THB YOUNO QUBBB t The young Queen of Holland as is well known, was the mirror of active health, as welt as of charming graoe and freshness. Her premature confinement was no sooner known than the disappointment of the country, which had been looking forward to $ happier event, was darkened by hint 1! that She Hloeas of their Hollaed libtla Sovereign was directly due bo the uakiadae3s of her hsraband.

Another Victim' Enervating Heat of Summer* The Case, of Mr, IS. RIHDAIi&i i (By v Napier Reporter.) Mr. Magnus Randall was seen by ouff representative afe the former's residence ia Waghorne-streefc, Napier. « # "Have you any objection to giving me the facts concerning your remarkable experience?" "None whatever," replied Mr. Ran dall. "I am glad of the opportunity, as my testimony may come under the notice of some other sufferer who can derive benefit in the same manner that I have done." i "What was your complaint P" I "Well, I had so many ailmente that I can hardly give you a definite answer; but the cause of the whole of my long sickness was through a terrible derange ment of my digestive organs. I wa» living in Melbourne when first attacked, and 1 attribute my illness to th© ener vating heat which prevails there every summer. My food turned on me after every meal. Everything I ate lay in a heavy, solid lump in my stomach, mak ing me • feel dreadfully uncomfortable, and too indolent to move. Dull, op pressive pains in the chest indicated that my food was not digesting; then violent headaches came on. Tarn an inveterate reader, but my eyesight was aow very bad, and the throbbing pains in my head made reading useless, as I could not concentrate my attention on the subject matter of a book. * Sharp twitches of agony appeared under the shoulder blades, making me very rest less and irritable. I used to go home after a day's work feeling exhausted and knocked out; but I could not sleep at night.. Every morning I arose with aching limbs, feeling more languid and depressed than, the day before. A feel ing of melancholia was tipon me, and I could not arouse enthusiasm for any thing. My bowels were also out of or der. I was very irregular in that re spect, being constipated for days, with subsequent attacks of diarrhoea. The lower part of my right side was extreme ly tender, the least pressure producing great pain. I had a bad taste in my mouth, which made everything nauseous; to the palate, although in course of time' this did not prove a great hardship as I; had completely lost my appetite." "How did you get on without eat ing?" ! "Very badly indeed. I got thinner i and weaker every day, and felt fatigued before I started out from home. 1, looked the picture of misery, and I felt I as dejected as I looked, My face was white and pinched, and my hollow j cheeks showed that my constitution was undermined with my complaint, which at length upset my nervous system to such an extent that my nerves started trembling and shaking at the least noise." j "Were you in this state very long?" j "About twelve months altogether, and as I had taken a great number of all kinds of medicines without receiving any j benefit, I began to think that my suf-! ferings were going to last for ever." "You were apparently deceived in that conjecture." j "I was, lam thankful to say. My habit of looking at everything readable accounted for my release from life-long suffering. > A description of a gentle man's cure from the «ame distressing complaint as mine came under my notice through perusing a pamphlet. He was cured by Clements Tonic after a long illness, so I thought there might be a chance for myself. I bought several bottles of Clements Tonio, and it was the best purchase I ever made. It acted like magic on my enfeebled and debilitated system. A few doses of Clements Tonic removed the feeling of tightness in my chest after eating (which I did very heartily after each dose), be sides relieving me of the discomfort and pain in my stomach. My bowels were regulated and my head became clear and free from sickening aches. The excru ciating agonies disappeared from mj shoulders and ribs, my nerves wer< soothed and toned up, and I slept splen didly and awoke refreshed and energetic. M.v strength came back rapidly, and mj weight increased every day. I felt bore anew. Clements Tonic did its worfc thoroughly removing every symptom ol my complaint, and my health has beer | grand all these years since I was cured. j Clements Tonic is a wonderful medicine and my experience teaches me that it is the one remedy that can always be de pended upon. In any way you like you may publish these facts."
