The Case of Mr. Wm. MCCARTHY. (From the Windsor and Richmond Qauttt). BY OUR BPXCIAL REPORTER. • Information having been conveyed to the JtowttfthatMr.McCarthyhadrecoveredfrom A Very Serious illness, we at once detailed a reporter to make full enquiries into the matter, and alao to pertonally interview McCarthy himself on the eubject. When our reporter arrived at McGrath's Hill, near Windsor, he found whom he sought, powerfully wielding a •ledge hammer in his forge. The way that Mr. McCarthy lifted up the heavy sledge as though it weighed but a few ounces quite astonished our reporter, for he had expected to find the blacksmith in A Weak State of Health. " flow do you feel, asked our reporter!" " Nerer felt better in my life," replied the blacksmith, and he put down his hammer and entered straight away jnto a conversation. " You ask me what was the matter with me," said Mr. McCarthy, "well, that is what no one could tell me. My illness came me as unexpectedly As a Thunderbolt. One day I was working in the forge when I was seized with a riolent headache. I had to at once put down my tools and go into the house. From that day I date my sufferings. I could no longer enjoy my food. In fact, in a very short time eating caused me intense }>ain. and I only took what food was absoiitely necessary to prevent my dying of sheer starvation. When my food (and tLab always of the lightest and most easily digestible kind) was eaten it caused a painful Distension in My Stomach. Sour gas would rise in my throat, together with an intensely bitter fluid. This, I believe, is what is commonly called heartburn. My skin began to get of a dirty yellow colour, and I started to lose weight rapidly." •• How about your work V •• I had to entirely Qive Up My Work, M 1 was too weak to do any. Sleep been me almost entirely out of the question. I was a yictim to the worst form of sleeplessness. Night after night I passed walking up and down my bedroom, getting into bed and again rising to pace the room in the vnin hope of inducing s>lcep. In the morning I would be so weary that I could scarcely stand, and yet was quite unable to obtain The Blessing of Sleep. How I did long for it, if but for half-an-hour. No one who has not suffered as I did can have the faintest idea of the advantage ©f proper sleep." •• What effect had this want cf sleep upon your nerves ?" " The very worst. I began to get honiMy nervous. I couldn't bear the sight of strangers. The most trifling noises would ■end me into A Fit Of Trembling. I beeame extremely irritable, and in spite of myself, I used to fall into a terrible Btate of excitement about nothing." "Any other symptoms, McCarthy?" "Yes ; strange pains now came on in my back and loins. They were doubtless kidney and lirer troubles and extremely agonising, and used to fairly wear me out, and then there arose another stage of my illness which was so dreadful that even now I hardly care to talk about it. As you understand, although I couldn't work I could still walk, and was accustomed to take a ■troll in open air on fine days in the hope that the fresh air would < o me good. Gae day, when some distance from heme, without any warning, I saw everything going black before me, and I fell down in a fit. It was epilepsy, or the falling sickness, and I was Taken Home Insensible in a cart. The state I was in for some time after this I can hardly describe. I vomited and was so weak I could hardly move. All day long I sat in a dull, lifeless sort of a way. I seemed to possess no interest in the

CLEMENTB TONIO has a record of cures nono can rival. Hundreds of base iubltitutes come on the market, the plausible advertising resorted to attracts the attention of the thoughtless and unwary, and they have a sale for a year or two till they are found out. For a medicine to remain popular for the number of years Clements Tonic has, it must have exceptional merit. The Australian public is too well educated and too discriminating to be gulled for long even by clever, if false advertisements, and that is the reason all tht quack nostrums run to the length of their tether in less than four years in this country.
