WHICH NEVER LULLED a.£ner«Ts tonic The Case of Mr. J. MARES. (By a Special Reptrter.) Attention having been called to an exceptional incident iu the neighbourHood of St. Kilda, Dunedin, a reporter was sent to interview the principal in the case—Mr. John Marks, of Bichard~ •.on-street. Mr. Marks has lived in St. Kilda many years, and enjoys the acquaintance of numerous residents of that suburb. The "specific object of the reporter's visit war to obtain the untarnished truth from Mr. Marks' own tips, so he began by asking that gentleman fr«Mii what complaint he had suffered. "Lumbago," was the reply. ' Every bone in my body became painful and tender. The agony was so great that I could not bear to move, aa, when £ did, the suffering was increased bevond description! All my joints were stiff and sore, but the most intense pains were situated in my back. X could not stoop to lace my boots, and it took fully an hour to dress myself, for when I moved my arms or bent my body I was seized with such acute pains that my' aching frame shook all over. My constitution ran right down. I had no energy or desire for anything, except to lie down, which I was obliged to, at iast, for a longer stretch than I appreciated. I was laid up four weeks, being as helpless as a child. The wretched nights I put in I shall never forget. Every day I felt dull and exhausted with continuous torture, but vhen darkness set in the agonies were vorse. My limbs became inflamed and frightfully tender. The bedclothes were irritating to the skin and felt too heavy "or my weak frame to bear. I was .tifled and weighed down with a sense of oppression in my chest, and could •nly draw my breath in short gasps. I ised to pray to get a l&tle sleep, but it lever came. My brain was as fatigued my body with this constant worrying wakefulness, and I coulo. neither read ior hard'y ever think. I was simply jxisting i-rithout any tangible reason for 'oing so, as my faculties were all dead, >xcepting the ever-present torture hich never lulled." " After lying up four weeks you were ■eatly improved, I presume?" " Not greatly—only very slightly. A 'aemist ga.Ve mo some medicines which reduced a little temporary ease, so I ob up, thinking I would soon be all ght again. 1 was sadly mistaken, as y ailment soon became more severe ad vexatious than ever. The pains in' ny back and loins were now more than r . could stand. My appetite fell away -H I could not eat as much as a bisuit and even milk foods would not "gest. Darting pains came between he shoulders, making me very restless nd fidgety. If an occasional warm day xppencd to come along I was perfectly o!ess and helpless. Even a moder ■e'y warm sun was too strong for my bilitated system to stand. I felt sick ■; the stomach through a nauseous taste t my mouth, besides being troubled ith vomiting and belching up of wind. ''eop'essness bscame chronic, and by !.y enforced sacrifice of rest I was aJtost crippled with weakness. Then my owes gave way, an affliction which ■nde me easily startled and terrified, he sound of voices, or even the singing f a bird, was irritating to my ears, nd invariably increased the acuteness ►f my increasing headaches. After my rst experience with the chemist's mediines I thought there was no hope of ver getting properly right again; but t length I chanced to read in the aper about a fellow-sufferer who had icon cured by Clements Tonic, of which aodicine I there and then made a pufr base. To my unspeakable astonishment and d«light I commenced to feel decided change for the better after •king several doses of Clements Tonic, a appreciable increase in my appetite ling the first sign of improvement. .ttle by little the excruciating pains i my back subsided, till there were one left. Stomach discomforts, headmes, body pains—all vanished like a fl tyth. A gradual return of strength risued till I was as sound and strong as ver. My troubles ended after a good ourse of Clements Tonic, and I have >ot even had a headache-since." " You will see your remarks in print." "T hope others may also. You can üblish these facts in any way." STATUTORY DECLARATION. I.
