Notices. Paint Poison! Undermines-his Health. THEY TOLD HIM TO EFFECT A CURE Clements Tonic Was a DEAD BIRD. The Case of Mr. Christopher Cullen. {From the Liverpool Herald, Aug. 13th, 1898.) (by our own reporter). " Please obtain full details as to his Illness and recovery, and also as to his present state of health." These were the instructions received by our (Liverpool Herald) reporter to visit Mr. Christopher Cullen, Atkinson Street, Liverpool. Mr. Cullen is as widely known as esteemed. He is a master painter, and the newspaper man betook himself and discovered Air. Cullen on the top of a house which he was painting. "May I have a word with you about your late illness," asked our reporter? At which Mr. Cullen descended, .and stated, "I am glad togetaway from the paint pots for atime, I can tell you, for a too close acquaintance with them was the first cause of my sickness. I got Lead Poisoning from the paint. Pains in the limbs attacked 'me, especially in the shin bones, and often 1 have been obliged to get up in middle of the night, so intense was the suffering from this cause. I became terribly constipated,which was sometimes varied by severe attacks of rliarrhuvi. I had always an unpleasant and bitter taste in the mouth, and a bad breath. I suffered from dyspepsia. There was a tight feeling on my chest, and my food lay atill iu rriy stomach and turned sour, and caused belching of sour and bitter gas." "How was the appetite?" "I hadn't one. I couldn't look at anything to eat. I was, consequently, half starved, and daily got worse and worse. A lull, leaden pain began to come Across the Back, Hid my eyesight began to go wrong." " Did it impair your eyesight ?" Yes. Especially at night. I couldn't go jut with safety after dark. I was continually troubled with dull, persistent headaches, and, worst of all, my nervous lystem became greatly weakened. My conititution was undermined by the poison absorbed from the paint, and my physical itrength was Completely Run Down." "What started you on Clements Tonic ?" "Mr. Jas. Smith, who lives in this town, hearing of the state I was in, called up to see me." "Clements Tonic will cure you, he said ? "Nonsense, I replied. I've tried all sorts of physic to no purpose. Mr. Smith said,"l tell vou Clements Tonic will cure you ; It's a Dead Bird." "Now, all I can say is that I thank Cod he convinced-me in the argument, and I started on Clements Tonic, and it did its work steadily and thoroughly. It first did away with my costivencss, and tha strange pains that were in my limbs and back. My nerves gradually improved, and I could soon eat my meals like a man again. The queer affection of my eyesight also speedily gave way to Clements Tonic." " You mU3t have been pleased?" "I was delighted. It was as much as I could do when I was sick to walk, and now 1 felt inclined to run." "And about the lead ?" "Clements Tonic eventually rid my blood of every particle of lead it contained, for I have not had the slighest twice of the poison, or felt any of its effects sin le I finished the second bottle, and I do not believe there is .-. particle of lead lurking within me. I now Feel a New Man, .ml have not been troubled since my cure." "And if you were?" "Oh! well, I know what to do—a few •loses of Clements Tonic taken in time, and I should be all right ?" "Tim will all go in the paper, Mr. Cullen." "Certainly it can. It's nothing but the a nth ; may it do some good. STATUTORY DECLARATION.
