Attention hayins been oaUed.to am ftxcepbiosal incident in the neighbourhood of, St. ft; reporter was sent to interview* the' principal in the case — Mr. John Marks, of Richard-son-street. Mr. Marks has lived in* Si.' Kilda many years, and enjoys the ac^ 1 quaintance of numerous residents of that suburb. The specific object of the reporter's "visit was to jjgtain the un- .' garnished truth from Mr. Marks' own lips, so he began by asking that gentleman from what complaint he had suffered. # "Lumbago," was theQreply. " Every bone in my body became painful and tender. The agouy^ra¥ s^gf that I could not bear to move, asY^whSn' 7 ' I did, the suffering was increased beyond description. All my joints were stiff and sore, but the most intense pains were situated in my back. I could not atoop Jfo), lace my, . boots, ,and""ifc took fuHy v ajaJnqu.r to dress •mygejf, for when I mbvea my arms or bent my body I was seized with such acute pains that my aching frame shook all over. My . constitution ran right down. I had no energy or desire for anything, except to lie down, which I was obliged }q"; at last, ffoe/ar e/ a longej, stretch than -If appreciated. I was laid up four weeks,' being 3*~ Cass* child. The wretched nights I put in I shall never forget. Every day I felt dull and exhausted ■ with continuous torture, but when darkness set in the agonies were worse. My limbs became inflamed and frightfully tender. The bedclothes were irritating to the skin and felt too heavy for my weak, frame, to bear. I was stifled and -weighed down with a sense of oppreggion^in.my. chest, and could only draw my breath in short gasps. I used to prajjktcgetra little sleep, but it ' never came. My._J)r.aui was as fatigued as my body^witK this constant^wpjrjfii^.^ wakefulness, and I couTdneitheir'" read nor hardly ever^&hink. I was simply existing without any tangible reason-for-doing so, as my faculties were all dead, excepting the ever-present torture which negGe£ : 4alled." " After lying up four weeks you were greatly improved, I presume?" " Not£gr.eatly^-ottly ; very slightly., A N chemist gave me^sometoedicines which * a little temporary ease, so I got up, thinking. I would, soon ' be all right again. ~'l was sadly mistaken, as my - ailment soon became- more severe and vexatious than> ever. The pains in my back and loins were now more than . I could stand. My appetite fell away till I could not,, eat. as. much as a bisand even milk foods would -not "digest.

Even a'jfop'dejc-'-ately warm sun was too strong for my debilitated system to stand. I felt sick at the stomach through_a;naxiseous\t*ste in my mouth, besides being- 1 troubled with vomiting and belching up of wind. 1 ' Sleeplessness became chronic, and by my enforced sacrifice of rest I was 4^. most crippled with weakness. Then in'y nerves gave way, an affliction which made me easily startled and terrified.
The sound of voices, or even the singing of a bird, was irritating to my ears, and invariably increased the acutene§s of my increasing headaches. ©After my first experience with .thejcjiemist's medicines I thougnVther© was no hope of ever getting^ properly right again ; but at length, I chance^ ,to read in the paper a,boufc a. fellow-sufferer, who had been cured by "Clements Tonic, of which medicine I there and then made a purchase.« To my unspeakable astonishment and delight I commenced to feel a decided change for the better after ~ taking severaLdoses of Clements .Tonic. ■ an appreciable^incresis© in my appetite being *th*«dMwtsn«igff*^of *~ Little by little the excruciating pains in my back subsided, till there were none left.
