For the Aged Health for Ail: Young and Old, We are glad that our blood-purifying and blood-forming remedy is good for all ages. It brings health to palo and feobl® children and it relieves the dcjbility and weakness that naturally come to old age. \ Mr. Levi Sargeant, of Grenfell, New South Wales, sends* us this letter, with Il\s photograph: •• I have teen a terrible sufferer from rheumatism and sciatica. I liavo spent a great deal of money in trying to get rid of tho pain, *ut without avail, and! have been confined to Hie bed for months at a time. I then tried AVER'S Sarsaparifla aiftd began to improve at once. After taking o:tuy six bottles I felt quite well, and how am able to go about my work again.

The Case of MR. H. C. McCREADY. (By an Auckland Reporter). A man may be ever so poor without everybody knowing it, provided he has' a good exterior. ' If, however, the coat is but an antiquated relic of better <days, it is hard to make believe other than that the threadbare garment is an. emblem of poverty, unless the wearer be notoriously rich, as is sometimes the oase, in which event it may be regarded as affording an air of indifference to the conventionalities of society. Mr. Hugh Clyde McGready is a gentleman capable of giving practical expressions of opinion in regard to_ dress. » Being a master tailor, conducting a prosperous business at 398 Queen-street, Auckland,Mr. McCready's views on those matters are greatly respected by his customers,: but the statements given below were supplied for the perusal of the community! at large. .'.••.. i "I. hear that you have invested a lot of capital without receiving adequate returns," said the representative. "So I have,**;,was the reply. "I, have spent hundreds of pounds without getting a pennyworth of value in return.;" I commenced those specula-? tions fifteen or 'sixteen years ago, when; 1 first became -sub ject'io indigestion. 1 I could have sayed all those years of terrible suffering j besides hundreds of pounds, if Iliad only. known what I. do now. However, I paid dearly for; my experience, but I have so much sym-^ pathy for those who are afflicted in a like manner that I deem it a duty to make the facts known. I was tortured to; death with the most exquisite paroxysms: of pain in the chest, and my sides felt as if a knife was penetrating them. = Tremendous sick headaches almost; blinded me with their violence, and; many a time I could not raise my head from the pillow. My back was the aeat of much agony, especially behind my shoulders, and I have experienced pain in the stomach which fairly doubled me up. My tongue was covered with; a disagreeable moisture, and my mouth; had a continual nasty taste in it. My ■ food lay like a lump of lead, and thenturned bad. Windy spasms came on, and set my heart palpitating frightfully. I thought I was going to shuffle off. this mortal coil. These spasms werei so painful sometimes that I thought" they would kill me. I have been four months at a time away from work, being unable to move. When in bed I could only lie on the left side, with a pillow i under me. My bones were too tender, and ached too much, to allow me to lie on the bed.". <S " I suppose you altered considerably in appearance?" "Well, slightly. I became so yellow in the face that I was almost beyond j recognition. My face has been bronze in colour when my disease was at its worst. The agonies were ] so Unendurable that I have had to have my chest and back rubbed | alternately when in bed. My appetite was lost completely, and I gradually I dwindled away to a skeleton, my bones boing distinctly visible through my akin. There was not an atom of strength, in my system, which was altogether broken up.. I was languid and melancholy, and many a time have I prayed for death to release me from the daily torture which was dragging me down to my grave. A great trouble was constipation; my breath also being bad." "Were you taking medicine rsgiN larly?" "I was obliged to, although it was useless to me. My liver was diseased, otherwise the indigestion would not have been so obstinate and distressing. When I lived in the country I used to take ten pounds worth of medicine from Auckland at a time, besides consulting many doctors who could not cure me. I have tried every patent medicine going, besides gallons or doctors' physic, and not one "ofthem did me any good." "How were you cured then?" "By taking Clements Tonic. Yes; I had lost hope, and thought myself an invalid for life, but Clements Tonic saved me by restoring regularity in every way. My liver was stimulated and made healthy, then the pains in my stomach, back, and chest were relieved. Headaches were cured, and my appetite returned.. The food digested thoroughly ; strength and* vitality , quickly *. returned. Clements Tonic made a sound, healthy man of me, and you can make the fact known in any
