centred upon the internal disease which, was dragging my fife away.’ “ Your kidneys were affected, you say. How could you tell?” “ By the sharp, shooting pains in the small of my back. These terrific agonies were particularly severe whenever I stooped, or even if I Ffted a chair. I remember tint when I sometimes tried to straighten myself up suddenly I received such a painful shock that I quivered with agony. The shooting pains were generally follow 'd with a dull, heavy sensation, which lasted for days, and these symptoms alternated for months. The urine was highcoloured and scanty, with a sandy sediment apparent. It was bad enough to be in such a state of misery durirv the day. but to be kept awake by the everlasting torture during she lights was really too b id. The refreshing feeling which sleep alone can produce was defied me. although sometimes I had few hours sleep, when consciousness flickered out through extreme exhaustion, but the sleep did not avail m much comfort, and I awoke aS restless and tired as ever, and felt just as bad as if I had remained awa’e. Und r thiterrible strain .1 knew I could not exist much longer. My nerves gave wav and added to the general discomfort and vicissitudes that such a diseise rts mine entails. The many remedies I trie! were worthless, and I am sorry I did not know as much then as I do now. because it would have ir.oint pounds ir my pocket, besides averting monfhs of suffering. As it wot I then, ht tin only termination to my dise si lay in death. With th s convict'on always upon my mind it is not necessary to describe the desperate condition I was in. But a turning point arrived at last, and it came when I had r.cluallv given up doctors’ and chemists’ cines in disgust. They real-y made me frei'Arbrse, my stomach now being too weak to retain their obnoxious compounds.” “ What was the turning point you mentioned?” . “ Well. I happened to he ir of a person who had suffered somewhat Similarly to myself, and who b-?.! h-on cure ! by a course of Clements Tonic. I resolved to put this medicine to the test, so I began to take it immediately. I was very impatient to get wo!!, and I must admit- that when I had taken a few doses I was not over sanguine of success. The fact of the matter was that my condition was so critical I did not expert to recover. A miracle was performed liter on. I thought I might just as well finish the bottle, so I kept going, and to my inten e delight I felt a change for the better before the bottle was empty. So great was the improvement that I was hopeful and confident, aid bov"ht reveral more bottles of Clements Tonic, which relieved my pains wonderfully, and, more fortunate still, I had sweet and refreshing nights of sleep. I also ate well, and did not feel any more stomach or chest pains. My head was clear, the kidney afflictions ceased, and my nerves were toned. Tonic made my liver healthy, besides removing all traces of indigestion. Strength and vitality returned, and I was soon as robust and happy as a man could w:s . to be. “ May I give publicity to your re marks ?” “ Decidedly. Clements Tonic renew ed my term of life, so vou can publish my testimony any way you like.” STATUTORY DECLARATION. _ I, Andrew Napier Morrison, of Percy Street Sydenham, Christchurch, in the Colony of New Zeal land, do solemnly and sincerely declare that I have carefully read the annexed document consisting ot three (olios and consecutively numbe ed from one to three, and that it contains and is a trite and faithful account of my illness and cure by Cements Tonic, and also contains my full permission to publish in any way my statements—which I give voluntarily, without receiving any payment; and I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true, and by virtue of the provisions of an Act of the General Assembly of New Zealand, intituled "The Justices of Peace Act, iSBs.” | Declared at Sydenham this first dav ot December, one thousand «?»n« hundred, before me, JAMES FORRESTER.
