IMPURE BLOOD AND LIVER TROUBLE

Another Case in Dunedin. S8» Cm* of Mr. T. KUIQ, f% • Smedbt B*porier4 'M ft well-appoiated: shop la Mainroad, South Dunedin, a special representative interviewed Mr. Thomas King, who oarriea on a boot-making business at the place mentioned. Mr. King made the following remarks:- v " Some years ago my blood was in a frightfully bad state. About forty or fifty boils came out on my arms and hands, and you can still see the marks of some that broke out on my wrist*. Of coarse I did not hare them all at once, but they came one after another with such persistency that I commenced to think I was never going to get rid of them. The burning, aching agony of those boils made me very bad-tempered. Some days I could not work for the pain I was in, and even) when I was taking a spell I always felt discontented and irritable. At the same time I suffered greatly with my liver, a general depression of spirits coining over me, and I looked on the black file of everyjThe food I ate neither sustained nor nourished me. It merely lay in my stomach in an undigested state, and the wind that came from thn process of fermentation which was going on inside caused me a lot of cramping pains and obstinate fits of belching.' A dirty yel* low colour appeared in my skin, toga* ther with a drowsy look in my eyes, which were very weak, with flitting specks before them- Another accom.medicines were tried, but they only had very violent and painful effects for a time, and left me lev a worse fix than ever. I was greatly enervated and distressed by the loss of sleep.. After being awake nearly all night I felt too fatigued and weak to raise my hammer, and when I did work I can assure you it was greatly against my will, as I had neither energy nor iaclination for it. My nervous system was so upset that I could scarcely drive"© nail straight, and I trembled all over very often without any reason. My prospects of getting well looked very; blue, for my appetite died out altogether, and the flesh rapidly fell away.) [ am sure I was a pitiable object to my customers as they came in and out ef' my shop, and as the boils continued to appear the most of my friends though* they were incurable. As all the medicines I had drank had no beneficial effect I lost heart and let things go anyhow. I thought it better to submit to the inevitable than worry myself 4» death." " Did you discontinue the use of medicine, Mr. King?" "Yes, when I found they were uaa* less. I had thrown too much money away already. Then I was persuaded to try something else. A friend said; 'Clements Tonic is the best medicine going. You ought to try it.' Sure enough I bought a couple of bottles, and I commenced to feel livelier. The nervous twitchings and. indigestion trouble ceased, and I was able to eat and sleep well. My blood was purified by Clements Tonic, the boils disappeared, and my internal organs acted regularly. Strength gradually returned, and after a course ef Clements Tonic I was perfectly sound." "I hope I may report your remarks?" "You may publish them in any way you like."
