WHAT PEOPLE SAY.
MRS M. L. MORGAN, CLIFTON, ARATAPU, AUCKLAND, N.Z., under date 23rd January, 1892, writes : Dear Sir,—Some two years ago, having previously enjoyed very good health, I was taken seriously ill, and found it very difficult to get relief. At first I treated myself, thinking that I should soon be well again ; but my illness grew upon me and I was completely prostrated, and unable to do anything. I sought medical advice from our local doctor, and he prescribed for me. My ailment was described as black jaundice and gall-stones, and at times I suffered much pain. Our doctor's treatment did not do me much good, as the attacks were frequent and very severe. Some months passed, and I felt that I was becoming hopelessly ill. My friends were shocked at my sallow and changed appearance, and more than one has told me since that they never expected to see me well again. I went to Auckland for change of air and scene, and to seek further medical advice. I got it, and for a time seemed to improve, the change evidently doing me good ; but it was not tonic enough, for after a week or so I was again laid up. All the medical advice I got in Auckland seemed unavailing, and I returned home with very little to hope far. Here I suffered several attacks, and had to lay up repeatedly. My husband had a very poor opinion of patent medicines, but seeing Clements Tonic advertised as of such wonderful effect in serious cases, and being quite at a loss to suggest any other untried remedy, he brought me home a bottle, and we determined to try it. At the same time we resolved to say nothing of the medicine we were using until fully satisfied of its effects. The first dose did me good and I improved ra.pjd.ly-, Friends who would not have been" surprised to hear of my death were really astonished at my rapid recovery. I was so.on satisfied as to the value of Clements Tonic, and gladly recommended it to others, and so did my • husband. The storekeeper spoke to him one day, and asked him, if he had been recommending Clements Tonic, for he was almost sold out, and had only one bottle left. "Give it to me," said my husband; " I wouldn't be without it for anything.'' By the tin\§ I had taken one bottle I was able i;o gat. ' about my work again. Friends, thought the improvement only temporary, and expected to seo me. prostrated again, but I am thankful to say that such has not been the case. Every dose did vs.-work, and after a fortnight I only took onj Tose a day, in the early morning. I have u:-_t;d only three bottles, and have the fourth, iu ' the house. Ido not tako it ' but fly t,q it on the ieant anything being wrong, «•■"''' " r . -i' uom ot J times piovedii*- ' •- V UIVe m f ny afretuW- be a S ood preventive ...ng sickness. It is now eight or nine months since I recovered, and Clements Tonic has kept me in good health all through. I can again get on with my house and dairy work with comfort and pleasure. lam pleased to be able to recommend Clements Tonic, for I have found it a true friend, and am convinced that it will give health to many now suffering if they will only give it a trial.—l am, Sir, yours gratefully, M. L. MORGAN. A matched pot never boils, but it often makes the man that watches it boil to seo the other follow rake it iu. It is not as much the ignorance of health laws as it is the negiet of their observance that is responsible for the greater portions of ills that afflict humanity.
