A REGULAR MARTYR TO Biliousness

BUT NEVER Troubles Him NOW. The Case of THOMAS STEWART, Esq. (From the “Penrith Timea.") BY OCR SPECIAL REPORTER. “Unquestionably Clements Tonic alone pulled mb through. 1 couldn’t get an atom of good out of the numerous other medicines I tried, but this remedy did the business for me in double quick time.” These were the words of Mr. Thomas Stewart, baker, Windsor-road, Rooty Hill, near Sydney, to a reporter who was detailed to have a little -•hat with him anent his sometime sickness. “ Yes,” said that gentleman, offering the newspaper man a chair, and taking a seat himself. “ Once upon a time I frequently had many strange attacks. I was attacked with a giddy sickness. My food disagreed with me, and I had to drop eating for a time altogether almost. I lost all my strength and energy. My work became a burden ; I seemed to bo always tired. Violent headaches came on. There was a

heavy feeling of oppression and great swelling at tiie pit of tiie stomach after eating. I passed terrible nights, sleep being almost out of the question, and my mouth and tongue were covered with a bitterish substance in the mornings.’ 7 “ You were bilious, apparently ?”

“Yes ; I used to be a regular martyr to biliousness. I was never safe from fear that I was going to be prostrated by a bilious attack. I tried all sorts of medicines to ward off the attacks when I felt them coming on, and I took many cleverly advertised peas, pills, pearls, and pellets. They were guaranteed to cure everything from measles to paralysis, but, with the exception of Clements Tonic, all these

medicines were utterly useless in any stage of my trouble.” “ To return to your last attack !” “Oh ; yes,”replied Mr. Stewart. “Well, I had further distressing symptoms. A severe bleeding at the nose set in. This was most difficult to stop, and, as you may expect, it was very weakening. The giddiness became worse, the headaches more unbearable, and I was suffering from want j of proper rest and nourishment, for I could I eat nothing worth speaking of when it was ) nut Itefore me ; so I got a bottle of Clements ] Tonic.”

“ How did you come to get that ?” “ Well, you see, news was brought to mo of a worse case than mine being cured, and, as the source of my information was trustworthy, as I said before, 1 stint for a bottle.” j “ How did it act ?” w?'- *' Just like a truei>ick-me-up. It started to strengthen my disordered stomach and digestive organs from the very first, and I could soon take my food without any sense of oppression or swelling afterwards, and, more than that, I could enjoy what I did eat. I suffered no more from headaches, and, after a few days, I slept as soundly as I

always do when lam well. I can tell yon I was pleased to get rid of that giddiness. To cut it sliort, Clements Tonic soon put

iuea.s right as I am now, and have been ever since, and I could again go about my work with energy. Biliousness never troubles me now, for if I feel a sign of it coming on, I " make haste to take a. few -iloseo of-

Clements Tonic, and that wards it off. I could t< 11 you of more than one case where the greatest benefit has been derived from that remedy, and I know one hotel in

particular where it is regularly served over the bar at 6d. for a tiny glass full, and the proprietor of the hotel says it is far and' away the most effective pick-mc-up to be obtained for love or money.” “ But I came to get your opinion V’

“ Well, I think it is the only genuine remedy going. Anyhow, it cured me ;it did what none of tha other things could do, and I must speak as I find. The proof of tiie pudding is in the eating, you I now!” “■ What about printing this—you don’t object f’ “ You can do just as you think fit about that. I’ve not the least objection as lc ng as you only print what I've said, foi J know that to be the pure truth.”
