ANOTHER Dunedin Proof. A DECISIVE NARRATIVE.

(fiT A lOOAL REPORTER.)

The Oa\»© of Mr. W. BMITH,

Here is a tip that may be found useful to many, if they care to consult their own safety and comfort. It. is given by Mr. William Smith, of Main Road, North East Valley, Dunedin> \vho raid to our reporter :—: — '•To anybody whose health is broken down I canriot do anythiug better than recommend them to take some Clements Tonip, as I found it to be a first-rate medi> -cine^wrrcrn I was suffering from debility two years ago," " How long had you been ailing ? " inquired the press representative. 41 Fully twelve months," was the reply* " and a bad time I had of it, too. It was after a very severe attack of influenza that 1 was left in such a poor stale of health that I did not have enough energy to do anything scarcely. The tnost distressing feelings of languidness were in attendance every day, the rftsult of which was that I liad.no desire for work, and it was even too much trouble to do anything by way of recreation. My spirits kLo became very depressed, but such was not to be wondered at considering that my vitality 'was so very low. This state of weakness woulil probably not have continued so" long- if my appetite liad only been better, ami if the food I look had nourished me more •than.i.t did ; but those seemed to be my two greatest difficulties." " Your (Ugwciou w*B «videnUy in a bad ir»y T " "Of that thrre was no doubt whatever, as I suffered terribly with flatulence after taking food, and in the chest there was a feeling of oppression as if the food had formed into a lump. Under my shoulder blades there existed a pain that was very tantalising, and besides being intensely dull and drowsy I had headaches that made things all the more unpleasant for me. A peculiar feature of my sickness was that I used to get restless when T ought to have been sleep- ng, a» if my weariness during the Hay lad turned to an unnatural state of activity at nights for the purpose of depriving me of the sleep that was so much required ; and, of course, such a state of thfrrgs^ only conduced tointensify the exhaunted condition that I was in. Bearing the brunt of these adversities had the effect of considerably weakening my nervous system, and in regard to this matter I can speak well of Clements Tonic, as its nervetoning influences could not have been improved upon. The disordered conditionof my internal organs was demonstrated by the bitter tasie I used to have in the mojrnings, and I was well-pleated with Cftments Tonic when that unpleasantness #*»done away with, for then I could enjoy rny-'fobd better, as, in addition to its cleansing^qnalities, it gave me a splendid appetite, and when I started eating well it was not long before my vigor was on the increase." ••Had yon not taken any other medicine trefore w*ing (foments Tonic! " "I had taken'several kinds of physics, but not one of them was near as good as Clements Tonic, because it benefited my system right throughout. Ind igestion seems to .be such a common complaint that I think it shriuld be known to all who suffer from it thafethere is ft medicine within their reach which can gain the upper hand over their ailments, aud it is for this, reason solely that I speak of the advantages I gained by using Clements Tonic, which stopped the food from fermenting, and .thus relieved me of the pains arising from flatuleuce. With a further us* of -'that valuable remedy my digestive organs were thoroughly repaired, and it was really - remarkable what an invigorating effect Clements Tonic had upon me. The old feelings of drowsiness and depression .ware sput aside, and for removing headache«^ndthet)ther inconveniences I had endured/or twelve months, Clements Tonic added mi^> ita lists of advocates, for I shall never nwllect to advise those in need of tnedicinljFhelp to adopt the same course that lifted mcftrat of tha unhappy state I was in." ••I'erhift; it would be just as well to mAlce yonrimk>tf»rnemJ«fcion in * public way ? " . "I thitolt that feditld he the best thing to do, for then irijr experience could be brought under the notice of so many people that 1 nm not acquainted with, therefore you may. publish till I've said in any way you deem fit."
