Rescued from Misery.
■ -..».-. ■ John E. Aubrey, Eset., Sofala, N.S.W., kindly furnishes tne following testimony :— tl In January, 1879 I was master of a pro. visional school in the western district, and I I married a delicate young lady, and was shortly afterwards appointed teacher under the Board of Education. Our first child was born in September 1880, afier which my wife never seemed to regain lur usual strength. In May, 1881, she was suddenly taken very, ill ; the family doctor was s«nt f oi* and. was greatly puzzled; he, however, prescribed and the patient partly recovered. About twelve months later she was very much troubled with a painful throbbing movement in the abdomen, especially when lying down, loss of appetite, 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 aa improvement, but without result. Another doctor did all he could and decided that the case was one of enlargement of the 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 dootore continued to do but little good and that only temporary, but 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 violent 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 farther suffering, I read of Clements Tonic sndits wonderful effects, and Bent for a bottle. The first dose was too strong for the debilitated stomach. I diluted it with water and gradually inoreased it as the itomaob could bear it. Mrs Aubrey haa now taken three bottles and the effect is most marvellous ; the swelling has entirely disappeared, and the waist is reduced by seven inches. The eyesight is renewed and strengthened, the appetite returned, the noise in the bead diminished, and, to use my Wife's own words, " Language utterly fail" to describe the relief and benefit she baa experienced by the U9e of onlythree bottles of Clements Tonic" I goniider Clements Tonic the most palatable and- effective medicine I have ever used in either England, India, Africa, or Australia. . . , -JOHN E. AUBREY.
