CLIMATIC DEBILITY.

A Lesson Worth Learning.

The Case of Mr. A. TIIVIfVIINQS'

(by a local beporter.)

Even in this thriving country it is advisable for people to pause and ask whether they shouldnot,in the hey-day of tlieirprosperity, provide against the terms of adversity that come sooner or later to us all; and if such ills .as are related below should come to the reader, hewillhavespenthis time toad vantage by perusing this narrative, which was lately told to a reporter by Mr. Albert Timmings, of Heralcl-streeb, Borhampore, Wellington. "Some time ago," said Mr. Timmings, "I put a few months in down south. It was winter time, and a very severe one, too. Then at the commencement of the summer I went to Auckland and I experienced an extreme in the other direction, for ib was the warmest summer they had had for some years." "Do you think," asked the reporter, " that the change affected your health ?" " I am sure it did," was the emphatic reply, "for the excessive heat upset me altogether, and I had not been in Auckland very long before 1 could see for myself that my system was thoroughly run down. Slowly, but surely, my vitality had become exhausted, and I got into such a chronic state of languid ness that I never felt fit for anything that required the least exertion. Ido not mean to say that 1 had to leave my business altogether, aa that would not be correct; but 1 do say that 1 had neither the energy nor the inclination to do my work with a good grace. Everything seemed to ho a nuisance—eveu matters that had previously liven a source of pleasure ; but I suppose that was because I felt so terribly worn out and depressed m spirits. Noi,only was my system so greatly weakened but IJabourei under a melancholy apprehensive feeling that pictured some awful calamity or other, which, happily, never came, with the exception ot that which occurred to my health ; for there was no mistaking the tact that it was gelling worse and wm=c. My appetite had almost entirely vanished, and I j;ot very restless at niy.lit.-3. The la'.i.ur troulilo was sonuilhint;thatlenuldnot undet Htiuul because 1 felt so drowsy all day, as if I could have g"!ie to sleep «t a moment's notice ; and then 10 timl is so hard to get a decent night's rest was very trying indeed. By way of variety, however, I got an odd night's heavy sleep, but L noticed 1 was just, as weary in the morning a« i was usually, :>nd what began to disturb my peace of mind in no small degree was to notice that my noi vo* wero getting weaker every day. Then neur.ik'iu started its tormenting antics, uiml the pain i endured was almost indescribable. My digestion was also bad, for I often felt, a'ter taking a little food, that it would have been better to have relieved the stomach of the eatables that I had swallowed, aa they simply laid there and fermented and gave me considerable discomfort. The heavy feeling in my eyes, the Litter taste of a lncrninjr, giddiness, and aches across the loins, ail those wretched things went to show that my internal organs wanted hU aighteuing up ;so .1 went to a doctor. Hi* medicine was absolutely no good to me, so at last I gave it up and s\u ted a course or Clements Tonic instead.' , " Did you find it more suitut le to your requirements ":'' "1 slK.uld lather think I did, as 1 commenced to feel ease from my neuralgia pains .soon after starling on Clements Tonic, and when 1 iiiuiul it was the rg'ifi remedy lotthat complaint you may rest contented that i kept on taking it till I whs completely (Hired 1 as>i:re you it was a merciful release from suilenm; and 1 shall never forget Clemen , * Tome for it. In my ease it was an inw.iu.'ible medicine, for it gitve a womle.iful annum! of tone tv my net ve3, besides making niv digestion as , sound as it cj'.ild possibly be. jS'>thin<r in the world < ould possibly excel Clements Tonic for ating the appetite, ami I do not think there is anything to come near it for iii'Te.ish'g one's a- ren-ji.il and doing away with sueii ailments as those 1 have uienlioiu-d. Clements Tonic did not simply p;iteh mc up, but left me in n thoroughly sound Mid heultliy condition, and I have fell- gland ever since." " Perhaps you would like athers to know this?" " For their own benefit—yes, and you can publish this interview in any way y< v please."
