I 3iad no appetite, and could scarcely eat a - 'particle of_fooil, and was alniDst reduced rfco a skeleton, having entirely wasted r ?away.' I had taken pints of od«liver - 'Oil, malt extract^,* and other medicines ~ 'without relief, wlien I was recommended -^ "to take Clements Tonic. * I procured a 7 "bottle, and'wam thankful to say that I -f -immediately v began to improve ; J could - ?eat better; and relish'ahd' digest what I jdidreafc. 1 I gainert fle^sh'every day, and ,-mvj strength" rapidly, returned, and after <.six.
