Rescued from Misery
John E. Aubrey, Esq., Sofala, N.S W., kindly furnishes the following testimony :— " In January, 1879, 1 was master ' of a provisional school in tbe western district, and I married a delicate joung lady, and was shortly afterwards ap» pointed teacher under the Board of Education. Our first child was born in September, 1880, after which my wife never seemed to regain her usnal strength. In May, 1881, she was suddenly taken Tery ill ; the family doctor was sent for and was greatly puzzled ; he, however, prescribed and the patient partly re covered. About twelve months later she was very much troubled with a pain* ful throbbing movement in the abdomen, especially when lying down, loss of appe* tike, and what food was taken afforded no nourishment. Another doctor was called in, who sounded and prescribed, but to no purpose. We left the neighbourhood and went to Lithgow Valley, hoping to effect an improvement, but without result. Another doctor did all he could and decided that the case was one of enlargement of ahe liver, and this proved to be the case as the side sometimes swelled so large as to prevent dressing; so matters progressed and got from bad to worse. Numerous doctors continued to do but little good and that only temporary, bnt all agreed that the system was generally weak and wanted building up; and the liver would sometimes swell and burst off button after button off her ulster while standing in a store. For the last two years the trouble has been complicated with a most distressing rushing noise in the head, so violeDt as to render it impossible to lie in bed at night, with violent attacks of windy colic, causing complete prostration, and excoriation of the throat. Eventually, after further suffering, I read of Clements Tonic and its wonderful effects, and sent for a bottle. The first dose was too strong for the debilitated stomach. I diluted it with water and gradually increased it as the stomach could bear it. Mrs. Aubrey has now taken three bottles and the effect is marvellous, the swelling has entirely disappeared, and the waist is reduced by seyen inches. The eyesight is renewed and strengthened, the appetite returned, the noise in the head diminished, and, to use my wife's own words, "Language utterly fails to describe tbe relief and benefit she has experienced by the use of only three bottles of Clements Tonic." I consider Clements Tonio the most palatable and effective medicine I have ever used in either England, India, Africa, or Australia. JOHNE. AUBREY,
