THE SUCCESS OF LABOUR.
At the present time great changes are coming about in the social status of mankind. A man is not now-a-days considered a God, because his father was a clever usurer or merchant. It is becoming a recognised fact that all men are equal — as men — and have each the right to enjoy life's blessings to an equal degree. In the past it has always been the aim of the rich to grind down the poor, and as the latter had but one alternative — starvation — they were compelled to be thankful for what they could get. But now education is opening men's eyes to the fact that mankind could enjoy much more pleasure and comfort if such large shares of the world's wealth were not annexed by the few. The day of a great industrial revolution is at hand, and a brighter and better future is in store for us both socially and financially, and whilst paying attention to these great interests it is also essential to take particular care of our physical well-being. An all seeing Providence has so constituted the human frame that the brain is immediately informed of any organic derangement ; a simple headache is a sign that the liver is deranged, or that the nervous system is weakened, which, if neglected, continues to decline ; the nervous issues waste away and completely collapse, and a fatal termination frequently results. Herr Otto Franzen, Adelaide, S.A., writes : — 'I was taken with a sudden fit whilst dressing one morning last February, and fell on the iron bedstead, and cut my temple open which bled profusely; the fall completely stunned me, and I was unconscious for hours. My family procured medical assistance, and I got somewhat better in about a fortnight ; but ever since the accident I suffered tortures from nervous headaches and neuralgia and weakness. I tried all the best doctors in this city and Melbourne for these troubles, all to no purpose. I was almost distracted with pain, and applied to another doctor, and he recommended Clements Tonic, sajing that my nervous system was prostrated, with the shock, and that Clements Tonic would rebuild my constitution. I was rather doubtful, but procured a bottle and felt better with the second dose, I continued its use, and am thankful I did, for I truly believe I should have been in a madhouse long ago if I had not used it, and I am really gratefull for my sufferings were intense, and doctors could not cure me, but Clements Tonic did, therefore it deserves my gratitude."
