world that wai moving round me. I became very despondent and low spirited." " Were doctors called in to see you ?" "Oh, yes, and they prescribed for me, but with no result." " How long were you ill altogether ?" "I was ill for two years. Nothing seemed to hold out any hope." " Did you suffer from further seizures ?" "Yes, most unfortunately, I did. Not long after the first fit I had another, and then another. Each fit was worse than the previous one, and my illuesi seemed to be rapidly progressing To a Fatal Close. I was now in a terrible plight. All my symptoms were intensified. I suffered more than ever from want of sleep. I been me extremely weak and thin, and in a very short time I dropped from list to 9st 61b—a loss of 221 b. This is a Tremendous Loss of Flesh for a light man, and will speak more plainly of my condition than any mere words could do. My irritability and excitability had become worse since my seizures. I was hopeless and in despair. I was laid up in bed, and never expected to leave it again. Once o little book was brought me by a friend «Read it carefully,' he said. I did so. Th< book was descriptive of Clements Tonic and how it had effected cures in the apparently Most Hopeless Cases." "What did you do?" " I sent for some and commenced a course of it. After about a dozen doses 1 began to notice a distinct improvement in the general tone of my nerves. They gradually became better in tone and less liable to cause me to shake suddenly. My nervous system gathered vitality every day. That Gloomy, Foreboding Feeling which had hung over me for so long began to lift like a cloud." " Could you eat and digest your food ?" " Yes; with better spirits came a renewed appetite, and Clements Tonic, I found, had a wonderfully stimulating effect on my digestive organs, and lastly, but by no means least, sleep once more came to mc. Deep and Refreshing Sleep was now the rule with me every night I was soon out of bed and in the open air. The exercise did me good, and as I continued Clements Tonic my strength continually improved." " And what about the other pains ?" _ " Those in the back and head all left me, and was soon able to do some light work. Very shortly Clements Tonic put me on my legs again, as Strong and Able a Man as ever I was in my life." "And you had no more seizures, Mr. McCarthy ?" "No; I firmly believe the epilepsy has been completely driven out of my system, and I don't fear it now." " You look in good health, anyhow !" "Yes, and can do as hard a day's woik as any blacksmith in Australia." "And can I put this in the Gazette ?" " Yes, you can, and as I am known all the country round anyone who requires further particulars of my case can easily find me? As you may guess I am extremely grateful for my cure from what aeemed a life-long, if not fatal illness." STATUTORY DECLARATION.
