| A Imwn for Thetto who Can Profit fey It. Th»Oaseof Mr. J. C. FAHEY. (BY A BUNBDIK KBPOrTBR.) When at certain seasons we see reviews ef the year—mere dull catalogues of what are (railed public events dead and gone even for such life as there ever was in them—we contrast such little budgets with that real review of the year which is unknowable, save that every individual may review his. own infinitesimal part of it, and if he considers it expedient to make known his affairs to the world a reporter's services are called into requisition, as was done in connection with Air. John Edward Fahey, of No. 36 virarige-street, Duriedin, who said:— "About"eighteen months ago my health was in a shockingly bad state, and had been for a good while before that. I was suffering from an obstinate derangement of the internal organs, and matters had arrived at such an unwelcome stage that I could riot get ray food to digest. The misery I experienced through that trouble was greater than I can fiud words to describe. The Work I was dbirig was not by any means light; and ' by the time I got home at night I was fairly done, the feelings of exhaustion being so 'intense that I oonld bav<» almost dropped r w«i hj fatigue'.'' ,f 'P''expect you would be it>l<- to wleffji i?Hiv"«<ii(/iii|y vi'beri in tKa'i condition J 'f stig |''^est'e(i"ilie i 'Sc : i'ibe. (> Well, that was one thing I really juould. ! do, for exhausted nature could not hold out against any desire I might have had to keep awake. Yes, I could sleep 'right enough, but the difficulty about sleeping was "hat it did not refresh me in any] way, for when I awoke in the mornings I felt dead tired, and for the first part of the day I could feel sensations like aches running through my limbs. Oneof the worst features of; niyrsi'cicness was the despondency which seized me. I looked upon life: as an insupportable burden, as if there was nothing but "desolation all round. There'was "not one pleasant thought in.my mind to build myself up with, wad after meals I felt particularly drowsy and uncomfortable." " What forms of disoomfort did you have, Mr. Fahey!" "I had a terribly heavy feeling in my chest, and pains used to attack me right between the shoulders. Often I had giddy turns which made me quite useless for awhile, and my sight seemed togetbesnieared in some way or other. Blaek specks appeared at times before my'eyes, which felt heavy arid soinewhat enlarged in the mornings, and I had an awfully bitter; taste besides, and a coating over my tongue. When I Walked or stooped I found that the aches across my loins got more severe than what they usually were, arid the. least exertion or excitement caused my nerves to shake te-ribly, for my nervous system was very much weakened. My appetite was getting poorer arid poorer every day, but whether I ate much or little it made no difference to the: sense of fulness in the stomach which followed' my meals, and it was quite evident that'every particle of food, fermented. Some days I could hardly hold mv head up for the excruciating aches that afflicted me, and, I wat-just about as weak "arid'miserable »s% when I hit i upon a medicine that changed my life ' entirely." ' '«What medicine was that ? " "It was Clements Tonic, and a grand medioine it was, too. It was all a matter of luck, and came about in this way.. One evening I was reading a Clements Tonic testimonial to my wife, and when I got to the end of it I said : ' What do you say if I give it a trial!' An affirmative answer "was given, so I bought some Clements Tonic, and by'the'time Iliad finished with that remedy I was "twice the man I had'been. My health was made so perfect by Clements Tonic that I think no house should be without it. It by soothing my nerves, and after several days' treatment the weary sensations were not present when I got up in the mornings, neither was the vile taste, nor the coating oh my tongue. Really, I was spellbound with amazement to find that my appetite had cotrie back already, arid by-and-bye the flatulence was done with ; so were the depressing headaches, giddiness, and the pains about my chest and shoulders. It seemed like a. happy dream, but it was better than that. It was a positive fact that Clements Tonic had cured me, and now you can publisli these worde of truth in any form you "please."
