BODY SNATCHING.

Torn From the Grave.

An extraordinarycase has lately come under our notice. It appears that Mr H. A. Crane, who travels over this and the adjacent colonies in the interests of one of the largest importing firms in this city, and\therefore is a well-known man all over thte colonies, has lately been in very indifferent health. He had suffered from a severe shaking at the Windsor Railway Smash, and had been under the treatment of the best physicians in Melbourne and Sydney. The most troublesome symptom was Neuralgia, which was excruciatingly painful; he had been a Bufferer from this complaint ou and off for years, but since the accident he had suffered ten times worse than over. He consulted physician after physician without benefit; they told him amongst them, he had every complaint from atrophy of the liver to heart disease. His case was so remarkable that we give h's own version of it in his own words, considering that he has had a miraculous escape from acute suffering, if not from an untimely grave He says:—"For the last seven years • have been a victim to the most excrucil ating agony from neuralgia, and also suffered from extreme nervousness. I tried hundreds of so-called specifics, but without avail, and, being a commercial traveller, am particularly liable to cold from exposure to draughts, &c.; a slight one even always fled to my facial nerves, and caused acute neuralgic pains, preventing sleep, and causing excessive sympathetic headache. I saw CLEMENTS'" TONIC advertised, pro* cured a bottle, and in two days the pain was completely cured, a con summation I had never expected, and am deeply thankful for same. This was four months ago, and from then till now I have never had the slightest twinge of the excruciating torture 1 used to have. You may make what use of this you like. Yours gra:efully, HENRY A. CRANE. We also received similar letters trom T. Garrett, Esq.. M.P.. who says :—"He found Clements' Tonic a great aid to appetite and digestion," and from Mrs Whalley, who ww quite worn out, tired, weak and unable to move. She took seven battles of Clements' Tonic, and now can eat, work, and sleep, and is stronger than ever before. We could go on like this with evidence that proves the value of Clements' Tonio iu acute diseases right down the column, and then for yards over the edge of the paper, so inexhaustive is our supply of influential and positive endorsement. We will sand full particulars of the diseases Clements' Tonic is suitable for on receipt of your name and, address. F. M, Clements, Newtown Sydney.

Curious Deoliioa. The Glasgow Eicensing Court have just taken the extraordinary step of refusing a renewal of a publican't license for premisrs in Taylor Street on the ground that the applicant was a football player. The renewal was resisted solely because the house was a resort of football players, and it was stated by the police that one night a noise was made by some fifteen men standing in the bar. It was alleged, on behalf of the objectors, that the house bad brought to the locality, which was entirely a residential district, troops of football players. The Petitioner objected to the intrusion of (this foreign element which was much against the quietness of the district. Counsel for the applicant ridiculed the assumption that because his client was a footballer he must be some species of blackguard, who was not capable of keeping a public bouse. One might as reasonably say that the judges of the Supreme Court were unable to conduct business because they took an interest in bowling or in chess.
