpleasant dreams.*? The mornings found me refreshed and full of energy. Those direful feelings of apathy and listlessness were effectively stamped out by Clements. Tonic, and I am sure there is nothing in the world to compare with i that medicine for removing bodily pains. Even my bilious headaches departed ; but in tlfe meantime I had gained a healthy appetite. Mv digestive organs were repaired thoroughly. Instead of fermenting and turning to wind, ray food now nourished and strengthened my weakened system.O.As a blood purifier, Clements Tonic has no equal, as it gave me a clear skin and a fresh complexion' in place of a yellow colour and disfiguring eruptions, he■*ides making my. breath pure and my mouth sweet. When I" had taken three Sottles 1 had to wait for a week before [ couid get any more, on account of being out of touch with civilization;; but I got another bottle or two as soon as I had the chance. These were enough to make the cure perfect, for by the time they were finished, I had regained all my lost vitality, my frame ■vas well covered with flesh, and the de -angements of my neryous system were et aside, After reaping so* much benefit from the use of Clements Tonic I nar turally recommend it to any invalid who comes under my notice." " What are the usual results of youi recommendations ?" £ "The results are always satisfactory. A case in point is that of my wife, who some years back was in an alarming *tate of health. She could not walk across the room without feeling a' fit of giddiness come on, and was everlastingly complaining about being weary and fatigued. Ido not wonder at it, because -he was never hungry, and Sihe.was .unablb to digest tho light ftiet partaken of. She used to puffer 'with terrible pains in the head, chest, and side, besides enduring frightful agonies in the stomach and botweeu the shoulders. 3ho could not keep the food down at ill, but .was- continually vomiting and straining her inside. A terrible nervous prostration ensued, and at last my wife could not walk; fhe was too weak, rhen she went to the hospital, where ; a ittle temporary relief was' obtained, bub a second visit was Foom necessary, and thus she continued backwards and forwards, tiil, altogether ,she was in hospitals three years. Besides prescribing all sorts of medicines, the doctors administered blisters and plasters to further orders, but their treatment did not bring the louged-for relief,. Some doctors said it was an exceptionally severe case of general debility, whilst another medical man said she, was suffering from an internal "complaint". It seems as if they did not know what to make- of her disease, but in any case she was several times very near the grave, and I am sure nobody could be so miserable and hopeless as she was. As the doctors could not cure her, my wife resorted to Clements Tonic, and. thus she waa saved. Clements Tonic eased all pains, toned the nerves, restored strength, and, in short, made her a healthy woman-. Publish these facts in any way you choose."

instead with nursing them, so that their hoises keep fit and well when the mortality among those of the regulars is enormous. Another significant aide-light on the mortality comes from the ' Pall Mall Gazette,' which quotes as its authority an ex* Boer officer. When remounts are purchased they are placed on board ship for transportation to the Cape, and any pier-head pimp or quay loafer who offers his services is engaged to help in looking after the animals during transit. The officer in question makes the serious and startling statement that among the men so employed are a sprinkling of Boer agents, who are paid to inoculate the horse with prickers, bo that soon after landing they begin to lose form. Such an easy and effective method of dealing with the horses is hardly likely to have escaped the Boer officials, but whether the story is true or not, the the fact is patent, that during the period of transportation the horses are open to any doping or doctoring that a wily enemy may devise. The Boer is an adept at sowing tares by night, and it is more than possible that the British Government has been unwittingly reaping the subsequent undesirable harvest.
