A GREAT TRIUMPH.

The following case has come under observation : Miss (daughter of a prominent physician, who won't allow UB to publish names, because "it would bo infra dis. and unprofessional") has been in delicate healih tor the last few years. The cause wan simply antenna or poorness of blood, her father had treated her for all sorts of complaints and she had been also attended by several '• ladies" specialists without benefit, The case came under our notice quite accidentally some months ago, Miss was then just 204 years of age, 5 feet 5 iuchep in height and weighed exactly 101 pounds. She had the usual symptoms of antenna, excessively pale and pasty akin and ljps, dark circles round the eyes, soft and flabby limbs, complete loss of periodic functions, was excessively nervous, timid and weak, no appetite, and very restless at night. We microscopically examined the blood and by dilution with distilled water and careful examination, arrived at a very accurate estimation of the number of red blocd corpuscles per ounce, what there were of them appeared all shrivelled and shrunk like dried fruit and were almost destitute of vitalising propel ties. We advised the use of Clements Tonic in doses of a dessertapopnsful after meals, and this treatment was adopted without the father's kno vledge. Four weeks afterwards when 5 small bottles of the remedy had been taken we again examined the blood, the red corouscles had increased by 70 per cent, as near as we could, estimate, and under the microscope had the appearance of oyer ripe red aurrents almost bursting, the patient hid gained 5 pounds then (September 7th, 1889) weighting 7 stone 8 pounds. The appetite was much improved, the limbs were becoming firmer and the muscular tissue more defined and pronounced. She could walk considerable distances without undue fatigue, could eat and digest almost any kiud of food, the lips were pink and firm and the dark circles under the eyes had almost disappeared. We adyised a continuance of the use of Clements Tonic and she took a. further course of four large bogles, and then as perfect strength and vital energy was restored, a louger treatment was not considered necessary. She is now fully restored to health, strong, vigorous, and weighs 10 stone 3 pounds, can do any kind ot work or walk 5 miles without fati?ue, eats fell, sleeps well, and has a very vigorous appetite. What a change from her condition four months ago. Now, reader, here's a case that has baffled the best medical man and therapeutical skill for years, which Clements Tonic has positively cured in 3 months, but we are not allowed to publish names because it would not be orthordox. Mankind may suffer, hundreds of curable cases must be neglected, scores ot lives must be sacrificed, because "itwould be infra dig, and unprofessional" for a medical man to recommend to giye a testimonial tq Clements Tonic because it ig 't a proprietary article or patent medicine." The mere fact of its being a patent medicine is the greatest protection for the public, for were it made otherwise its therepeutical excellence would be subordinate to the profits of its various makers ; whilst the manufacture is in the hands of one maker, it is to bis interest to make a genuine article.

The Hawko's Bay Herald sayß :—"A remarkable instance of canine instinct has been reported to us. It appears that a sheep dog belonging to Mr J. P. Shaw, manager for Mr J. P. Eussell, Whangarqoana, Lower Valley, «Vaira-r-apa, was brqught by train and coach to Waipukurau, and was there misned. His owner advertised, his loss, but, greatly to his astonishment, when he reached home at Whangmoana he found shat the animal was already there, haying journeyed a distance of 200 miles in 48 hours, and travelled over a road which he had not previously seen."
