IMPURE BLOOD AND LIVER TROUBLE

Another Case in Dunedin,

The Case of Mr. T. KING.

(By a Dunedin Reporter.)

At a well-appointed shop in Main road, South Dunedin, a special repre sentative interviewed Mr. Thomas King, who carries on a boot-making business at the place mentioned. Mr. King made the following remarks: — ,•• " Some years ago my blood was in a frightfully bad state. About forty or fifty boils came out on my arms and hands, and you can still see the marks of some that broke out on my wrists. Of course I did not have them all at once, but they came one after another with such persistency that I commenced to think I was never going to get rid of them. The burning, aching agony of those boils made me very bad-tempered. Some days I could not work for the pain I was in, and eveni when I was taking a spell I always, felt discontented and irritable. At the same time I suf fered greatly with my liver, a general depression of spirits coming over me, and I looked on the black s»le of every thing. The food I ate neither sustained nor nourished me. It merely lay in my stomach in an undigested state, and the wind that came frcm the process of fer mentation which was going on inside caused me a lot of cramping pains and obstinate fits of belching. A dirty yel low colour appeared in my skin, toge ther with a drowsy look in my eyes, which were very weak, with flitting specks before them. ® Another accom paniment of my disordered condition was a strangling sensation in. my throat, a trouble which immediately followed the conclusion of my meals. I can ac count for this by having a weighty feel ing in my chest, as if I had swallowed a piece of bread which had turned to stone. Another hurtful symptom was a miserable aching pain across my brow; and, besides, I had sharp, stabbing tor tures situated midway between my shoulders,, with similarly aggravating pains in my side. The unpalatable taste in my mouth was enough to make ma sick, indeed, I often thought I would retch my heart up. My tongue, too, was none too clean. I believe that Icng-ccniinued inaction of my bowels had a great deal to do- with both my blood and my liver being out of order."

" Could you not rectify such a small matter as that ?" ©

"I could get nothing to restore re gularity in that-respect. Several kinds cf pills and medicines were tried, but they only had very violent and painful effects for a time, a»d left me m a worse fix than ever. I was greatly ener ratod and distressed by the loss of sleep. After being awake nearly all night I Pelt too fatigued and weak to raise my hammer, and when I did work I can assure you it; xvas greatly against my will, as I had neither energy nor in clination for it. My nervous system waa 'o upset-that I could scarcely drive a nail straight, and I trembled all over very often without any reason. My prospects of getting well looked very blue, for my appetite died out alto gether, and the flesh rapidly fell away. I am sure I was a pitiable object to my customers as they cam© in and out of my shop, a.nd as the boils continued to' appear the most of my friends thought they were incurable. As all the medi cines I had drank had no beneficial effect I lest heart and let things go anyhow. I thought it better to submit to the inevitable than worry myself to death." j

" Did you discontinue the use of medi cine, Mr. King?" n "Yes, when I found they were use less. I had thrown too much money away already. Then I was persuaded to try something else. A friend said: ' Clements Tonic is the best medicine going. You ought to try it.' Sure enough I bought a couple of bottles, and I commenced to feel livelier. The nervous twitchings and indiges tion trouble ceased, and I was able to eat and sleep well. My blood was purified by Clements Tonic, the boils disappeared, and my internal or< gans acted regularly. Strength gradu ally returned, and after a course ot Clements Tonic I was perfectly sound." "T hope I may report your remarks?" " You may publish them in any way you like."

EYES SPEAK Volumes at times of people's happiness or misery. The dull, sunken eye, with its ! dark circle, almost surely speaks of ill health. With the dull eye go usually the sallow sunken cheekjand muddy complexion all testifying to liver and kidney disorder, a deranged stomach, ans. consequent im pure blood. i Mr David Dunne, of 396 Oxford street, Paddington, Sydney, sends us the following, which is well worthy of publication:—For a number of years I suffered acutely from liver and kidney troubles, suffering the most intense agony. I was treated by several physicians for some time, but noth ing seemed to give me any permanent relief. I was becoming despondent and melancholy, but seeing an advertisement that Dr. Morse's Indian Boot Pills were specially made for that clas3 of disease, I determined to give them a trial, and am most happy to say (and shall be only too - glad if you will give this publicity) that I believe they have effected a complete cure, j I have none of the old symptoms, and the i pains have left me entirely. I cannot be too thankful." ' Dr. Morse's Indian Eoot Pills cleanse the stomach, and make the blood rich and red, and are a positive cure for biliousness, indigestion, constipation, headaches, sallow complexion, liver s and kidney troubles, piles, pimples, boils, and blotches, and female ailments.
