The Effectsjf Climate. A LESSON FOR SUFFERERS. The Case of Mr. H. SHEPHERD. (BY A WELLINGTON KKrORTER.) The keen philosopher who observed that every curse has its blessing stands justified by the experiences of Mr. Henry Shepherd, tailor, of No. 100, Manners-street, Wellington, who remarked, when called upon by our reporter, that he had been in the colonies about ten years, " having landed in Melbourne in 1593 from Loudon, of which city I am a native,"'said Mr. Shepherd. "Then,"he continued, "I went over to Sydney about seven years ago, and it was at that time, when I began to feel the ill-effects of doing too much work at night, combined with the extreme heat during the summer months—" "Did you find much difference in the climate in Melbourne and Sydney?" quest'oncd the wiiter. " To me it appeared that the Sydney heat was of a much more enervating character than that experienced in Melbourne, although it might have been only imagination on my part, probably became my health was not so good as it was when I arrived from the old country. At any rate, I found myself regularly run down, and, being cooped up indoors all day, I. got considerably worse as the time wore on." " What were your feelings like Jencrally ':" "Oh ! horrible. I used to go about my work like a man who was in doubt as to what he was doing it for. I did not seem to be aide to bother myself whether things were done rightly or wrongly, but just jogged along in a dreary fashion day alter day without taking particular interest in anything. I used to feel as if I wanted food badly enough, but when it was placed on the table I could not touch it as a rule ; but occasionally my inclinations in regard to eating were quite the opposite, for I could sometimes eat a hearty meal. But the food seemed to have no taste of its own excepting that nasty, bitter flavour that was always in my mouth, and, another thing, there was no advantage to be gained by my taking food at all." " Why? Were you suffering from indigestion ?" "Ah ! that was where the trouble came in, as the smallest amount of food possible for a man to make a paltry meal of was always enough to create heavy pains in the chest, and my stomach felt quite overloaded. I got terribly shaky in my nerves and could not sleep at all well. I would go to bed, say, at eleven o'clock, feeling fairly tired out, and not before two or three, very often, could I get a wink of sleep, and then 1 generally dreamt and felt unrefreshed when I had to get up. With a heavy, swollen feeling in the eyes of a morning and very severe headaches to start the day with, my life became a perfect misery, and 1 could see no possible hope of tilings taking a turn for the better until I began taking Clements Tonic." " Was that remedy recommended to you by one of your friends ?" " Well, I had scarcely any friends in Sydney at that time, being almost a stranger in the place, so I had no one to give advice on such matters and f acted on my own judgment. I had been reading a testimonial in one of the dailies. That's how I came to take Clements Tonic, and 1 think myself a lucky man that I did, because Clements Tonic was the right remedy for the ailments 1 was suffering from. Even to the fur on the tongue, which testified to the disordered condition of my stomach, Clements- Tonic was the medicine to benefit me, and the feelings of giddiness which used to attack me were likewise abolished by the same means. I shall never forget my heartfelt happiness at so much improvement already—headaches gone, my nerves strengthened, and a really good appetite as well. My restless nights were over, for Clements Tonic subdued the torments that had kept me awake, and the vitality I had lost was actually regained. The most wonderful thing about Cements Tonic was its effect upon my digestive organs, wdiich were put into such a healthy condition that I h-xve not required to take any medicine since, which is now seven years ago. That ought to be a good test as to the permanency of my cure, and I think such a complete recovery should reach the hearing of all sufferers."

" Then this interview shall appear in the papers ?"

" You may publish it in any form you desire."
