THE SACRIFICE OF LIFE.

Thousands of lives are sacrificed annually because mankind are not educated in the first rudiments of hygiene and life preservation. Simple ailments are neglected. The debility increases, and some fatal disease attacks the victim, and all life's pleasure departs, existence becomes a burden, life a trouble, and all because mankind is so apathetic and regardless of the signs nature sends that the vital strength is declining. All cases require immediate attention before it is too late, and a course of Clements T^nic invariably has the eftect of immediately restoring perfect health. Miss Eva Brown daughter of Sergeant Brown, Albury N.S.W., writes on June 15, 1891 :— ' The following particulars of my case are furnished on behalf of the afficted, trusting they may be the means of restoring others to health : For eighteen months I was extremely debilitated, the doctors being of opinion that I had outgrown my strength. My disease is known in medical circles as anaemia or poverty of blood. Pains invaded all parts of my body; I suffered from general languor, extreme weakness, listlessness, dejection of spirits, indigestion, fickle appetite and disturbed sleep. My body presented a bloodless appearance ; my lips were pale and the skin like wax. I ,was under several doctors who prescribed for me: but their treatment did not alleviate my sickness. I imagined my constitution was breaking up, and as the disease progiessed I became more nervous and hysterical. My sufferings were also greatly increased by a shock to the nervous system received last year, when a railway carriage in which I was seated caught fire. When my case was most critical and gave serious apprehensions to my friends and myself, I started on a course of Clements Tonic, which I took in conjunction with Dr Fletcher's pill's. The first two tottles effected a great improvement, and I could relish my food again, and my general weakness and nervousness vanished altogether. I took about twelve bottles of Clements Tonic, j and my pale face is now replaced with the hue of health, and my recovery is as complete as it was speedy.' D. W. Carter, Esq. , of the same city, also writes : * During the past twelve months I have suffered from a general breakdown of the system, and being of a* bilious disposition, suffered acutely from indigestion and its train of distressing effects, most particularly sick headaches. Six bottles of Clements Tonic and a few boxes of Fletcher's pills effected a radical cure and I shall always be glad to certify accordingly. '

The following circular has been issued by the Labour Bureau : — " Officers in the public service are hereby informed that any persons employed in future by the Government as artisans, mechanics, labourers, gardiners, messengers, watchmen, &c, must be engaged through the Department of Labour. All applications for employment are to be recorded at the Labour Bureau."

A. Wellington paper remarks :— " One of the hardest things in all public affairs is to keep the Brass Band from mistaking itself for the entire procession,
