*t t THE N.Z.L. AND M.A. COMPANT (Limited). Tho NewZcaland Loan and Morcantilo Agency Company (Limited) have, received "the following London, cable, " dated 20th "November, 1901 : — ' Tallow has advanced Is per cwt since lost report. "There I La^" " Night After Nig:h£" \ "A VICTIM TO INSOMNIA The Case of Mr. C. A. THORN! (By a Special Rtportcr.) The colonial home of Rugby football Is unquestionably in. , New Zealand, where some of the finest players in the "world indulge in the game. When the British football team visited the land of the moa some years ago, the members of that fine combination were astonished at the number of clever exponents of Rugby who were . pitted •gainst them in small towns, possessing names which the visitors found difficulty in pronouncing. Gymnasiums arc also, freely patronised, concerning which fact Mr. Charles Albert Thome, of Grey-street. Auckland, had something to say to the writer.* - "Xes," said Sir. Thome, "I took on gymnastics, and did three nights a. week at it afterwards, so that is sufficient proof that I was all right." '"Strength and vigour, are certainly required for that kind of athletics. , But were you very much run down beforehand r" asked the reporter. - " I was, indeed. My health was completely shattered, and I remained in a terrible state of collapse for fullj six months. Four years have elapsed since then, and I hope never to have a recurrence of that dreadful illness, which started in the form of a very bad , attack ,of indigestion. I always had an unpleasant and bitter taste in my mouth, and there was a tight fooling on my chest after eating, combined with severe pains in the stomach, where the food lay heavily and undigested, till it turned sour and fermented. A dull pain began to tantalise me under the shoulders, besides whioh I had sharp f ricking jjensations under the lower ribß. used to' 4 do a lot of reading, but now my eyesight became so bad that I could not read. Persistent depressing headaches made me always feel dejected and miserable; but my'-greatest misfortune was' that I could "not. sleep at night. Whether through! over-study or through being so excessively weak and debiHtatea I cannot say, but sleep refused to give me the solace I bo badly wanted. When everybody was soundly asleep, there I lay, night after night,* wide awake. I was a victim to insomnia in its moat hideous form,' and nobody can realise what that means unless they have experienced' the same great mental suffering which I endured. Then my appetite failed. altogether. I could not be tempted to eat, and so I lost all my flesh. It took considerable effort on my part to arouse myself from the state of lethargy into which I had, fallen. Very often I did not succeed, but lay for hours in a listless and exhausted state. If I walked about, or exerted myself ever so little, I was; overcome with feelings of faintness, and myf limbs ached again from extreme weakness. It was absurd going on in this way any longer, as I was physioally and mentally exhausted, so I determined to go for a long . holiday to recuperate my health, in order to avert being laid up perhaps for life." "And, did you go away for a holiday P" "No; 1 jt became unnecessary. Before putting that idea, into effect, I was prevailed upon to take a course of Clements ' Tonic. That was the best advice ever given to me, for by its adoption my health was restored to perfect order. The pains in my stomach and back were quickly eased, and in a few' days were entirely subdued. So were the awful aches which .had been in my head for months, and when I was rid of thqse troubles, I had no difficulty in obtaining a little rest, whiph oame to me slowly but surely, until I .'alwayß relied 'upon having a 'good night's \ sleep, and awoke in the morning feel-i ing the benefit of it. Clements Tonic did all that for me, and more. It gave me a splendid appetite, and , braced up my nervous system. I put on flesh rapidly, and- my strength daily inoreased. In a very reasonable space) of time there was not 'a sign of indigestion left, my brain was stimulated into healthy activity/ and I was as fit and well as before my exhausting illness attacked me.' As I before stated, I resumed athletio exercise with a will." "Would you like these facts known P" "Yes, to benefit others, yon may publish my statements."
