Notices. H/EPATIC INDURATION! Clements Tonic Called In. IT CURED EVERY CASE.

The Case of Mr. JAS. SMITH. (From the "Liverpool Herald," July SO.) (by our special reporter.) Reports continually coming to hand from different quarters as to the most exceptional recovery of Mr. Jas. Smith, of High-street, Liverpool, from a complication of disorders which would prove fatal to a man of an ordinary constitution, w« put inquiries on foot to get the truth. A representative of this paper found Mr. Smith in his shop in High-street, and asked him if the current reports of his case were true. "Yes," replied Mr. Smith, "and as I think My Remarkable Case should have full publicity in the cause of humanity I will give you an hour. My complaint crept upon me in a slow, insidious manner, like a thief in the night; it must have progressed for many months before I suspected anything was the matter, till Moat Alarming Symptoms Set In." ««What were they?" "A strange dizziness and palpitation of the heart. Even then I thought there was nothing seriously wrong with me but a touch of indigestion, which I expeoted would pass off in a day or two. I found out later, however, that my Liver and Kidneys Were Diseased. In a morning the taste in my mouth waa as bitter as gall, and my food, instead of digesting, used to go sour, causing me to have a disagreeable breath, and the bitter taste to rise almost all day. After eating I had extreme oppression in the stomach, with fits of intense pain. Then the undigested food would generate a sour gas, which would gradually distend my body till The Agony Was Unbearable. My heart would palpitate frightfully, and I came to the conclusion that I had heart disease. However, I found out later the wind in my stomach was causing a pressure on my heart that resulted in palpitation. On another occasion I could have sworn that a tumour was growing within me, as I could Hard, Painful Lump in my side." (This was hardening of the Liver —Ed.). " Did you suffer from any marked liver or kidney symptoms ?" "Yes; a dull, aching, dragging pain across the loins and in the small of my back became continual. It felt exactly like a 56 Pound Weight hanging on my backbone ; at night the pain was woise. It then felt red hot as I rolled from side to side vainly trying to get relief, and there were pierciug Pains Across The Shoulders, and the muscles got contracted." *' In what way, Mr. Smith ?" " One morning I found my head all drawn to cue side, and my neck was fixed in this position. When I wanted to turn my head to look at anything or to speak to anyone I waa forced to turn my whole body." " You called in a doctor then, I suppose 1" " Yes; don't talk of doctors to me. I must have taken Bucketfuls of Their Physic, but with no result. I went slowly from bad to worse. Sometimes I was so giddy that I had to cling to something to keep on my feet. Terrible headaches afflicted me. I liad long since lo3t my appetite. I ate aB little a 3 possible, because of the pain and distension that always followed. ITIy Long Continued illness altered my disposition very much. I became morose and dispirited. I grew nervous, and I couldn't bear anyone to even speak to inc. I lost greatly in weight, and if you bad seen me then you could hartlly have been persuaded that I was the
